What Is a Knowledge Panel?
A knowledge panel is a rich information box displayed on the right side of Google's desktop search results (or at the top on mobile) for entity-based queries. It aggregates information about a business, person, place, or organization from multiple authoritative sources, including Google Business Profile, Wikipedia, and structured data from websites.
Why Knowledge Panels Matter
Knowledge panels establish entity authority and brand visibility in search. They display key business information (contact, hours, reviews) directly in search results. For brands, having a knowledge panel signals that Google recognizes you as a notable entity in your space.
How to Earn a Knowledge Panel
Establish your entity across authoritative sources: create a Google Business Profile, ensure consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across the web, earn a Wikipedia article if notable enough, implement Organization schema markup, and build authoritative mentions and citations.
