How do I win the Google knowledge panel?
-
Hi everyone, so my company has a knowledge panel that show up for some keywords. I use to be #1 on the map (for my favorite keyword) when Google was showing several listings. Now that it show only one, it's not me anymore and I wonder why.
So what are the SEO leverage I need to focus on to win this new google knowledge panel?
Thank you very much.

Hi James,
If Google is not showing a 3 pack for your most important term, but, rather, is treating it like a branded result with only one business in it, there's not a ton you can do about that. Is there any chance you're able to share the name of your company and term you're trying to rank for? If not, it's okay, but if you can, it will help the community target their suggestions to your specific case.

Right thank you very much every one Irefering to the local panel on the right side of the results. Sorry for the confusion, thanks a lot for your help.

Hey James!
Hopefully you can come back with some clarification of terminology so that our community can help you get to the root of th matter

Could you clarify if you mean the right-hand Knowledge Panel, top-left Knowledge Card (no attribution), or top-left Featured Snippets (with attribution). There are examples of all three here:

Is this an informational query, commercial, or brand?

Hi there
There are multiple ways, but I would focus primarily on:
-
Google & search engines use this to verify information
-
Make sure all NACPW is all up to date and categorized correctly
-
Schema implementation on site (review applicable types)
-
Google & search engines use these tags to find important information
-
Properly structure & format your pages / information
This should help you substantially appear for the right searches in the right areas. Start here. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Are we talking about the knowledge panel (to the right of search engine results) where wikipedia information shows or are we talking about local results listings (on the map) in the middle/top of actual search results?

Has anyone tried using AMP links in Google Business Listings?
We have a client with multiple locations, and Google Business listings for each location. We've also created AMP pages for each of those location landing pages, and they're ranking on page one of their main queries, just below the local pack. We're wondering if anyone has tried pointing a GMB website listing at an AMP page, or if there are considerations to keep in mind before testing it out. So far, we've discussed whether to use the AMP url (amp.domain.com) or the Google viewer url (google.com/amp/s/amp.domain.com), and potential concerns for desktop users.

[Local Search] Do you get penalized by using a Google Voice number for each seperate business location?
My client is expanding and opening up separate locations and I will be getting all their online business listings up and running. The client wants to use a single 1-888 number for all locations, however, it was my assumption that they would need a local number for each location to improve their ranking. Could I suggest using free Google voice numbers that get forwarded to their 1-888 number or will Google discredit us for this?

Bing "knowledge graph" for Doctors?
Hello Mozzers, Today I ran across a knowledge-graph-esque bar in Bing. My first thought was "how do I get in there?" I set to work trying to check out what competitors are in this bar for clients in other industries. These listings seem to be for doctors only. Here's what I found: These listings came up for: [city] doctor, [city] orthodontist, [city] pediatrician, [city] optometrist, etc. After I did this research I realized the listings were individuals and not businesses. I set my search to professional services focused on a single person, like attorneys or accountants. Still no dice. Has anyone seen or know what this is? Update: These profiles also appear on mobile search. Xsvqz

How do I treat multiple buildings on the same college campus on Google for local SEO?
Should I delete them? Simply give them a different address like "City, State, Zip"? I see the benefit of having key buildings on campus in Google Maps, but I don't want those to affect my accuracy score and, thus, my local rankings for SEO.

Google Local Business SEO
Under "http://moz.com/blog/everybody-needs-local-seo" Q) There is a paragraph saying "If your business has multiple locations, you should have a unique location landing page for each Google Plus Local listing." Does it mean that for each of my shop (location), i have to create an brand new google plus page for it? Q) There is a paragraph saying "you're dealing with a single location, then we're talking about your home page - but these elements should also be locally optimized on product and services pages. City and state in the title tag. City and state in H1 heading" For example, if my country is australia, i have to create a page within my website and the it is optimised to the keywords "Gold Coast | Australia" in my 'product and services page'?

How to track google business traffic as organic into google analytics?
Hi mozzers, After noticing that all Google business(known in the past as google places) traffic gets recorded into direct traffic I would like to get this into organic traffic instead. What is the best method to do so? I found this great post http://moz.com/blog/tracking-traffic-from-google-places-in-google-analytics by Rebecca Lehmann but was written in 2011. Are these method the only one available to track this traffic or is there a new method we could try that would track all this traffic into organic search? Thanks for letting me know!
