Definition

A person entity is the structured representation of an individual — a founder, author, expert, or public figure — within a knowledge graph or schema system. In schema.org terms, it is an entity of type Person, with attributes including name, job title, and affiliation, and can be linked to social profiles via properties like sameAs. Person entities are increasingly important for AI citation, particularly for professional services brands. Content attributed to a named individual with a verifiable person entity — schema markup, Wikidata entry, LinkedIn profile, published bylines — carries higher E-E-A-T signals than anonymous content. For PLC clients, building a person entity for the founder or lead practitioner is one of the most direct ways to attach credentials and experience signals to the brand’s content.
