How To Add Social Media Icons into your GMB Knowledge Panel (Google Listing)

You can't directly add your social media icons into the Google My Business Knowledge yourself. Google does this automatically, but you sometimes have to give the algorithm some help to connect them to your Google listing.

The first step is to add your social media accounts to your website. Linking out to your social profiles in a normal way is a good first step.

If you've already done that and your social media icons are not displaying on your GMB Knowledge Panel, then you can try adding some schema code to your site.

Here is are two sample codes below. This is call schema code and there is an example for a business (or organization), and an individual. All you have to do is replace the information where necessary. in the Name, Url, and SameAs fields

(Note that Youtube doesn't allow for the arrow shaped bracket character here in the description, so you will to change that character when adding the code to your site.)

You can check to make sure you have done it properly by going to:
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
and testing the code.

Also note that adding the schema code to your site does not change anything on the front end of the site. It is only for the search engines.

Additionally, not mentioned in the video, there is a better chance if the social media profiles are kept active.

For a business:

⮜script type="application/ld+json"⮞ {
"@context" : "http://schema.org",
"@type" : "Organization",
"name" : "Your Organization Name",
"url" : "http://www.your-site.com",
"sameAs" : [
"http://www.facebook.com/your-profile",
"http://www.facebook.com/your-profile",
"http://www.twitter.com/yourProfile"
]
} ⮜/script⮞

For an individual:

⮜script 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"
]
} ⮜/script⮞
