Get a Google Knowledge Panel for your name.

That box about a person that appears beside or above Google's results when you search their name. This is a free, step-by-step way to get one for yourself. Do it by hand, or have an AI assistant do the technical parts for you.

What a knowledge panel is

It's the box Google shows next to search results for a known person: their name, photo, job, and links. Google builds it on its own, once it is sure who the person is. You can't buy one or ask for one. What you can do is give Google clear, matching facts about yourself until it has enough to show the box.

How you get one

Google has to be sure you are one real, specific person. You convince it by doing two things: put clear facts about yourself on a website you own, and use those same facts everywhere else Google looks, like your other profiles and public databases. When every source agrees, Google connects them and treats you as one known person. Once that happens, Google may start showing the panel.

Your website Your other pages and profiles Google sees one person

The six steps

Each one has a simple check. The kit explains every step and gives you the exact things to copy and paste.

Step 1

Write down your facts

List the true, checkable facts about you: your job, company, school, any press. Everything else will match this.

Step 2

Build a simple website about you

A page on your own domain (a web address you own, like yourname.com) with those facts, set up so Google can read them clearly.

Step 3

Tell Google to look

Add the site to Google Search Console, a free Google tool that tells Google about your site, and ask it to read the pages.

Step 4

Make your profiles match

Your LinkedIn and similar sites should show the same job, name and links. Collect any real press about you.

Step 5

Add yourself to Wikidata

Wikidata is a public facts database that Google reads. Only real, sourced facts go in.

Step 6

Get a second site to point at you

A page on another site you are part of, like your company's, that names you and links back. This one counts the most.

The easy way: let an AI do the technical parts

Some steps involve code and setup. You don't have to touch any of it. An AI coding tool can do those parts for you if you hand it this kit.

  1. Download the kit (the button is at the bottom of this page).

  2. Open an AI coding tool. Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor all work.A plain chat like Claude or ChatGPT can't build things for you, but it can walk you through each step.

  3. Give it the kit. Attach the files to your chat, or open the folder in the tool. The main file is called SKILL.md.

  4. Say: "Help me get a Google Knowledge Panel using this kit."

It does the technical work and tells you what it needs. You handle the parts only you can: approving your facts, buying a web address and hosting for your site, and clicking a few buttons on Google and Wikidata that need your own login.

Using Claude Code? Put the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ and it becomes a command you can run.

What to expect

It takes time

Google usually takes weeks to months after everything is live.

No guarantees

This makes you easy for Google to recognize. It can't force the result.

Be a little known first

If no real sites or press mention you, there is nothing for Google to build on yet.
