Your content mentions only your own brand. You avoid naming competitors, partners, or industry leaders because you think it helps your SEO. This isolation strategy backfires completely because Google understands entities through their relationships with other entities, not through standalone mentions.
Name related entities naturally in your content. Mention industry leaders, partners, even competitors when relevant.
This demonstrates your brand operates within a real industry ecosystem rather than existing in isolation. When you reference other established entities, Google maps the connections between your brand and the broader industry landscape, which strengthens your entity authority because search engines recognize that credible businesses acknowledge the competitive and collaborative relationships that define their market.
Weak brands hide from their industry context. Strong brands embrace it confidently. They understand that mentioning other entities doesn’t diminish their authority, it actually reinforces their position as knowledgeable players who understand their competitive landscape and can provide comprehensive industry insights.
Does your content show Google how you fit into your industry’s entity network?
