Decoding Google’s Related Entity Patent

Making the “Related Entity Patent” Intellectually Accessible
Search engine optimization (SEO) has become a commonplace concept for those who want to succeed at reaching consumers via virtual pathways. SEO is the culmination of keywords, phrases, and the construction of written content designed to make websites more visible and relevant to Google and other popular search engines. This is dependent on an ever-changing Google algorithm, or fluidly applied equation that is constantly updated using new information gathered based on customer driven data.

This brings us to the related entities patent that allows Google to identify and display results that may share keywords or valid concepts that relate them to the term being searched. Google keeps a database of related entities that allows the algorithm to connect relevant topics and search results that may have roots in the original concept. This broadens search results and creates a more organic experience for the user.

How Does the Patent Relate to SEO?

The term “patent” usually refers to an ownership of an idea or product. In this instance, patent also encompasses intellectual data and the relationship between search results and peripheral information.  Instead of just focusing on the words and data being put into the search bar, Google also analyzes the way that these terms relate to other information. This allows it to apply the algorithm to the understanding of human nature as it relates to the internet and search preferences.

SEO content must be updated and redesigned in order to apply these new findings using the following strategies:

  • Become Concept Oriented: It’s not just about keywords anymore. Content needs to contain related concepts that can link the primary information to other searches. The more your content shows up in searches, the more clicks it will generate.
  • Write for Your Target Audience: Think like your audience and write material that you would want to read. This applies to blog content, landing pages, website content, and all digital copywriting. Online content needs to take sales a step further and allow a personal connection to the readers. The Google entity patent is helping to humanize search results—keep this in mind when choosing your writing style for online content.
  • Create a Complete Package: This doesn’t mean that you can ignore keywords and related links. Find a balance and employ every concept in a way that’s both subtle and effective when reaching your audience and creating online alliances with other search results.

Work with Experts if Content Isn’t Your Niche

Following constantly changing related entity patents isn’t something that every entrepreneur has the time and professional energy to focus on. It helps to turn the responsibility over to a company whose primary focus is on content trends and SEO results.

What Kind of Material Should I Read for Business Insights?

Reading is like the spinach of the writing world, except instead of bulging muscles, it gives you bulging vocabularies! The more you read, the more you absorb the written word and the better equipped you are to string together coherent sentences that engage, convert, and transform.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.
