Mastering the Google Knowledge Panel
For a minute, imagine that you are a cold prospect seeking the very services that you offer.
Let’s say you shortlisted two service providers, but one of them has a strong online presence with a neatly organized profile and featured snippets on Google, while the other has a negligible online presence.
Which service provider has impressed you more? Most probably, it’s the person with the magnetic aura on Google.
Well, you could emit that aura too.

Why You Need a Google Knowledge Panel
The Google Knowledge Panel is an information box on the right side of search results. It consolidates key critical details such as a short bio, photos, social media profiles, website links, and other relevant public information. Google pulls this data from trusted sources, offering a quick snapshot of your digital presence and boosting your authority online.
The Knowledge Panel stamps your authority and immediately builds your credibility.
