Entity consistency: what the deep dive returns

An illustrative entity consistency deep dive for Northgate Interiors, a fictional brand — an eight-person interior design studio in Leeds working on residential renovations. Same structure, same checklist and same evidence format as a live run. The figures are examples, not a real client's results.

Summary

Six public sources describe Northgate and no two agree. The trading name carries a suffix in three of them, the phone number differs between the site and the map listing, and the business description on LinkedIn still refers to a service the studio stopped offering. Search engines and assistants hedge when sources disagree, and that hedging is visible in how the brand is summarised.

Priority fixes, ordered by impact

  1. 1Publish one description and one contact record across all six sources.
  2. 2Add Organization schema with sameAs links to the homepage.
  3. 3Correct the Houzz address and update or close the dormant X profile.

The checklist, with verdicts

0 passed · 3 needs work · 3 failing

Every check is fixed and versioned, so two runs of the same site are comparable. A live deep dive returns the whole entity consistency and brand accuracy checklist; this sample shows a representative slice.

  • Brand name written consistently

    Standard: Same spelling, casing and legal suffix everywhere.

    Needs work

    What we found: "Northgate Interiors", "Northgate Interiors Ltd" and "Northgate Interior Design" all appear across the six sources found.

    Fix: Pick the trading name for every public surface and reserve the legal name for the footer and terms only.

    Impact: mediumEffort: low
  • Descriptions match across profiles

    Standard: Site, listings and social bios describe the same business.

    Fail

    What we found: The website, the Google Business Profile and LinkedIn give three different one-line descriptions. LinkedIn still lists commercial fit-out, discontinued in 2023.

    Fix: Write one 150-character description and paste it, unchanged, into all six profiles.

    Impact: highEffort: low
  • Contact details match

    Standard: Address, phone and email agree across every profile found.

    Fail

    What we found: The site publishes 0113 496 0182; the Google Business Profile publishes an 0800 number that forwards to the same line. The Houzz listing shows a former address on Kirkstall Road.

    Fix: Publish one number and one address everywhere, then correct the Houzz listing.

    Impact: highEffort: low
  • Service or product list matches

    Standard: What you sell is described the same way on and off site.

    Needs work

    What we found: The site lists four services; the Google Business Profile lists seven, including two the site does not mention.

    Fix: Mirror the site's four services on the listing.

    Impact: mediumEffort: medium
  • No stale or orphaned profiles

    Standard: No abandoned profiles with outdated positioning are live.

    Needs work

    What we found: A dormant Twitter/X profile last posted in 2021 still carries the 2019 positioning and ranks on brand-name searches.

    Fix: Update or close it. A dormant profile with old positioning is still a source.

    Impact: mediumEffort: low
  • Organization schema declares the entity

    Standard: Structured data names the brand, URL, logo and sameAs profiles.

    Fail

    What we found: No Organization schema found on any page. No sameAs links declare the brand's own profiles.

    Fix: Add Organization schema on the homepage with name, url, logo and sameAs pointing at all five live profiles.

    Impact: highEffort: lowSeen on: Homepage

Measured evidence

Each verdict above is formed against numbers, and the numbers are printed with their source. Where a source has nothing for a domain, the checks that depend on it are excluded rather than guessed.
