Entity Recognition

AI's ability to identify and understand specific named entities like brands, people, or products.

DEFINITION

What is Entity Recognition?

Entity recognition (or Named Entity Recognition/NER) is an AI capability to identify and classify named entities in text—including organizations, products, people, and locations. When AI recognizes your brand as an entity, it can better understand context, relationships, and relevance. Strong entity recognition means AI 'knows' your brand as a distinct entity rather than just words in text.

IN PRACTICE

We optimize your digital presence to ensure AI systems recognize your brand as a distinct entity with clear attributes and relationships.

WHY IT MATTERS

If AI doesn't recognize your brand as an entity, it can't properly recommend you. Entity recognition is foundational to being understood and referenced by AI systems.

EXAMPLES
01

AI recognizing 'Salesforce' as a CRM company, not just a word

02

Understanding that 'Apple' in tech context means the company

03

Connecting your brand name to your products and services
