How do you get this?

Hi Mozzers!
What is the process for getting this Wikipedia Branded name appearing next to your organic results (image)?
Thanks mozzers!

It isn't he exact same thing, so no, that particular knowledge graph doesn't show up because of rich snippets. I was just offering an alternative.

Thanks... I stand corrected

No. See my answer below.

Thanks Amelia for your answer (and the link), but - unfortunately - it is not the correct one for obtaining that kind of "sitelink" that Taysir is talking about.
In fact, that cannot be either defined as a sitelink. It's just a link that opens a small Knowledge Graph pop-up with information about the site the search snippet is from.

No, you can't ask it from Webmaster Tools.
As I said in my first answer, it is something that Google itself decide.

Hi Keri
When you click on Moz (red box in attached image) it is linked to wikipedia. I don't think it has to do with site/folder name in places of URLs.

Hi Amelia,
Are you sure that particular knowledge graph feature shows up because of a breadcrumb rich snippet?
Thanks

Hi Gianluca,
So one of my clients has a wikipedia page and I am wondering where in GWT do you ask for this knowledge graph feature?
Thanks
-
I think there is a rich snippet for breadcrumbs that you can use to create something like this. - it's not exactly the same, but instead of the URL, Google will create links.
I had it for a while, until the powers that be within my organisation insisted that every page on my site needed an SSL certificate - then it all went
So, so long as your pages are not on https (e.g http) then breadcrumbs would work.
Some info from Google here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/185417?hl=en
Hope it helps!

That "moz" link opening a Wikipedia box with information is Knowledge Graph, it's presented since few months in the SERPs and just for broad queries (or brand searches), and you can control it only if you have a page about your brand in Wikipedia (or/and Freebase) itself and if Google considers you a node of the Knowledge Graph itself.
Apart that, you cannot do much more, as asking to have via GWT.

I don't believe this has anything to do with Wikipedia. Google has been, in some cases, showing site/folder names in place of URLs for a couple of years now. There's a post on it at http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-experiments-with-removing-urls.html from 2011.

How to get an Updated Logo in Search Results?
I'm having trouble getting a new logo in search results. My company, RealSelf, updated our logo over a year ago and both Google and Bing continue to show our old logo in image results. Worst of all, this means that when people look for our logo, they find the wrong one and include that in new, external content. Here's a list of what we've tried: We've modified all the logos on our site with the new one (not including a few PDF whitepapers from before the redesign Added schema.org logo and organization markup Featured a high resolution image on our "Logos" page (top result for "RealSelf logo") Verified wikipedia has the proper image Modified all social profile logos: Twitter, Facebook, G+, etc.. Begun outreach efforts to have high ranking image results update our logo I'm wondering if there are other ideas besides getting more creative/successful with our outreach tactics?

Getting Google Plus Page to Appear
I've recently been making changes and updates to my company's verified local Google + page--my question is when and/or how do I configure it to appear in the search results? When I type my business into Google (Exchange Capital Management), it's not even within the results displayed. The page isn't accessible unless someone were to Google "Exchange Capital Management Google Plus." As mentioned, the page has been verified, updated, and has about 8,000+ views. Any advice or feedback is appreciated! All best, Lauren McLaughlin

Getting citations from different cities for a travelling band
Hi mozzers! i play in a band that is based in Austin, TX but travels to all cities across texas. I've been told i need to have citations in place to help my organic rankings in the cities across Texas that i perform in. 1. What are the best ways to get citations to rank locally in each city for my band? i have a page set up on my website for each city that we perform in. Do i set up accounts on local business directories in each city that i perform in with a link to that city page on my site? I have performers that i hire in each city and can use their address for the local address on each business listing but my business phone number would be the same for all cities. I don't want this to look black hat to google by filling out business listings for many different cities with the same phone humber but my customers are in fact in all these major cities almost more than in my home town. 2. Since i can only fill out a google places page for my home city, what other ways can i get citations to help my organic rankings in all the cities that i perform in? Thanks in advance for everyone's input! Ron

Strategies for getting more listings on first of google
We have a client who is looking to increase the number of results on page 1 of google for their brand name to essentially force some historical negative comments off page 1 of google. I am thinking of things like a twitter page, Facebook page, YouTube page etc. plus optimising their site to try and get multiple pages on page 1. Does any one have experience of doing the same sort of thing?

How to get Social Mention from an Expert in A field you know nothing about?
I have read many posts on this. However, the one thing I find challenging is getting an expert to give me a social mention. In many cases they have shared something similar in the past, and in many cases they are too busy. IMO building relationships via forums is the easiest way to find experts who will mention my site. I can engage them in a thread, and eventually take it to a Personal Messages. After building a relationship I can ask for a link or a social mention or to guest post or something. I have attempted contacting many experts via Blogs, E-mail, Facebook, Google + etc. for many different sites, IMExperince most “Experts” (people with large followings) will not give a noob (new site w/no rankings or new user w/no following) the time of day, nor a social mention. I have read many posts on engaging experts: tag them; send them flowers; like every post; make great comments. My result… bruised lips (from kissing behinds). I work with an SEO company, and every new site we work on seems to require a unique strategy for ranking. When we work on building relationships in fields we know nothing about, the outcome is weak. Unless we use forums. What are some strategies that work for you? what approach do you take when you have to build a relationship with someone you cant give value to?

I need to get my hands on some already registered domains?!?
Hi Guys & Gals, There are a couple of already registered domains i'd like to get my hands on, but i'm coming up against a brick wall. I have already tried contacting the domain owners directly if there contact info is available through whois and tried using a domain brokerage service from the likes of SEDO to try and acquire the domain on my behalf...but they seem to only work they have solid whois contact info to use. My problem is that where do I turn now after the above routes failing? Are there any good domain brokerage services you are aware off or any other approach I could try to aquire such domains?? Thanks James
