Frequently asked
Why do AI tools sometimes confuse my brand with a namesake?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity ground answers using Wikidata + Wikipedia as primary entity anchors. When a user asks about "Apple" the AI's grounding system uses Wikidata's entity-disambiguation to pick which Apple — the fruit, the tech company, the record label, the New York City nickname. If your brand shares a name with a more-established entity in Wikidata, the AI defaults to the better-known entity and your brand loses citations. This tool surfaces every Wikidata entity matching your brand name so you can see the collision before it costs you AI visibility.
What is sameAs and why does it matter for AI grounding?
sameAs is a schema.org property that tells search engines and AI tools "this entity on my site is the same entity as this canonical URL elsewhere." Adding sameAs URLs pointing at your Wikidata entity, Wikipedia page, LinkedIn company page, Crunchbase, and verified social profiles inside your Organization JSON-LD gives AI tools an unambiguous identity signal. When the AI grounding system sees these links, it can confidently associate your site with the right entity even if your brand name collides with a namesake.
I'm not in Wikidata yet — how do I create an entry?
Wikidata is open-edit (like Wikipedia). Anyone can create an entity, but newer brands sometimes get challenged on notability. The minimum-viable Wikidata entity has: a label (brand name), a description (one sentence), instance-of: business/organization, P856 (official website) → your domain. If you also have a Wikipedia article, P31 + P856 + the Wikipedia sitelink is enough. Go to wikidata.org/wiki/Special:NewItem to create one. Be prepared to defend notability if challenged — having press coverage, traffic, or third-party citations helps.
Does providing my URL change the result?
Yes, in a helpful way. If you provide your URL, the tool checks each Wikidata candidate's P856 (official website) claim against your URL. If one matches, it's labelled "your URL" — that's the Wikidata entity AI tools likely associate with your brand. If none match, your brand may be a namesake collision or simply not in Wikidata. The sameAs recommendations are tailored to whichever candidate is "yours."
