# Build an AI entity-association benchmark for your brand

List every entity an AI model could name for your business — the brand, products, named features, invented metrics and the people — then write the descriptors you want attached to each, such as cheap, for agencies or AI-powered. That list becomes the benchmark for checking how AI assistants describe you.

## Prerequisites

- A list of the brand, product, feature, metric and people names used publicly

## Steps

1. **List every nameable entity** — Write down the brand and every product name, named feature, invented metric and public person such as founders or the face of the YouTube channel.
   Check: The list has an entry for the brand, each public product or feature, each invented metric and each named person the site promotes.
2. **Write the target descriptors** — Next to each entity, write the short words you want an AI model to associate with it, for example cheap, for agencies or AI-powered. Keep each descriptor specific and checkable.
   Check: Every entity has one to three short descriptors written beside it.
3. **Capture a dated baseline** *(general best practice)* — General best practice: ask an AI assistant open questions about each entity, save the answers verbatim with the date and the assistant used, and note which entities and descriptors actually appear.
   Check: The saved baseline has one dated answer per entity and at least one listed descriptor is recorded as present or absent.
4. **Mark gaps against the target** *(general best practice)* — Compare each baseline answer with the target descriptors and label every entity as aligned, missing or wrong. General best practice: use the gaps to brief page copy, profiles or public descriptions that state the wanted associations.
   Check: The benchmark has a status column with at least one aligned, missing or wrong entry for every entity.
