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

Google Cache issue
Hi, We’ve got a really specific issue – we have an SEO team in-house, and have had numerous agencies look at this – but no one can get to the bottom of this. We’re a UK travel company with a number of great positions on the search engines – our brand is www.jet2holidays.com. If you try ‘Majorca holidays’, ‘tenerife holidays’, ‘gran canaria holidays’ etc you’ll see us in the top few positions on Google when searching from the UK. However, none of our destination pages (and it’s only the destination pages), show a ‘cached’ option next to them. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=majorca+holidays&oq=majorca+holidays&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3.2151j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 This isn’t affecting our rankings, but we’re fairly certain it is affecting our ability to be included in the Featured Snippets. Checked and there aren’t any noarchive tags on the pages, example: https://www.jet2holidays.com/destinations/balearics/majorca Anyone have any ideas?

Google serp pagination issue
We are a local real estate company and have landing pages for different communities and cities around our area that display the most recent listings. For example: www.mysite.com/wa/tumwater is our landing page for the city of Tumwater homes for sale. Google has indexed most of our landing pages, but for whatever reason they are displaying either page 2, 3, 4 etc... instead of page 1. Our Roy, WA landing page is another example. www.mysite.com/wa/roy has recently been showing up on page 1 of Google for "Roy WA homes for sale", but now we are much further down and www.mysite.com/wa/roy?start=80 (page 5) is the only page in the serps. (coincidentally we no longer have 5 pages worth of listings for this city, so this link now redirects to www.mysite.com/wa/roy.) We haven't made any major recent changes to the site. Any help would be much appreciated! *You can see what my site is in the attached image... I just don't want this post to show up when someone google's the actual name of the business 🙂 nTTrSMx.jpg C4mhfgh.jpg

Is the Google results serp broken?
Hi everyone! We've been trying to decipher how many of our pages are indexed by google at the moment. If we do the usual "site:https://www.hobbydb.com" search term, the serp says that we have more than 740,000 pages indexed. However, when I do a deep dive and click through to the last page of results, I can only get to page 54, and then there are no more results. This would mean that I only have 540 pages indexed, not 740,000. We have also done other queries for other sub-sections of our website, and the results also truncate at 50 pages. Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions are appreciated! Best, Alex

Pages to be indexed in Google
Hi, We have 70K posts in our site but Google has scanned 500K pages and these extra pages are category pages or User profile pages. Each category has a page and each user has a page. When we have 90K users so Google has indexed 90K pages of users alone. My question is. Should we leave it as they are or should we block them from being indexed? As we get unwanted landings to the pages and huge bounce rate. If we need to remove what needs to be done? Robots block or Noindex/Nofollow Regards

Google Webmasters Quality Issue Message
I am a consultant who works for a website www.skift.com. Today we received an automated message from Google Webmasters saying our site has quality issues. Since the message is very vague and obviously automated I was hoping to get some insight into whether this message is something to be very concerned about and what can be done to correct the issue.From reviewing the Webmasters Quality Guidelines, the site is not in violation of any of the guidelines. I am wondering if this message is generated as a results of licensing content from Newscred, as I have other clients who are licensing content from Newscred and getting the same message from Google Webmasters.Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Google does not show my website anymore
Hi All, We developed a new website for the domain: www.instral.com. Before we build the webste, the domain was indexed by google and was showed as first result on a search "Instral". Without a website! Only a super simple hostingprovider webpage. Now, with the new website, all the website pages are found in google from page 7... home page is not even in the results. When i search on "instral.com" in google, it will show my website on first result including homepage. Is there something wrong with the website or DNS settings? Or mabe some other webhosting setting... am i on a blacklist or something? Bing and Yahoo are showing better results (first page). I hope someone can help me out here...
