Overview
The RankMath SEO plugin’s “Local SEO” settings (found on the schema settings page) can be used by individuals to set the entity home schema settings. The entity home is used by Google as an authoritative source of truth for information about an entity, in this case, an individual person.
The BlitzMetrics Site Builder tool for personal brands is designed to help manage your personal brand with the goal of triggering and managing a Google Knowledge Panel. By configuring these settings in the RankMath SEO plugin, you are telling Google that this site, specifically the Home page, contains reliable information about you for your Knowledge Panel.
