14 answers

What is search identity for a speaker?

The basics

Search identity is how public information connects your name to your work, roles and official profiles. It helps event organisers, bureaus and attendees distinguish you from other people. For your industry, useful evidence includes event programmes, organiser biographies, recorded talks and your official speaker profile. It is broader than where one page ranks.

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.

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, event biographies describe inconsistent expertise or do not clearly connect talks to you. The practical task is to identify the specific mismatch, correct the source and connect the relevant records.

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.

Which sources should a speaker prioritise?

Your industry

Begin with event programmes, organiser biographies, recorded talks and your official speaker profile. 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.

Which speaking appearances are useful identity evidence?

Your industry

Public organiser pages that identify you, the event, the subject and your actual role are useful. Link to the relevant programme or recording. Distinguish keynote talks, panels, workshops and attendance rather than presenting them as equivalent appearances.

How do I align bureau and event biographies with my current expertise?

Your industry

Keep an approved short and long biography on your website and provide it to organisers and bureaus. Update your subject areas and public roles, while preserving accurate historical event details. Support expertise with real work and published material.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 speaker, progress starts with correct attribution of your work; one search result or AI response is only one observation.

Which sources are most useful?

Your industry

Start with official professional or institutional records, then verify specialist profiles and credible independent sources that clearly identify the same person.

Can I use my professional or public name?

Your industry

Yes. Include legitimate aliases or former names where they are publicly supported so similar-name entities can be distinguished.
