3. Brand recognized as Wikidata entity

   Fix 3 · E-E-A-T · +4 points

   Now: No Wikidata entry matched. AI engines preferentially cite brands they recognize as knowledge-graph entities.

   Do this: Create a Wikidata entry for "digiocular" (and a Wikipedia article when notable). The single highest-leverage move for "is this a real, recognized brand?": answer engines key off knowledge graph membership.

   Fix 5 · Content · +3 points
