Google + box on the right hand side
-
When you search on a company name in Google often the URL of the specific company is shown as 1st organic search result.
Often one will also see a Google+ box on the right side when searching on a company name. This Google+ box includes a brand logo as well.
Our company has also a Google+ account for several months.
This page is also shown in the regular organic search results.
But when I search on my specific company name, I don’t see the Google+ box on the right side of the results. However, when I search on my company name including my location, Google does show our Company information in Google Maps style, and that does include our last Google+ update as well.
What do I need to do to show our Google+ information on the right side in the organic results when someone searches on our company name (without location), so our work and updates within Google+ are rewarded.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Dear Chris,
I understand your question and the answer is you have to add Schema code in your website, Add this scrip to ur website
<script< span="">type="application/ld+json"> { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Person", "name" : "your name", "url" : "http://www.your-site.com", "sameAs" : [ "http://www.facebook.com/your-profile", "http://instagram.com/yourProfile", "http://www.linkedin.com/in/yourprofile", "http://plus.google.com/your_profile"] }</script<>

Hi Onlinq,
In case it will help you in your study of this, common terminology for these types of results would be the 'knowledge graph' or 'knowledge panel'. Specifically what I believe you're searching for would commonly be referred to as the 'local knowledge graph for brand name search'. Confusing, huh? There are several different types of graphs/panels. No one is absolutely certain of the exact factors that trigger a knowledge graph for a branded search, but if your Google+ efforts are new, chances are, you need more time to build up your authority in a variety of ways.
This is a relevant thread in the Google And Your Business Forum:
Here's another:
To develop your authority as a local business, start with these 20 factors:
http://moz.com/blog/top-20-local-search-ranking-factors-an-illustrated-guide
Then study all of the top local ranking factors:
http://moz.com/local-search-ranking-factors
My sense is that the local knowledge graph for brand searches appears once Google deems that a business has enough online authority to merit one.

Hi Tom,
It's a bit like the author tag in the way Google doesn't always pick it up, its not solely down to +1's also how much you use and interact with your community and if your brand is strong enough.
Test your site on the rich snippets testing tool if it's working in there, its working on the technical side of things. Might be a case to look into brand building.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your reaction. Unfortunately, we already used _rel=publisher _on our website. Also, I see other companies with less +1's, that do have their Google + Brand page on the right side.
Anyone, any other ideas?
Tom

Hi there,
You may have heard of the tag rel=author well similar to that tag there is another called rel=publisher
what it does is links your Google + profile to your brand. There is no guarantee that the brand term will also link in the SERPs but if you regularly use your page and it has lots of +1's I'm sure it will have a much better chance. Technically as well you don't have to have the tag if you're Google page is verified but i don't see any harm in putting it in as it is an extra sign to Google that its your page etc.
This will only work on brand terms so I wouldn't feel you're loosing out a massive amount if ti doesn't work.
Hope that helps & Good Luck

When will all of Google Maps be the same again?
As many of you are aware that the pigeon update was only applied to the new Google maps resulting in very different search results for Google local business. When you search for a business on old Google maps then you get totally different results vs the new Google maps. Some businesses totally disappeared completely from the search results. I have done my research and found out that it's because the new Algo was only applied to the new maps. Also new algo does not apply to other countries. Well the reason I posted this topic is because I have noticed that all the new Google Business listings I am verifying for my clients are all being put under the old Google maps and not the new ones. They come up fine when searching from old maps but not the new ones. I understand Google has not rolled out the pigeon on all data centers but why? Will Google eventually roll out the update to old maps? Since Google is adding businesses to old google maps then what's the point of even adding new listings?

Paid Links - How does Google classify them?
Greetings All, I have a question regarding "Paid Links." My company creates custom websites for other small businesses across the country. We always have backlinks to our primary website from our "Dealer Sites." Would Google and other search engines consider links from our "dealer sites" to be "paid links?" Example:
Technical SEO | | CFSSEO
http://www.atlanticautoinc.com/ is the "dealer site." Would Google consider the links from Atlantic Auto to be a "paid link," and therefor have less of an impact for page rankings, due to it not being organic? Any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!0 -
Google is not respecting the meta title
We're experiencing a peculiar situation with Google not respecting our meta <title>.</p> <p>As you can see in the first image (search result), the title <a href="http://open.iebschool.com/profesores/startups/">for the page</a> is a part of the content. This is relatevely normal for the description, but we never heard of Google doing this before.</p> <p>In the code, the <title> and meta description are correctly implemented.</p> <blockquote style="background-color: #f7f7f7; padding-top: 5px; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 2px; padding-bottom: 5px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-y: auto; font-family: monospace; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> <p><meta name="description" content="Profesores, tutores, autores y docentes 2.0 de Open IEBS.

</hgroup> Note: we're correcting the code since this is quite messy, but it's the one we have now The point is that google has considered that this particular is more important than the title itself. This would make sense if we were looking for that name, but the search was simply "site:domain.com". Two things for which this is even more strange are the following: while all the /profesor/%category%/ has the same code, this only happens in some search results and not in all of them; why is it appearing in some pages, but respecting my title in others? the previous code is not the only one in the page, there are about 10 others and some are placed before and some are placed after; so, why this one and not the first or the last? What is more strange is why this article in particular and not any other of the 10 on the page since some of them are placed before and some of them are placed after. Provided this situation, we would like to know: is this a common situation? Is it happening to more people? why is it happening? Is it somehow related to , <hgroup>and ? why that piece of code and not any other article? and why is it only happening in some pages? more important, can it be corrected or can we take advantage of it somehow? Thank you in advance. Any light you can shed on this will be well received! AJ2CUSe.png?1?8232 </hgroup>0 -
Google Sitemap - How Long Does it Take Google To Index?
We have changed our sitemap about 1 month ago and Google is yet to index it. We have run a site: search and we still have many pages indexed but we are wondering how long does it take for google to index our sitemap? The last sitemap we put up had thousands of pages indexed within a fortnight, but for some reason this version is taking way longer. We are also confident that there are no errors in this version. Help!
