sameAs Links
By explicitly listing a person or organization's other verified profiles, sameAs links help AI systems confirm that different mentions of the same brand or individual across the web refer to the same real, verifiable entity.
Which profiles you list matters more than how many. Links to platforms that verify identity — a company register, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, Crunchbase — carry weight because someone checked. Links to profiles anyone can create in a minute add length without adding proof, and a long list of those is weaker than three that can be corroborated.
sameAs links are one of the clearest, most direct ways to establish that a person or brand is real and verifiable, strengthening the trust signals AI systems weigh when deciding what to cite.
An author's schema includes sameAs links to their LinkedIn and personal website, helping an AI system confirm that the same person is being referenced consistently across different pages.
What is a sameAs link?
A schema property connecting an entity to its other verified profiles — LinkedIn, X, Crunchbase — so AI can confirm scattered mentions refer to one entity.
