Transcript of The Entity Search Revolution

How people become things…or how the knowledge graph works with the social graph.
“…when it comes to information, the real value isn’t just in a list of data elements, but in understanding the properties and relationships, basically how these data elements connect. That’s what a knowledge graph and a social graph truly represent.”

Properties & Relationships
“…when it comes to information, the real value isn’t just in a list of data elements, but in understanding the properties and relationships,
basically how these data elements connect. That’s what a knowledge graph and a social graph truly
represent.”
John Mihalik, Search Engine Journal

Leveling the Playing Field
“We are trying to level the playing field a bit. All those people doing, for lack of a better word, over optimization or overly SEO – versus those making
great content and great site. We are trying to make GoogleBot smarter, make our relevance better…”
Matt Cutts, Google

Semantic Markup• Schema.org is a shared mark-up vocabulary, created by
search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex to give them a greater understanding of a webpage and its contents.
• To achieve rich snippets and appear in new Google displays that leverage the knowledge graph, markup the structured content on Web pages with Microdata aka Schema.org.
• For example, when reviews information is marked up in the body of a Web page, Google can identify the content as a review and display the review with rating stars and an image.

Google+ Verification
To have your business appear in Google local results, create or verify a Google+ Local page and optimize it like you would the home page of your website.
To have authorship information appear in search results for the content you create, connect a personal Google+ Profile with the content via an onsite tag.
12
1. Link your content to your Google profile by creating a link to your Google profile from your webpage, like this:
Replace [profile_url] with the your Google Profile URL, like this:
Your link must contain the ?rel=author parameter. If it's missing, Google won't be able to associate your content with your Google profile.
2. The second step of the verification process is to add a reciprocal link back from your profile to the site(s) you just updated.
Authorship Tags

Authorship enhances visibility as social signals become more important in search results.
User location data allows Google to deliver the most relevant local results to searchers.

Google can deliver answers to complex questions and keep users engaged for longer periods of time.
Word of mouth is digitized and can thus be amplified and optimized via social listening and SEO tactics.
