Entity Check:
What AI Learns About You.

Paste a URL and see the entity card an engine could build from your structured data: who you declare yourself to be, which corroboration links you offer (and whether they resolve), your authorship signals, and your FAQ entities - with the missing high-value fields flagged.

Not a validator - a mirror

For syntax validation, use Google's Rich Results Test - that job is owned. This tool shows what your markup says: the identity an engine can learn from the page alone. It approximates extraction, not any engine's actual index.

How it works

  • One crawler-style fetch - no JavaScript rendering; JSON-LD blocks are parsed (including @graph structures), microdata is counted.
  • The card renders your declarations - Organization or Person identity, description, logo, author, publisher, and FAQ entities, verbatim from your markup.
  • sameAs links get resolved - up to six are fetched; each shows resolved, unresolved (with the HTTP status), or not measured when our fetch failed. Our failure is never scored as your broken link.
  • Gaps are named - missing description, zero corroboration edges, authorless articles, unparseable JSON-LD.

Example result

A real run against our own homepage on 2026-08-04:

Citevera

2 JSON-LD blocks; types: Organization, WebSite, FAQPage, Question. One sameAs link (the WordPress.org listing), fetched and resolved. Gaps flagged: the Organization entity has no description - a real finding on our own site, now on our own fix list - and sameAs misses other high-value corroboration hosts.

Common entity problems on real sites

  1. No Organization entity at all - the site never tells engines who it is.
  2. An Organization with a name but no description - identity without meaning.
  3. sameAs links to profiles that moved or never existed - corroboration pointing at 404s.
  4. Two plugins both emitting Organization schema with different values - engines get a contradiction.
  5. Articles with a publisher but no author, or an author as a bare string with no Person entity.
  6. FAQ markup on pages whose visible content has no matching questions - a mismatch engines can detect.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a schema validator?

No, deliberately. Google's Rich Results Test and the Schema.org validator own syntax validation. This tool answers a different question: from the structured data your page actually serves, what identity, corroboration links, authorship, and Q&A entities can an engine learn - and what high-value fields are missing. Invalid JSON-LD does get flagged, because an engine learns nothing from it, but for the line-by-line syntax diagnosis use a validator.

What is an entity card?

Our rendering of what your structured data declares: the organization or person name, its description, sameAs corroboration links (with whether each actually resolves), the author and publisher on article pages, and any FAQ entities. It approximates the grounding an engine can extract from the page alone - not what any specific engine has actually indexed.

Why do sameAs links matter?

sameAs edges connect your entity to profiles that corroborate it - a WordPress.org listing, LinkedIn, GitHub, G2, Wikipedia. They are the cheapest disambiguation signal you control: they help engines separate you from similarly-named things. The tool resolves each link because a sameAs pointing at a 404 corroborates nothing. Only ever list profiles that really exist - a fabricated sameAs is worse than none.

Does the tool read microdata and RDFa?

Shallowly and honestly: microdata itemscope attributes are counted so you know they exist, but not parsed into the entity card - JSON-LD is what the card is built from, and it is the format Google recommends and most sites use for entity data. If your identity lives only in microdata, the card will look emptier than your markup deserves; the count tells you why.

The card shows a description I do not like. Where does it come from?

Verbatim from your own structured data - usually the description field on your Organization or Person node. That is the point: this is what you are telling engines. Change the markup and the card changes with it.

Fixing what the card shows: Organization schema deep-dive, entity alignment, and author schema and E-E-A-T. On WordPress, the Citevera plugin emits Organization, WebSite, Article, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD without duplicating your SEO plugin's. How your content reads once found: score its answerability.
