What is an entity profile?
Short answer
An entity profile is the collection of information AI systems associate with a company, person, product, or organization. It represents the system's understanding of who the entity is and how it relates to other topics.

Detailed answer
Entity profiles are not publicly visible records. Instead, they are built from information found across websites, directories, social profiles, articles, documentation, and other sources.
A strong entity profile contains consistent information about the company's name, category, products, founders, audience, and expertise.
The more complete and consistent this information becomes, the easier it is for AI systems to identify and understand the entity.
