Define the canonical facts
Create an approved record for legal name, public name, description, founding information, headquarters or service model, leadership, contact points, languages, markets and core services. Only publish facts the organisation can support.
This record should guide the website, media materials, profiles and structured data.
Make relationships explicit
Explain how the organisation relates to its products, brands, founders, leaders, locations and partner programs. Ambiguous relationships can cause sources to be merged incorrectly or treated as unrelated.
Clear links and consistent language help both people and systems follow the structure.
Support facts with visible content
Structured information should describe what a visitor can also see. Hidden markup that introduces unsupported claims does not create reliable authority.
Company facts, service pages, leadership information and contact details should agree with one another.
Govern changes and corrections
Rebrands, new domains, leadership changes and market expansion can leave old descriptions across the web. Maintain a change register and prioritise corrections on the most visible and authoritative sources.
Use redirects and canonical references to preserve continuity when public URLs change.
Questions and answers
What is a canonical company facts page?
It is the organisation controlled page that presents approved identity, contact, leadership, market and service information as a reference for other public materials.
Can structured data fix conflicting public information?
It can clarify the preferred facts on the website, but conflicting external references may still need direct correction and stronger supporting evidence.
