**O8 — Wikidata Entry** (Chapter 16 - Brand Signals): Create brand entry on Wikidata for Knowledge Graph

Why it matters (SEO + UX)

Why it counts: it’s a comprehension signal for the engine. When poorly applied, common issues include: ambiguity (wrong associated query), duplication between pages, or loss of performance on bounce rate.

On volume-generated sites, this criterion also acts as a **safeguard**: a stable rule prevents 1,000 errors at once.

How to check (step by step)

Approach: quick audit (manual + 1 tool). Recommended tool: **Your WG Analyzer**.

  1. Open the source code and locate the concerned element (tag/structure).
  2. Check hierarchy and consistency with H1 + intro.
  3. Run a crawl to detect pages violating the criterion.

Tip: first isolate 10 “representative” URLs (top pages + generated pages) before scaling the fix.

How to fix properly

Strategy: repair, re-crawl, and monitor in Search Console.

  • Rewrite the plan: clear H1, H2 = sub-questions, H3 = details.
  • Add a differentiating element (scope, method, example) to avoid duplication.
  • Check consistency with intent (info / comparison / action).

Then: re-crawl 50–200 URLs, then monitor Search Console for 7–14 days (impressions/CTR/indexing).

Concrete example (illustrative)

Example (illustrative):

  • **Context**: product sheet for SEO training in Paris
  • **Before**: generic H1 + sections without hierarchy (incoherent H2/H3).
  • **After**: intent-oriented H1 + H2 by sub-questions (case: product sheet — SEO training).
  • **Note**: Goal: make the plan “scannable” and intent-aligned.

How to prevent recurrence on 10K generated pages?

Freeze an auto-generation rule (title/structure/schema/URLs) + add automatic control (crawl or test) before production import.
