What is Knowledge Graph?

A massive database of facts about entities, people, places, businesses, concepts, and how they relate. When you search for a famous person and see a box with their photo, bio, and related info, that's Knowledge Graph data. It helps Google and AI understand what things ARE, not just keywords.

Most local businesses don't appear in the main Knowledge Graph (that's for famous entities). But you can help AI understand your business as an entity: use schema markup, maintain consistent information across platforms, build your Google Business Profile, and get mentioned on authoritative sites.

AI uses knowledge graphs to understand facts and relationships. When someone asks 'restaurants in downtown Denver,' AI uses knowledge graph data to understand which businesses are restaurants, where downtown Denver is, and which businesses are located there. Being clearly represented helps you be found.

No, but related. Your Google Business Profile feeds into how Google understands your business. The Knowledge Graph is broader, a database of entities and relationships. A complete, accurate GBP helps you be recognized as an entity, which supports Knowledge Graph visibility.
