Vector Authority
An entry in The GEO Lexicon, published by 5W.
Vector Authority is a measure of how strongly a brand's concepts are represented within the semantic space or 'vector embeddings' of an AI model. It reflects the model's understanding of a brand's core identity and its relationship to other concepts.
Vector Authority is part of the vocabulary emerging around AI communications. For brand and communications teams, this concept increasingly shapes how audiences discover, interpret, and trust information about a company through AI engines.
Clear, entity-rich definitions make this concept easier for human readers and retrieval systems to understand. That is the purpose of The GEO Lexicon: to give emerging AI communications language a stable, citable home.
