Updating the Google Knowledge Graph....any hard answers on how to do this?
-
We are trying to update the Google Knowledge graph for one our clients. We would like to have company founding date, CEO's name and founder name in the knowledge graph. This information is already included in their wikipedia entry.
Where else can we make changes to update this knowledge graph? Is their structured data option for founding dates, CEO/founder names? Should we include this information in their Google+ profile? We are using the publisher tag. We are not sure how to update the freebase account.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a black box right now. The timing is unclear (it's usually not immediate for the information to go from Wikipedia to Freebase to Knowledge Graph), but a couple of notes:
(1) If you can, make a direct edit to Freebase. I'm not sure how/when the Wikipedia to Freebase transfer happens.
(2) Definitely get the information into another source, like Google+. Google seems to look for multiple sources, whenever possible.
Andrew Isidoro has some great posts on the subject (and he's one of the only people writing about it):

Hi
I wouldn't be surprised if it took some time before the knowledge graph is updated. Have you tried looking at http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/knowledge-graph-optimization?
Looking at http://schema.org/Organization it looks as if there is a couple of options for adding structured data about founding date and founder. Perhaps adding that + structured data about the CEO with attributes validating against http://schema.org/Person on the companys website can do the trick?
Best of luck!

Why rich snippets have disappeared in Google search results ?
Hello, Few weeks ago, we have implemented a snippets strategy in order to increase our ranking for our blog posts. That was successful and our results were showing up in Google. But today, every single snippet has disappeared. We go back to a simple search result, without snippets for us or for our competitors. It seems that Google has delete rich snippet for specific keywords because for the generic keywords (for exemple "inbound marketing definition" in our case), there is still a snippet result. Do you know if Google has changed snippets parameters for keywords with low search volume ? Thank you !

How Popular is Google Image Search?
Are there any stats on the volume of searches through Google's Image Search? My assumption is that more users are turning to image search to shop but I haven't found any supporting data. I know that click-throughs to site have fallen after Google's recent changes to the UI but still just interested in initial search volume.

I'm curious to get others thoughts on the following: The new keyword planner tool Will the new keyword planner tool be effective for SEO keyword research Are there other tools that you've used that have provided good keyword research data (and are they free or paid)

Deleting a duplicate google places listing
Hi i currently have duplicate Google places listings for a store. One of the Google Places listings is mine (which is correct) and the other is a listing which someone else put up (which is wrong). Which is currently sending customers to the wrong location. I tried to claim the listing by clicking: If you own this place, claim it and edit it directly Which takes me to this page: This Listing Is Unavailable You may only access listings that you own. If you created this listing with a different Google Account, please log in to that account and try again. If you've deleted this listing, you may create it again in Google Places. Is my own option at this stage to leave a comment with additional details use: IMAGE ATTACHED And select 'this is a duplicate listing'? I would imagine this would take sometime, and i need it changed as soon as possible. Any suggestions? screenshot_133.jpg
