Google Knowledge graph card
-
Hi everyone,
I've got quite a lot of good reviews on Google My Business, but I don't know how to get these to appear on my Knowledge Card. Any ideas for importing these across?
I'd also like to include my social media tags in this card, but the HTML that I've tried to use has added the text to my homepage, whereas I wanted it invisible on the homepage but the social tags to show up in search.
Cheers!

No problem - best of luck with it all

Thanks, Sean. Appreciate the advice!

Hey again,
I would first and foremost check that the script tag is firing on the page/site using Google's structured data testing tool - https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool. Just put in the link of the page where the code snippet exists/fires and this should debug whether or not it has been put in correctly.
Google can be a little picky about branded KG results and it often only shows some of the bigger brands - I would say just be patient and check every now and again? In terms of reviews, if these are associated with your G+, they should appear when your business appears as a knowledge graph or local business result - again, be patient with this as it might take some time.
I would advise using GTM to implement these tags - it's a lot more flexible than amending core page code each time.
All the best,
Sean

Hi Sean,
Thanks for getting back to me and the really useful links! I tried implementing the script tag in html but nothing changed ...maybe the site hadn't been crawled again, but it's probably worth me trying Google Tag Manager.
The reviews are on G+ so, as a Google platform, they should theoretically just migrate over...but they don't. Will the schema.org/review html migrate over this content?
Thanks for your help - very grateful!
Cheers

Hi there!
Google My Business is a great start for getting branded/non branded visibility in search results. With this being said, if you're trying to create visibility for your social media tags by getting them to appear alongside your business knowledge listing, consider implementing 'Organization' mark-up on your website. The code for this can be outputted on the page in a script tag or added as Custom HTML in Google Tag Manager. Please find this below (switch out 'seans business' references for your own website):
Simo Ahava did a great post on this which you can find here - http://www.simoahava.com/analytics/enrich-serp-results-using-gtm/
In terms of reviews, these are often placed by users on the local business result itself or are picked up from external sources such as 'Yelp' or other 3rd parties like 'TrustPilot'. For hosted reviews on your own site, these can be marked up with 'Review' markup to help the process along. The breakdown of how to do this can be found here - https://schema.org/Review
I hope this helps,
Sean

Star rating not showing up in local pack, and knowledge panel pulling in healthgrades
Hello, I have a client that when you Google just their business name a couple of odd things are happening. First off, they show up in the map pack, but it's now showing their review rating. They have 29 reviews, with an average star rating of 4.6, but at first glance, it doesn't look like they have any reviews:

Is It Beneficial to 'Like' My Clients Google Reviews?
I have a client who is insisting that all of us in the office 'like' his positive reviews on Google. My boss & I are fine with doing this, but due to the industry the client works in, my staff is questioning doing this or not because they do not want to be associated with his company outside of work. Is there any SEO benefit to us liking his reviews or is this more for him to feel better that people are reading them? Does my staff have anything to worry about if they do 'like' his reviews?

(accounts and website all properly linked) etc When i go to GMB dashboard and click 'View on Search' it does show up as it should, but not when i go to do a google search for the brand name !? All Best Dan

Review stars dropped off in Google from Rich Snippets (started in October '17 - Jan '18 timeframe)
Our review stars from Rich Snippets are not showing up in Google for Novus products. I believe these are structured correctly or at least there are no errors. We have tried to troubleshoot on our own and asked multiple SEO'er's and partners, but have not had success. Turning to MOZ! They were there in September/October timeframe but dropped off in October to January timeframe. example URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=hif+1+alpha+antibody&oq=hif+1+alpha+antibod (It seems to be off all products); This started in October to January time frame so was before the latest algo update.

What do the symbols in the profile avatars in Google listing reviews mean?
A client of mine noticed that some of their customers that leave GMB listing reviews have special symbols in their profile avatars (please look at the attachment). Is this a sign of a influencer? Has anybody else noticed this? r6mhX

What types of businesses does Google display reviews in SERP for?
In just the last week, it seems like Google has removed reviews for businesses in our industry (staffing), which is unfortunate since we've been working hard for those reviews. The effect has been to be completely left off the local google business results. One week, we're at the top of the business reviews with our location prominently featured on the map and the next, we aren't even listed. It seems like there must be list of industries in which Google takes reviews into account (or if they do, then at least displays the reviews in the results). For us, up until last week, if you searched "temp agencies", these reviews were included in SERP. Now, nothing. Is this fairly normal behavior for Google?

Why does Google return 1 star reviews in local listings as the "most helpful"?
I have a client who has recently received two 1 star reviews on Google local (unhappy customer and unhappy customers boyfriend). This is affecting an otherwise flourishing business as these two 1 star reviews are displayed prominently when you search for the brand in Google. They have since received more positive reviews, however Google insists on displaying, what they term, the "most helpful" reviews first. Why are these 1 star reviews deemed "most helpful"? In all honesty, they aren't even really that helpful, with the latter verging on slanderous. We are in the process of reporting this one as it personally attacks a member of staff, however, whilst we tentatively wait weeks for a response, I wondered if anyone has any idea on how G decides which reviews are "most helpful"? When there is no option for other users to rate these reviews as helpful (such as on play store).
