A name. A role. A clear introduction.
Clear answers. A clearer identity.
Understand AI answers, search identity and the gaps worth fixing first.

Search identity is how public information connects your name to your work, roles and official profiles. It helps editors, readers and commissioning teams distinguish you from other people. For your industry, useful evidence includes publisher biographies, publication author pages, bylines and your official writing portfolio. 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, your bylines and specialist subjects appear across disconnected author pages. 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 publisher biographies, publication author pages, bylines and your official writing portfolio. 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.
Use a consistent author biography and link to your official portfolio where the publication permits it. Curate original article links by publication and subject. The publication’s author page is useful evidence of authorship; copied articles add little clarity.
Use the public name you work under and only publish an alias relationship you want to make public and can support. You do not need to expose a private legal identity just to make a coherent public writing profile.
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 writer, progress starts with correct attribution of your work; one search result or AI response is only one observation.
Yes. Pen-name entities are supported when naming, profile links, and structured data are consistent across trusted sources.
Relevant publications can support your identity. Link to articles that clearly identify you.
It is harder, but still possible by strengthening attributable sources like your site, interviews, and professional profiles.
