The problem
What breaks without it.
A company cannot establish authority through self-description alone. Machines compare owned claims with independent, contextually relevant sources.
What it is
Entity Authority aligns publications, mentions, links, founder expertise, and industry participation into a coherent evidence layer around the entity.
Why it matters
Credible corroboration helps systems distinguish established expertise from unsupported positioning.
EntityBuild methodology

Common questions
Entity Authority, clarified.
Is entity authority link building?
Links are one signal, alongside credible mentions, authorship, interviews, research, and industry contributions.
Do you use bulk link placements?
No. Authority is built through relevant, credible sources—not mass spam links.
