Where the information comes from
Google's Knowledge Graph combines information about entities from many sources, including official websites, Wikipedia and Wikidata, licensed data, and structured data on web pages. When Google is confident enough about an entity and its attributes, it can show a panel. The facts shown depend on the entity type: a company might show its logo, founding date, founders, and official social profiles.
How to make a panel more likely
Describe your organisation consistently on your website, especially the homepage and About page. Add Organization structured data with your name, logo, URL, and sameAs links to official profiles. Keep profiles on LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and relevant directories consistent. Earn coverage in reputable publications. Wikipedia and Wikidata entries can feed the Knowledge Graph, but only notable entities qualify for Wikipedia, and creating promotional entries breaks its rules.
Claiming and updating a panel
If a panel exists for your organisation or yourself, search for it while signed in to a Google account, select the option to claim it, and verify through one of the official profiles Google lists, such as your website's Search Console property or a social account. Once verified, you can suggest changes to facts and the featured image. Google reviews suggestions and decides whether to apply them.
Knowledge panels and AI answers
A knowledge panel is a sign that Google understands an entity with confidence. The same consistency that produces a panel, clear and corroborated facts about who you are and what you do, also helps AI systems describe you accurately. For young companies without a panel, focus on that consistency first; a panel may follow as coverage grows. Our entity SEO guide covers the steps in more detail. SerionFlow is the wrong tool for claiming or editing a knowledge panel; that is done through Google's verification process.
