#SEOisAEO episode 9 | How Google Uses The Knowledge Graph

The Google Knowledge Graph: How it is weaved into Google’s algorithm

This one is a stunner! Beyond RankBrain and Position0, few people have a good grasp as to how the Knowledge Graph is weaved into Google’s algorithm. The Knowledge Graph holds the key to all three pillars of AEO –Relevancy, Understanding, and Credibility.

In this 9th episode of Semrush #SEOisAEO series, Jason M. Barnard hosted three experts who gave reasoned and credible insights into how the Knowledge Graph is locked into the search algorithm, and also great tips into the steps we can take to integrate the Knowledge Graph into all three pillars of the AEO strategy.

Cindy Krum, Andrea Volpini and Bill Slawski guided the audience through the very definition of Knowledge Graph and how does it work.
