Prerequisites​

  1. Agent WordLift Access: Ensure you have access to Agent WordLift's enhanced tools
  2. Research Objectives: Define what type of entity intelligence you need
  3. Content Goals: Identify how enhanced data will improve your content or strategy

Step-by-Step Workflow​

Step 1: Basic Entity Research​

Start with a comprehensive entity lookup:

Research comprehensive information about [entity name] using the enhanced Google Knowledge Graph with WordLift semantic enrichment. Include all available biographical, corporate, or geographic data.

Example for Person Research:

Research comprehensive information about "Albert Einstein" using the enhanced Google Knowledge Graph with WordLift semantic enrichment. Include all available biographical data.

Step 2: Corporate Intelligence Gathering​

For business and competitive research:

Analyze the company [company name] using enhanced knowledge graph data. Include headquarters, key people, industry classification, founding details, and semantic relationships with competitors.

Example:

Analyze the company "Rocket Mortgage" using enhanced knowledge graph data. Include headquarters, key people, industry classification, founding details, and semantic relationships with competitors.

Step 3: Entity Relationship Mapping​

Discover connections between entities:

Map the semantic relationships between [entity1] and [entity2] using enhanced knowledge graph data. Identify shared attributes, connections, and contextual relationships.

Example:

Map the semantic relationships between "Tesla Inc" and "SpaceX" using enhanced knowledge graph data. Identify shared attributes, connections, and contextual relationships.

Step 4: Multi-Entity Comparative Analysis​

Research multiple related entities:

Compare and analyze the following entities using enhanced knowledge graph data: [entity1], [entity2], [entity3]. Highlight similarities, differences, and competitive positioning.

Example:

Compare and analyze the following entities using enhanced knowledge graph data: Apple Inc, Microsoft Corporation, Google LLC. Highlight similarities, differences, and competitive positioning.

Step 5: Content Enhancement Research​

Gather entity data specifically for content creation:

Research [entity name] for content creation purposes. Focus on unique biographical details, lesser-known facts, notable achievements, and semantic connections that would enhance article depth and authority.
