Frequently Asked Questions
Google Business Profile (formerly called Google My Business) and Knowledge Panel serve different purposes but are related.
The main differences between them are:
- Google Business Profile:
- GBP is a free listing specifically created for business owners to manage their online presence on Google Search and Google Maps.
- Business owners can claim or create their GBP listing that displays information such as business name, address, phone number, website, hours of operation, and customer reviews.
- GBP allows users to interact with their customers by responding to reviews, posting updates, and sharing photos.
- Knowledge Panel:
- A Knowledge Panel is an information box that appears on the right-hand side of Google search results when someone searches for a particular entity like a person, organization, or place.
- Knowledge Panels are generated automatically by Google’s algorithms based on the information available from authoritative sources across the web.
- Unlike GBP, Knowledge Panels are not limited to businesses. They can also include famous people, events, landmarks, and other notable entities.
- Individuals and businesses cannot directly create or edit a Knowledge Panel, but they can suggest edits or claim it if they have a verified Google account.
As for which is more important, it depends on your purpose:
- If you own a business and want greater control over your online presence, then Google Business Profile would be more important as it allows you to manage your listing directly.
- If you are an individual or entity whose information is notable and relevant to a broader audience, having a Knowledge Panel may be more important as it enhances your online credibility and visibility.
In summary, both GBP and Knowledge Panel serve different purposes but are valuable for increasing visibility and credibility on Google Search. Business owners should focus on claiming and optimizing their GBP listings, while notable individuals and entities should aim for visibility in a Knowledge Panel.
No, you don’t necessarily need to create a website to trigger a Knowledge Panel but we do advise it. Having a website can significantly improve your chances of getting one, as it helps establish your online presence and serves as a central entity home for Google to gather information. An entity home is a primary source of information about an individual, brand, or company where Google can find authoritative and accurate data.
If you decide to create a website to improve your chances of getting a Knowledge Panel, it can be hosted on any reliable web hosting service provider. Popular ones include Bluehost, SiteGround, and Wix. The key is to provide consistent information about the entity (yourself or your business) on the website and corroborate that information on various other authoritative sources across the web (e.g., Google My Business, Google Maps, social media profiles). Additionally, using schema markup on your website can help provide clear, machine-readable information to Google, further improving the chances of triggering a Knowledge Panel.
At Kalicube, we strongly advise having a website, and it is included in the 12-month plan. If you do not have a website yet, we can create one for you as part of our comprehensive package. At the end of your plan, we transfer ownership of the website and domain name to you.
While a website is not mandatory, we prioritise clients who have one (or agree to have one) as it fits our service offering. So, if you choose not to have a website, unfortunately we regrettably cannot proceed with your request to become a client.
We offer a One-off service for clients who have a competent team that understands Google’s Knowledge Graph and its management well, and is also able to implement the necessary changes. If you choose the One-off service, you can receive a comprehensive list of recommendations that will allow you and your team to save valuable time and do the implementation yourself without needing our ongoing support.
Alternatively, our 12-month plan offers a more comprehensive level of support. With this plan, we commit to guiding, educating, and providing ongoing support throughout the process. In this way, we work closely with you to ensure you have the support and expertise you need every step of the way.
Yes, we can offer a six-month contract for situations where a Knowledge Panel already exists and our task is mainly to correct and update it.
The majority of Knowledge Panels are not triggered by Wikipedia. Google used Wikipedia as a training set for a long time, and having a Wikipedia page increased the likelihood of getting a Knowledge Panel. However, today, Google considers information from various other sources across the web, including its Knowledge Graph.
While a Wikipedia page can still contribute positively to the chances of getting a Knowledge Panel due to Google’s trust in Wikipedia as a dominant knowledge source, it’s not an absolute requirement. Entities can get a Knowledge Panel even without a Wikipedia page by focusing on optimizing and showcasing their presence in other authoritative sources like Google My Business, Google Maps, Google Books, and by establishing a strong online presence across various platforms.
So, although a Wikipedia page can help, it is not a strict requirement to trigger a Knowledge Panel.
As a “Done for you” client, your involvement in the work process is kept to an absolute minimum, as the Kalicube team handles the majority of the tasks. However, the exact amount of work you are required to complete may vary depending on the services you request:

3 – Adding (any) changes to your About Page
Rest assured that when we talk about “Done for You” services, we mean it. We truly commit to providing you with comprehensive support, and anything we can do, we will do for you.
When we mention “risk-free from Google penalties,” he is referring to following best practices and guidelines laid out by Google to avoid actions that might result in penalties or negative impacts on your website’s search ranking. Google imposes penalties on websites that violate its Webmaster Guidelines, which can lead to a significant drop in search rankings or even removal from search results.
Being risk-free from Google penalties involves:
- Creating high-quality content that is valuable, relevant, and informative for users.
- Avoiding manipulative or deceptive SEO practices, like keyword stuffing, hidden text, and cloaking.
- Ensuring your website provides a good user experience, with a responsive design, fast loading speeds, and easy navigation.
- Building backlinks naturally and avoiding schemes designed to manipulate search rankings, like buying links or participating in link exchange networks.
- Regularly monitoring your website’s health and compliance with Google’s guidelines, using tools like Google Search Console or third-party SEO tools.
By adhering to Google’s guidelines and focusing on providing value to your users, you minimize the risk of penalties and protect your website’s search visibility and ranking?
Google doesn’t charge a fee, but it doesn’t automatically provide one for every person and every company.
You can also pay for a service to get and manage your Knowledge Panel, and a reputable, quality service will cost anything from $3000 to $18000 depending on the service provider and level of service.
At Kalicube, we strive to offer fair and competitive prices for our Done For You services without compromising on the quality and durability of our work.
Beware of cheaper services. As with all things Google-algorithm related, things that are fast, cheap and easy are Spam. They might work short term, but that will always be temporary since Google is constantly updating its algorithms to remove Spam. Further, Google penalises companies and websites that use Spam to abuse the system.
As with all things that are worth having, a Knowledge Panel is worth doing properly.
