Definition
The work goes beyond adding isolated markup. It aligns visible content, Schema.org identifiers, canonical pages and external sources so systems can resolve the same entity without major contradictions.
Useful distinctions
- An entity is an identifiable object; a keyword is a search expression.
- Schema.org describes relationships but does not create a recognized entity by itself.
- Consistency makes verification easier without guaranteeing ranking or citation.
Observable signals
The concept can be examined through documented observations rather than promises:
- canonical name and aliases
- stable @id values
- Schema.org relationships
- external corroboration

Search Generation
Search Generation begins when the user stops browsing an index and delegates the sorting to a system that retrieves, selects, synthesizes and recommends on their behalf.
↗GEO
GEO organizes a source so a generative system can retrieve, understand, verify and, when the context supports it, cite that source in an answer.
↗Generative Visibility
Generative Visibility measures the presence, representation and citation of an entity or source across a documented set of generated answers.
