Search identity is how public information connects your name to your work, roles and official profiles. It helps brand partners, viewers and collaborators distinguish you from other people. For your industry, useful evidence includes your official website, platform profiles, credited collaborations and independent coverage. It is broader than where one page ranks.
02
How is an AI answer different from search identity?
+
The basics
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.
03
What does an identity gap look like in my industry?
+
The basics
An identity gap is a missing or conflicting connection between your real work and the public evidence describing it. For example, different handles, channel names and biographies make one creator look like several unrelated identities. The practical task is to identify the specific mismatch, correct the source and connect the relevant records.
04
How are structured identity and a Knowledge Panel different?
+
The basics
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.
05
Which sources should a creator prioritise?
+
Your industry
Begin with your official website, platform profiles, credited collaborations and independent coverage. 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.
06
Do large follower counts automatically create a Knowledge Panel?
+
Your industry
No. Followers describe reach on a platform; they do not by themselves establish a coherent public identity. Clear ownership of channels, consistent biographies and credible references help explain who creates the work behind the audience.
07
How do I connect several handles or a rebranded channel?
+
Your industry
List your current official channels on your website and explain a public former name where relevant. Update platform biographies and link destinations. Keep a clear record of the change rather than creating conflicting profiles for the same creator.
08
What does the free identity check tell me?
+
Getting started
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.
09
What is the difference between Pro and working with your Identity Engineer team?
+
Getting started
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.
10
How long does the Identity Engineer service take, and what is the refund promise?
+
Getting started
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.
11
Will structured data guarantee AI mentions, citations or a Knowledge Panel?
+
Getting started
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.
12
How do I measure progress after fixing my identity gap?
+
Getting started
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 creator, progress starts with correct attribution of your work; one search result or AI response is only one observation.
13
I have over a million followers. Why no panel?
+
Your industry
Follower count is not a direct entity signal. Panels are driven by structured data, references, and trusted off-platform corroboration.
14
Can I get a panel for a brand name instead of my real name?
+
Your industry
Yes. Brand entities are possible when brand naming, references, and structured data are consistent across sources.
15
Do I need a Wikipedia page?
+
Your industry
Not always. Strong, relevant Wikidata and independent editorial references can still strengthen the evidence around your identity.
