Authority & entity

Off-page SEO

Your entity authority — the signals outside your site that tell search engines (and AI models) you're a trustworthy source worth citing.

What's included

Entity authority

We build your entity (Organization + Person) coherently across the web graph — sameAs, mentions, consistency — so AI recognizes and cites you.

Clean link building

Earned links, not randomly bought ones (see the Lab experiment). Quality and relevance, with zero penalty risk.

Digital PR & mentions

Mentions with and without links that build brand signals — exactly what models look for when deciding who to name.

Trust signals

Reputation, reviews, NAP consistency — the trust foundation E-E-A-T is built on.

Why it matters

In the AEO era, entity authority matters more than ever: models choose sources they "know." Off-page done right gets you into that set.

Link building done wrong is a real risk — we test it in the Lab on our own sites before recommending anything.

Frequently asked questions

About Off-page SEO

Entity authority is how clearly search engines (and AI models) recognize your brand as a distinct, trustworthy entity associated with your topics. It matters because AI models prefer to cite sources they "know" from coherent external signals — mentions, links, NAP consistency — not just what you write on your own site.
It works — but only clean link building, with links earned through relevance and value, not randomly bought ones. Toxic links carry penalty risk. We test link-building hypotheses in the Lab on our own sites before recommending anything to a client.
Yes. Unlinked mentions matter for the parametric channel — what the model "knows" about you from training data. A brand mentioned often in trustworthy sources becomes associated with its topics in the model’s memory, even if the mention brings no direct click.
Off-page builds exactly the Trust and Authoritativeness signals from E-E-A-T: who cites you, with what reputation, how consistently. For AI engines, E-E-A-T isn’t just a ranking factor — it’s a gate-keeping criterion for entering the set of sources they can cite.
