How i got myself a Google Knowledge Panel / Graph

Advertise on BHW
From my experience that knowledge graph is shown totally random for low authority persons, brands or businesses.

Hey Guys!
I wanted to share what I did step by step to get a Google Knowledge Panel in around 1 Month.
It was easier than I expected tbh but let's begin.

1. I had a Domain that already had a DA 20-60 (ahref 20 - MOZ 60). On this website i placed the Schema MetaData for my Name, Social Profiles, and anything relevant to the Knowledge Panel.
2. I created a Wikidata account. I edited some Posts (Filled in some Statistics or whatever) to get the "AutoApprove" Handle on there.
3. Then I created a Wikidata Page about myself also linking to the Social Media accounts and the Website
4. I went on expired domains and bought a domain that already was linked to another Knowledge Panel (Sort by Wikipedia Backlinks so you can find them easily) and linked from that Page to mine.

I talked to a guy who also tried this but because he did not have the AutoApprove Status on WikiData he lost his Wikidata Page and his Panel as well.

But the Panel that I got on Google did not Display anything (Socials / Pictures) it just said my Name.
I have a very Unique Name (Artist Name) so there is no competition on that Panel. If i were to type out my Full Name i do not think the Panel would show up.

So what I did to get Pictures in there is this:
- I had an Article about myself on a Trusted News Station and "Requested an edit" for the Panel.
I linked to the Article and the Picture they posted with it and they approved. They did not approve previous attempts of pictures from my website or Instagram etc.
Because the Article also linked to my Website there was proof for me to send to the Knowledge Panel Team to get my Domain and my Socials in there.

I did not yet get a description because most of them are from Wikipedia Articles or IMDB or something. But i heard that some of them are also from Facebook. I just have to try to send it in 100 times to get it approved.

So what I would recommend when you want to edit the Panel:
Get as much "Proof" as you can from Articles to Websites to Social Accounts and even Wikidata etc. They are 100% more likely to change something

Maybe I was just lucky but it worked for me really fast. At the Start, it disappeared sometimes but after filling out more and more info it stayed.

Let me know if you ever tried to get a Panel and what you struggled with or what you did differently

You're an absolute genius, thanks for the value king!

One quick question, I just got autoapproved on Wikipedia and Wikidata as well, now regarding the next step, how did you sort the expired domains by backlinks? I'm kind of clueless on that to be fair. Thanks in advance!

Sorry for double post, somehow can't edit the post. I also got a Knowledge Panel. Here are some things I would like to add:

- Try to make as many public social profiles as possible. For example from Crunchbase, Spotify, IMDB, etc. (depending on your job). If you are an entrepreneur, take a look at Crunchbase. In some cases they will also take the description from Crunchbase.

- Besides creating a Wikidata page, also create pages on other Wiki sites like Everipedia. You can simply buy such a page on Fiverr. I did this and it sticked and somehow Google consider this a reliable source and would accept changes (like the birthdate, place of birth, etc.) with Everipedia being the source.

- Create a brand profile on Google.
https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts
Update your brand account with as detailed information as you possibly can. This includes all social profiles, website URLs, biographies, and more.

- OP mentioned it already, if you have websites on your own, include the structured data. If you run on Wordpress and you use Yoast SEO, you can add your social profiles, description, etc. to your profile.

Otherwise, use a code like this and include it in the <head> section:

- Wait for a couple of days and your name should have a Google Knowledge Panel. If you can't find your name directly, try to search for "Your Name Entrepreneur" or "Your Name Musician". After this claim the KP and verify its you. After this you can add your picture, social profiles, birthdate, place of birth, etc.

When I type in my name in Google, website not finished yet, Google shows my brand name multiple times in the serp . Then when I click the three dots at the right Side, there is not a button with "claim your kp" what is wrong?
 
Cool guide! Did you try adding yourself to Crunchbase? Might help with the description.
 
If you've got a branded domain, try signing up for Google Merchant Center and G Ads using the same business/brand name. I've seen this trigger knowledge panels pretty quickly.
