Identity consolidation is the process of merging fragmented or duplicate entity records into a single, authoritative representation — ensuring that an entity is consistently recognized as one coherent presence rather than multiple partial records across different systems. Identity consolidation is the remediation side of entity SEO. When a brand has multiple listings, inconsistent name formats, or conflicting attribute data across platforms, AI systems may treat these as separate entities — splitting the brand’s authority across multiple partial records. Consolidating identity means identifying all the places the brand exists, correcting inconsistencies, merging duplicates, and linking all representations back to a single canonical entity record.
