Entity Graph Viewer
Explore entities, pages, and their connections from saved work.
Entity Graph Viewer, the PirateSERP relationship map, draws the entities, pages, and connections stored in your saved work as an interactive graph. Each source reads work that you already saved in another tool for the active project, so select the project before you choose a source.
Choose a source
Choose a source from the source list, then choose the saved item it asks for.
| Source | What to select | What the graph shows |
|---|---|---|
| Entity SEO Audit | A saved audit from Entity SEO Auditor. | The entities the audit extracted and the statements that connect them. |
| My Articles | A saved Content Editor draft. | The entities in that draft. |
| Service Atlas Industry | An industry researched in Service Atlas. | The industry, its services, and the entities they share. |
| Site Auditor | A saved crawl from Site Auditor. | Pages, observed internal links, and suggested links. |
| Site Topics | A saved crawl from Site Auditor. | Topics that appear on more than one page of the crawl. |
| Schema Generator | No selection; the source uses the active project's workspace in Schema Generator. | Schema entities and the properties that connect them. |
An empty source shows a message such as No saved site audits yet or No researched industries yet. Create the saved work in the named tool first. Opening a graph does not run another audit or collect more research.
Explore the graph
- Type in Search nodes to locate a node by name.
- Move the slider to set a minimum value and hide smaller nodes. The slider label names the measure, for example Min mentions, Min salience, Min services, or Min pages.
- Click a legend entry to hide or show that group of nodes.
- Hold the pointer over a node to read its summary.
- Click a node to open its details. Entity details can include Wikipedia and Wikidata links; page details include Open page.
- Click Fit view to bring the whole graph into view.
- Click Play or Pause to run or stop the layout, and choose Normal, Slow, or Slower for its speed.
The graph reports how many nodes and edges are visible, and the Explore and save settings panel reports how many are hidden.
Read the connections
A connection means something different in each source. Read the legend for the selected source before you rely on a connection.
| Source | Legend groups | What a connection means |
|---|---|---|
| Entity SEO Audit, My Articles | Entity types and Verb | Two entities that share context (co-occurrence), or an extracted statement that joins entities through a verb node. |
| Service Atlas Industry | Industry, Service, Verified entity, Entity, Ontology relation | A link between the industry, its services, and their entities, or a relation found in the industry research. |
| Site Auditor | Authority (PageRank), Hub (CheiRank), Duplicate topic, Orphan, Suggested link | An internal link on your site, or a dashed suggested link. |
| Site Topics | Topic (size = pages) | Two topics that share saved pages. This is co-occurrence, not a stated relationship. |
| Schema Generator | Business/Org, Person, Page/Content, Place, Product/Service, Other, Orphan | A schema property that references another entity. |
Click Relationships to list every visible connection. Select a connection to open Relationship evidence. It shows the stored source passage when one exists and Open source when a source URL is stored. A connection without a stored passage reads No source passage or assertion metadata stored.
Co-occurrence records shared context, not causation. Topic membership, extracted assertions, stated relationships, internal links, and schema properties each carry a distinct meaning.
Focus and save an exploration
Open Explore and save settings to narrow the graph to one part of it.
- Choose a node in Focus node.
- Choose Neighborhood: All, One hop, or Two hops (max 500 nodes).
- Choose Direction: Both / undirected, Outgoing, or Incoming.
- Choose a Relation type, or keep All types.
- Where the source offers it, choose Layout: Network or Type layers (not taxonomy). Type layers group nodes by category; they do not establish a parent-child hierarchy.
- Enter a Settings name, then click Save exploration settings.
Saved settings store the focus, relationship filter, and layout for the current source. Node search and legend filters are not saved. Settings stay in your browser, separated by account, project, and graph source.
Click Restore followed by the settings name to reopen saved settings. Click Reset focus and filters to return to the unfocused graph.
Act on what you find
- Site Auditor and Site Topics: review orphan pages and suggested links. The Saved audit exploration panel for these sources holds Link review, Compare audits, and Content Opportunity Map. Read Internal Linking to add and track links.
- Schema Generator: inspect orphan entities and missing relationships, then make corrections in Schema Generator.
- Entity sources: inspect the evidence before you rely on a relationship. For the full written audit, run Entity SEO Auditor.
