Fix the evidence behind your Google Knowledge Panel
Short answer
Audit my entity →Correct the source evidence first. Confirm the entity match, align your official website and structured data, resolve conflicting public profiles, strengthen reliable corroboration, then use Google’s official feedback tools when available.
DIAGNOSIS WORKFLOW
What to check, in order
- Confirm the entity matchCheck whether the panel represents the correct person or organisation and whether similarly named entities are being merged.
- Establish one official sourceUse a clear canonical website with consistent names, biographies, roles and contact information.
- Align structured identity dataConnect Person or Organization markup to accurate profiles, works, employers, founders and other verifiable relationships.
- Resolve conflicting sourcesCorrect inconsistent dates, job titles, names, locations and entity relationships at their original source.
- Add independent corroborationPrioritise reliable, relevant sources that independently confirm important facts—not duplicated self-published claims.
- Submit feedback and monitorUse Google’s claim or feedback process when eligible, then recheck the same evidence after recrawling.
COMMON PROBLEMS
What the audit can diagnose

QUESTIONS
Google Knowledge Panel correction FAQ
How do I fix incorrect information on my Google Knowledge Panel?
Start by identifying the exact entity Google has matched, then compare the panel with the official website and reliable public sources. If the panel can be claimed, use Google's feedback tools to suggest corrections. KnowledgePanel.io audits identity, website, structured-data, source and relationship signals so you can see which evidence should be corrected first.
Can KnowledgePanel.io directly edit a Google Knowledge Panel?
No. Google controls Knowledge Panel eligibility and display. KnowledgePanel.io identifies conflicting or missing public entity signals, provides an ordered remediation plan and can support implementation on sources you control.
What causes a wrong or incomplete Knowledge Panel?
Common causes include ambiguous names, inconsistent biographies, weak links between a person and an organisation, conflicting structured data, an unclear official website, duplicate entity records and limited independent corroboration.
How long does a Knowledge Panel correction take?
There is no fixed timeline. Changes must first be published or corrected at their source, then recrawled and reassessed by Google. The audit provides a baseline so the same signals can be checked again over time.
