Why it matters

`sameAs` on an Organization or Person points at the entity's canonical handles elsewhere (Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, Wikidata): it's how AI engines reconcile your entity to the open web and confirm authenticity. A broken URL (404, wrong scheme, typo) silently breaks that reconciliation; you stay disambiguated from yourself.

The fix

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Brand",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/brand",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand",
    "https://github.com/brand",
    "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12345"
  ]
}
</script>
```

Each entry MUST be:

- Absolute (`https://...`), not `//cdn` or `/relative`
- Live (not a 404: open each one in a browser)
- A profile/page that ACTUALLY belongs to this entity (no aspirational links to "official" handles you don't control)

Wikidata is the highest-value entry: adding it dramatically improves AI-engine entity reconciliation.
