Google is the most used search engine in the world that is the largest source of traffic for websites. When visitors search for your organization, you always want to provide the best possible information.

One of the best ways to drive traffic is 'Knowledge Panel'.

Through Knowledge Panel (KP) you can tell Google & people about your Social Media Platforms as well as your business name and links.

Here is, how you can add structured Markup Data and Social Media Profiles to your website's Google Profile.

Step 1:

Firstly Create Structured Markup Data.

<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",
"https://twitter.com/ yourProfile",
"http://instagram.com/yourProfile",
"http://plus.google.com/your_profile",
"https://www.instagram.com/your_profile"
]
}
</script>

Step 2:

Add the name of your organization to the "your name" section in the script.

Step 3:

Add your domain to the "URL" section in the code.

Step 4:

Add your social Parameters links to the "same as" section in the code.

Example:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context" : "http://schema.org",

"url" : "http://in.ontimeinfotech.com/",
"sameAs" : [
"https://www.facebook.com/ontimeinfotech",
"https://twitter.com/ontime_infotech",
"https://plus.google.com/+onTimeInfotech",
"https://www.instagram.com/ontimeinfotech/",
]
