I don't know if you understand what I'm suggesting. I feel that since Goog is so aware of linkbuilding strategies, letting them be used for this doesn't make much sense, but letting them rank it's not the same. So I have seen G Drive docs ranking, and obviously Goog sites ranking (in fact I don't remember which, something like "web design in New York", there was a G Site ranking top 5 with an omega-shit site overly stuffed with keywords which was really weird for such extremely competitive keyword.But who knows, AFAIK I've lived over the last years multiple times, strange situations when suddenly for a couple of months people were doing crazy things that work really well (like ultra-stuffing a site out of sudden and ranking #1 because probably someone noticed that for a short period of time certain types of stuffing were being bypassed by Goog, probably due to a coding issue).Here we are talking about two things: branded entities and G stacking. Not necessarily correlated although I assume that one of your "branded entities" will always be 100% for sure, a Goog site (in fact, there is a placeholder Goog site when you don't set your website on GMB but still you opt for it), so to some extent Googy suggest that you should be doing such.By the way, in the last month, I saw those Local SEO gurus (aka gangstas) were obsessed with the branded topics. Like focusing a ton on branded CTR and all that things. So probably your point goes around this, the idea that probably a new "contextual & branded authority" could rise as a major ranking factor (instead of the classic topical authority). Makes a lot of sense to me, but still I have some doubts on the later (G stacking). I definitely need to do further testing on this (luckily is cheap), to see how powerful could it be compared to 2.0 in general (not for rankign by itself, but for throwing authority).</blockquote>
