## Canonical Definition

John Mingam is a SEO architect and senior Entity SEO / AEO specialist based in Montreal. He works on the technical, semantic and informational structure of brands, websites and digital entities so they can be understood, verified and cited by search engines and AI systems.

He is the creator of the SFT method, for Structure, Flow, Trust, and of Entity Confidence(TM), a proprietary algorithm for evaluating the observable credibility, coherence and reliability of web entities.
