What is an entity extraction tool for Google Images?

Our Google Images entity extraction tool is a Python script in Google Colab that automatically parses and extracts the entities present in a Google Images search. 

These entities can include objects, people, places and other visual elements. And they are very useful for use in tags, descriptions and titles associated with multimedia elements.

When used wisely, this makes it easier for search engines to understand your content.

Our script uses advanced AI algorithms to recognize and categorize the entities collected in Google images, providing a wealth of information to SEO experts and content creators. 

This makes it possible to optimize visual content for search engines faster.

The importance of entity collection in SEO images

Overall, an entity extraction tool for images is a valuable asset for any SEO expert who wants to improve their search engine rankings and optimize their visual content. 

Thanks to its features and time-saving capabilities, this tool is a must-have for any serious content creator who wants to stay ahead of the competition.

Keep in mind that for certain niches, optimized images and visual carousels are a must to rank as high as possible.

Moreover, this is a SEO field known for being often neglected, due to lack of time and resources.

So, in many cases a virgin field that we can exploit in our favor.

What do you need to extract entities from a query?

Actually, all you will need are 3 things:

  1. A seed keyword such as: oil fryers.
  2. Your OpenAI API KEY
  3. Your SERP API

And of course, install the Google Colab dependencies in order to run the script properly.

If you just got lost with these instructions, don’t worry.

We’ve got you covered.

Our colleague Luis Fernandez has prepared a video in which he explains step by step how our Colab works and the ins and outs behind it.

You can watch it right below:

As you can see, it is very simple. 

Take into account that this video is part of a series dedicated to artificial intelligence, programming and digital marketing that we have made in iSocialweb to boost productivity and automate SEO.

Now let’s see how it all works.

How does the entity classifier extractor for Google images work?

Our entity extractor for Google Images is a simple script of less than 50 lines of code that allows you to work with entities based on the images indexed by Google.

The script uses an API called “SERP API” together with the OpenAI API.

Both, used together, allow extracting and classify entities. 

SERP API is in charge of extracting the information from Google, while OpenAI, using GPT artificial intelligence, will be in charge of classifying and grouping the extracted entities.

In addition, the script installs the necessary dependencies to access Google search results:

  • !pip install google-search-results
  • !pip install google-api-python-client

An alternative to SERP API is to use Web Scraping, but it requires managing Proxies, paying attention to changes and self-programming.

We mention this because it can be somewhat cheaper to use Web Scraping techniques, if you know what you are doing and if we are talking about thousands of words.

In any case, once the APIs have been entered into the Colab, we only need to enter the keyword for which we want to obtain the related entities that Google already provides.

Right after that, our Colab will take these entities and sort them by GPT, in bulk.

The output format will show the entity name, followed by the group name, with multiple entities belonging to the same group listed in the same row.

Something similar to this:

The table is very useful for quick filtering, but human review is necessary.

If you don’t like the format of the table you get, you can always use ChatGPT to generate a table in Markdown.

To do so, just copy and paste the prompt used by the Colab. Here you can see the text of the prompt we used:

 				 					'Given the following entities about ' + keyword + ' : ' + str(entities_images) + ' Classify them by grouping them with their corresponding name depending on the type of entity. If there is no clear classification, use "No classification". Return the result in table format with two columns: entity name | group.' 				 			

Add the extracted entities from the Colab to the prompt until it looks something like this:

 				 					Given the following entities about oil fryers: ['industrial', 'water', 'gas', 'double', 'fries', 'electric', '1 litre', 'air', 'kitchen', 'lively', 'large', 'sankey', 'professional', 'recco', 'morley', 'premium', 'restaurant', 'semi', 'media markt', 'air fryer', 'oil-less fryer', 'industrial fryer', 'movilfrit fryer', 'cecotec fryer', 'electric fryers', 'air fryer', 'best fryers'].  Classify them by grouping them with their corresponding name depending on the type of entity. If there is no clear classification, use "No classification". Return the result in table format with two columns: entity name | group.   				 			

ChatGPT will return something similar to this:

This is an unnecessary post, but we recommend it if you are managing several hundred words and need to have the entities sorted in a much more orderly and visual format.

This way, you will be able to analyze at a glance the summary table with all the entities classified by groups.

And take them to Excel if necessary for analysis.

Benefits of using an entity extractor for images

One of the main advantages of using an entity extractor for Google images is its ability to automatically collect and classify the relevant terms or words that search engines associate with certain content.

In other words, they provide us with a summarized list of the entities related to a given search and which must appear in the content in some way or another.

Therefore, using these entities increases the chances of appearing in the first positions of the search results.
