*Core concept* · *Entity & Knowledge Graph*

## Definition

An entity attribute is a specific, structured property associated with an entity — such as a business's founding date, location, industry category, or founder name. Attributes are the individual facts that collectively define what an entity is and how it relates to other entities.

## Why It Matters for AI Search

AI systems build their understanding of an entity from its attributes. A brand with complete, consistent, and machine-readable attributes across its digital presence — website schema, Wikidata entry, Google Business Profile — gives AI systems more to work with and less to guess. Missing or conflicting attributes are the most common cause of inaccurate AI representations.
