Hi Rebecca, Yes all pages of the footer, may help, though home page is the most important, additonally it needs to be considered as a useful link by Google, so each of the social media accounts need to be relevant to the business and used on a regualr basis, hard to say without me seeing the website, but there were a few updates since this video was made : try this as well ruclips.net/video/l9t-21U7Qd0/видео.html

@@rebeccasteele4272 Hi , yes that is definitely another additon to the fuel needed to force Google hand to show them.

Hi and thanks for your great question. I think the principle is recognising that the answer to that question remains with Google. What we are trying to do is increase the odds of asking Google to give our other social media accounts authority so they get listed in Google My Business. So it's possible this could happen without intervention from the code and footer, but less likely. Do you keep your social media accounts updated with your business info regularly?
@@ZanetDesign Thanks for the prompt response! I think the page is really just not reading the code and this is the part which I'm really not sure. I'm using WordPress and when I checked page source(logged in as an Admin account), it's showing that the code has been read but when checking page source as a non-admin (incognito mode), json code is not being read. Sorry, I quite don't get what you meant by updates for business info regularly with social medias. Do you mean if our social media accounts are already having parallel information with the ones from Google My Business? Say Facebook Page having the same details such as location, email, etc. with GMB?
Yes thats correct regarding the Social media information. You want your NAP to be consistent across the board.

When you request a url to get indexed would use google analytics? By the way this content is professional and your providing actual value, I can see your channel will be recognized as an authoritative channel in the near future.
Thanks Jalal for your support and encouragement. I hope others also see the value and subscribe when they find me too. To answer your question. I use the Google Search Console. I find if you submit your sitemap index and regularly update your website, you get indexed immediately after submitting a page for indexing a URL. In the video though it's indexing and waiting for a knowledge Panel update. But Google in the case of social media icons may be hesitant to add them straight away. So in the case of GMB it can take a lot longer to see submitted changes approved

hi abigail, sorry to hear that, sounds like I will need to do an updated video as it was a while ago I did this and Google look likes its suddenly changed a few things, does it give you any information?
I have a unique case.. I have multiple locations with knowledge panels and a Facebook page per location. Would it work if I add the schema to each location page with its corresponding Facebook page ? Note: I added the schema to each one a week ago. Still nothing
Also, each location page has a section where our social pages are linked to.. but on the footer it also shows our main “corporate” social pages. I’m unsure if Google may get confused with both of these different Facebook profiles
Hard to say as it's very dependable on a manual process through Google. Let me know on here how it goes as many of us will be interested in the outcome
UPATE: After about 45 days, no social profiles have been added. I added the schema code onto our location pages but still have not seen any profiles. Please let me know what I can do to have my social profiles on my Knowledge Panel Note - they were added to 51 location pages
Nice video, Thank you! if the website and google knowledge panel represents a person (not organization), then when using a Yoast SEO method, is it ok that we need to change from person to organization in order to see the list of all social profiles in the website and fill it in (when we choose a person we do not see those brackets in the website in the social section of yoast seo) ? Will any conflicts arise since the Knowledge Panel represents a Person?

@@ZanetDesign Thank you for your reply. I meant that if the website and google knowledge panel de facto represents a person is it ok in the Yoast plagin in the website choose organization instead of person just to have those social media brackets.
@@FF-fs9vg The social media will ideally get picked up if they are business accounts and look relevant to your business. But if they are personnel accounts then if its useful and relevant then it shouldn't be ruled out. its ok to do so but from the perspective of a customer it needs to make sense to do so
Awesome, Fantastic. Best and most detailed on GMB. Do you have a video on 5 star reviews? . I have a competitor that has hundreds of reviews every single one of them are 5.0. I find that hard to believe any insight?
Great video & extremely helpful :) Slowly going through your videos & really enjoy your calm & sensible presentation - as a local small business owner, over hype makes me run a mile ! Implementing your GMB tips & hints ...
Awesome news, thank you for the great feedback! if you want a Google My Business review let me know as im collecting them for my next audit video - see ruclips.net/video/H8anJ9IIacE/видео.html for the example and place to comment
It didnt work with me i copied the code from the website you link and it had errors plus i have rank math not yoast and i didnt know where to paste the code.
Generally where ever you can edit HTML is the place to add the code. If you search and find your theme on the web along with where to add html code it should provide a clear direction. But do have in mind that this code doesn't guarantee Google My Business will add the social media links, there are many factors to this that only Google can decide. All we are doing is increasing our chances as a strategy.
It's changed a few times since the video It was showing Instagram and RUclips at one point, but as mentioned, it's beyond our control what decision Google makes on it and it seems to change several times
It seems to fluctuate. When I pushed my RUclips channel heavily on GMB it picked it up for a few months, but that started impacting my local kewords, so I've recently held off promotion on GmB and now Google has removed my RUclips logo, so it's very temperamental and often changing. 6 months back I had Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and RUclips.
@@ZanetDesign how annoying! I followed your instructions and have added the script to my header (a Squarespace site). Its disheartening to read that you managed to get them added to your listing but they've now been removed. Google really is quite a frustrating system to work with.
Absolutely - it isn't a given, you are just constantly improving the odds of Google listing them - i had 3 went to 4 then to 3 I'm now currently only 2 social media links - yet all 5 are constantly updated - so weird
Love your stuff... Brilliantly "walked-thru" Quick query for ya....... My management team is always wanting to assign a dollar value to everything.... What would my cost savings be if I were to get this implemented on my own ?
Great question, try and interlink and crossing your social network platforms so Google discovers them eg get a tweet link from GMB or make Facebook refer to gmb post
Hi There and thanks for subscribing with my channel I think with that type of problem you will need to directly contact Google Try to contact Google support directly so a Google representative can review your number on your listing. When logged in to your Google My Business account click the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner and select Support. In the menu that appears there will be options to "Contact Us" - either email, chat, or phone. Used your preferred option to explain your problem. If you want to know how to avoid suspension in Google My Business, I have an excellent GMB video here: ruclips.net/video/kxqhZr8B0xc/видео.html
thanks for the feedback, and your right. since making that video I've tried scripting and editing. hopefully my recent videos are now more like an 8 minute version...I hope?
Hi! Thank you so much for the video. How long does it usually take for social profile to be visible on google after adding the code? Also can you help me as to why my Google my business is location specific, is it because of Shopify? Eg: if I type (name) it's not visible but if I type (name) mumbai it's visible.
The social profile is totally controlled by Google. What we are doing is increasing the likelihood. GMB is very much about local SEO services and business,
yes it's weird, i think Google have changed the algorithm since the video was made, but my RUclips was on there for a few months and then disappeared, could I be any more active on RUclips?
Reach a new audience and bring them into marketing funnel convert them into the potential customer all from your social media links on Google My business See the full article and live experiment on: zanet.co.uk/social-media-to-google-my-business/
Took a while but we got there again 4 social media profiles on my GMB knowledge panel (just made one quick change) Take a look search for "Zanet Design Ltd". Then if you want to automate social media THEN don't miss this: ruclips.net/video/BznBTrs6uTk/видео.html
Hi Scott, thanks for your fair question. Since the video I actually obtained 2 and lost 1, Mainly because my Instagram account wasn't kept updated. But as you would of seen if you watched my video in full, Google makes these changes. We have no control over what they decide, but we can improve the likelihood of being found and added. Does that make sense?
Hi Zanet, Thanks so much for your efforts, your videos are very helpful. I have tried updating my social media links through my yoast plug in(via elementor), but when I run my website link through the google schema mark up indicator, it shows no sign of the "sameas" social media links. Any advice would be much appreciated, Many thanks, Roda Clinics

But if they are personnel accounts then if its useful and relevant then it shouldn't be ruled out. its ok to do so but from the perspective of a customer it needs to make sense to do so
i appreciate your effort, many thanks
You are welcome Rama - it can be tricky but you increase the odds with this approach
I am trying to do this for my Wix site. Any help?
Found it!! I put the custom code with in Wix Dashboard settings! Thank you!
Cool thanks for sharing
Thanks Zane! Super helpful.
Thanks Tom
Glad it was helpful!
Any questions let me know
Awesome, Fantastic. Best and most detailed on GMB. Do you have a video on 5 star reviews? . I have a competitor that has hundreds of reviews every single one of them are 5.0. I find that hard to believe any insight?
Hi, glad you love my videos, have you seen my complete guide to getting more 5 star reviews ruclips.net/video/KGPnZ0P4k6E/видео.html

Awesome news, thank you for the great feedback!

Thanks great advice,your videos are great as always.
Always appreciate your comments on here T and H
It appears that GBP no longer shows "social icons"
This seems to be a very recent change.
Can you confirm?
Yes Google experiments constantly with different layouts, currently they are not being shown for the last few weeks
It didnt work with me i copied the code from the website you link and it had errors plus i have rank math not yoast and i didnt know where to paste the code.
Generally where ever you can edit HTML is the place to add the code.
If you search and find your theme on the web along with where to add html code it should provide a clear direction.
But do have in mind that this code doesn't guarantee Google My Business will add the social media links, there are many factors to this that only Google can decide. All we are doing is increasing our chances as a strategy.

when i searched your company still shows only facebook and linkedin, it didnt work yet?!
It's changed a few times since the video
It was showing Instagram and RUclips at one point, but as mentioned, it's beyond our control what decision Google makes on it and it seems to change several times
Almost a year have passed, but it is still only Facebook and Linked In on your GMB profile. No other social media profiles were added...
It seems to fluctuate. When I pushed my RUclips channel heavily on GMB it picked it up for a few months, but that started impacting my local kewords, so I've recently held off promotion on GmB and now Google has removed my RUclips logo, so it's very temperamental and often changing. 6 months back I had Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and RUclips.
@@ZanetDesign how annoying! I followed your instructions and have added the script to my header (a Squarespace site). Its disheartening to read that you managed to get them added to your listing but they've now been removed. Google really is quite a frustrating system to work with.
Absolutely - it isn't a given, you are just constantly improving the odds of Google listing them - i had 3 went to 4 then to 3 I'm now currently only 2 social media links - yet all 5 are constantly updated - so weird

Love your stuff...
Brilliantly "walked-thru"
Quick query for ya.......
My management team is always wanting to assign a dollar value to everything....
What would my cost savings be if I were to get this implemented on my own
?
hi Robt
when you say implemented, are you referring to social links or optimization of the knowledge panel in general?
what if dont have a website? how can i add my social profiles?
Great question, try and interlink and crossing your social network platforms so Google discovers them eg get a tweet link from GMB or make Facebook refer to gmb post
Sir I am india.. my business contact number always under review problem..can u solve it
Hi There and thanks for subscribing with my channel
I think with that type of problem you will need to directly contact Google
Try to contact Google support directly so a Google representative can review your number on your listing. When logged in to your Google My Business account click the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner and select Support. In the menu that appears there will be options to "Contact Us" - either email, chat, or phone. Used your preferred option to explain your problem.
If you want to know how to avoid suspension in Google My Business, I have an excellent GMB video here: ruclips.net/video/kxqhZr8B0xc/видео.html
Sir can have that code please
Just head over to zanet.co.uk/social-media-to-google-my-business/
Please make video on knowledge grpah how to make it seo freindly~
That's a great idea Sami
my facebook page has the identical name as google my business and it just wont show a profile, what am i doing so wrong?
Is it considered helpful for your audience, that's the question Google will ask when it discovers it
Does this work on Google sites ?
Not that I'm aware of, but let me know if you find a different way
Where can you copy the script from to paste it into my site?
Hi Gavid, thanks fr your question - The code is on here zanet.co.uk/social-media-to-google-my-business/
great info, just copy and pasted your code to test and it says parsing error
@@ZanetDesign just parsing error line 1:27
Man this guy just drags on for 20 minutes. This video could of easily been 8 minutes on how to add your social profiles.
thanks for the feedback, and your right. since making that video I've tried scripting and editing. hopefully my recent videos are now more like an 8 minute version...I hope?
Hi! Thank you so much for the video. How long does it usually take for social profile to be visible on google after adding the code?
Also can you help me as to why my Google my business is location specific, is it because of Shopify? Eg: if I type (name) it's not visible but if I type (name) mumbai it's visible.
The social profile is totally controlled by Google. What we are doing is increasing the likelihood. GMB is very much about local SEO services and business,
It might be worth checking out this ruclips.net/video/YRMox7CMHzQ/видео.html
@@ZanetDesign Thank you will do. ☺
Let me know if there is anything you would like me to cover in an up and coming video

Looks like it didn't work - those profiles are not on your Google listing over a year later. I wonder if Google only adds active profiles?
yes it's weird, i think Google have changed the algorithm since the video was made, but my RUclips was on there for a few months and then disappeared, could I be any more active on RUclips?
where is the code to copy?
Hi there
The code is on our website here: zanet.co.uk/social-media-to-google-my-business/

Great insight, thank you for sharing this hack.
Fantastic
I'm so glad you found it helpful
Just looked 7 months later and it still hasn't shown up on your google business page. Still the same as this video. What gives?
Hi Scott, thanks for your fair question.
Since the video I actually obtained 2 and lost 1, Mainly because my Instagram account wasn't kept updated. But as you would of seen if you watched my video in full, Google makes these changes. We have no control over what they decide, but we can improve the likelihood of being found and added. Does that make sense?
Just had RUclips added to it
Patience is always the Google way I guess
great info but soo long!
yes that was an early video of mine, have you seen my more recent ones? Are they an improvement?
You explained everything except the part of adding the code to the website lmao
Do you have wordpress?
It's like your dragging it , why don't you go straight to the point
yes this wasn't very well scripted, hopefully more of my recent videos are much improved?
Please upload Short information 😡
I've done some RUclips shorts, have you seen them?
Waaaaaay to long for no reason
hi Benn, yes you are right, I was learning how to produce videos, would you agree my recent videos are more succinct?
Hi Zanet,
Thanks so much for your efforts, your videos are very helpful. I have tried updating my social media links through my yoast plug in(via elementor), but when I run my website link through the google schema mark up indicator, it shows no sign of the "sameas" social media links.
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Many thanks,
Roda Clinics
Thanks Roda for your question. Are you able to edit the schema in elementor?
Can I talk to you on Facebook?
