Correct wrong facts in a knowledge panel

Correct wrong facts in a knowledge panel

Today's lesson: a knowledge panel — the fact box beside search results — sometimes shows an old logo, wrong founding year, or outdated address. You can push for fixes.

Picture a name tag with last year's job title still on it.

Your steps:
1. Find where Google got the fact. Often it's Wikipedia, your own About page, or a business listing.
2. Fix the fact at the source first — update your About page and any public profiles to the correct info.
3. If you've claimed the panel, use the "Suggest an edit" option and point to the corrected source.

Google trusts agreement across sources. One corrected page rarely wins, but several saying the same thing usually does.

Try this: read your panel and write down one fact that's wrong or stale. 🎓
