15 minutes to discuss your identity gap and next steps.
Understand which public records reinforce the same person, which sources conflict, and what deserves attention first.
Review researcher and institution relationships.
Assess ORCID, publication and profile consistency.
Identify duplicate or misattributed scholarly records.
Check whether the canonical website and visible structured data describe the same person, role and relationships.
From uncertainty to clarity
See how your website, work and profiles can tell one consistent story.
Public profiles use inconsistent names, roles or biographies.
Authoritative profiles describe one person with consistent facts and relationships.
The public footprint relies mainly on owned or promotional claims.
Official records and credible independent sources corroborate the important facts.
Works, organisations and profiles appear as disconnected records.
Clear links and accurate markup explain how each separate entity is related.
From a first result to a connected academic & researcher.
Your name, role and introduction begin to appear together. A small panel can be the start of a much clearer presence.

Search identity is how public information connects your name to your work, roles and official profiles. It helps research collaborators, institutions and readers distinguish you from other people. For your industry, useful evidence includes institutional biographies, researcher identifiers, publisher records and publication metadata. It is broader than where one page ranks.
An AI answer is a generated response to a particular question. Search identity is the connected public evidence about who you are. An answer can mention you, cite a source or omit you entirely; that does not by itself establish or disprove your identity. Check whether it describes your work accurately, which sources it cites and when it was observed.
An identity gap is a missing or conflicting connection between your real work and the public evidence describing it. For example, name variants, institution changes and duplicate author records divide your publication history. The practical task is to identify the specific mismatch, correct the source and connect the relevant records.
Structured identity organises your supported facts and relationships through consistent content, linked profiles and appropriate structured data. A Google Knowledge Panel is a search feature Google assembles from public sources. A panel can be one visible outcome of recognition, while the underlying identity remains useful even when no panel appears.
Begin with institutional biographies, researcher identifiers, publisher records and publication metadata. Compare your public name, current role and important work across those records. Fix sources you control first, then request supported corrections from other publishers. A clear, attributable source is more useful than many copied or contradictory profiles.
A stable researcher identifier, such as ORCID, can help connect supported publications and affiliations to the same person. Keep the record current and check publisher attribution. An identifier helps disambiguation; it does not validate every claim or guarantee search visibility.
Use your researcher identifier, subject area and accurate affiliation history to distinguish records. Correct duplicate or misattributed publications through the relevant publisher or database. Update your current institutional biography without erasing the affiliations attached to earlier work.
It provides a starting view of the public identity match and evidence the assessment can verify, including available website, profile and structured-data signals. Review the sources and any ambiguity before acting. An unavailable source is unmeasured, and the report is a baseline rather than a complete record of everything on the web.
Pro is a guided workspace at $79.99 USD per month after the free trial. You review and publish prepared updates, with monitoring and next steps in your workspace. Our Identity Engineer team carries out an agreed, one-time Knowledge Panel project for you, starting at $899. A consultation helps establish your scope before you choose.
If our Identity Engineer team does not get your agreed Google Knowledge Panel live within 4–7 weeks, we will refund your full project payment. Your written quote confirms the project start date, delivery window, and what counts as a live panel before you pay. This promise applies to the agreed Identity Engineer project; it does not apply to the Pro subscription.
Structured data should describe the same facts visitors can read on your pages. It is one part of making your identity clear, alongside accessible content and supporting sources. It does not purchase an AI recommendation or control what Google displays. Assess AI answers, source citations and panel appearances separately, using dated observations.
Keep a dated baseline of your website, profiles and supporting records. Recheck the exact conflicts you corrected, then compare identity accuracy, cited sources and any panel changes separately. For a academic or researcher, progress starts with correct attribution of your work; one search result or AI response is only one observation.
Start with official professional or institutional records, then verify specialist profiles and credible independent sources that clearly identify the same person.
Yes. Include legitimate aliases or former names where they are publicly supported so similar-name entities can be distinguished.
