If you search for something that brings up a Knowledge Graph box that is associated with your Google account, be it your biography information or maybe a company you represent, then Google will show you a box that lets you make changes. The box says “Is this info up-to-date?” It adds “only you can see this” and then explains, “As an official representative, you can suggest a change.” Then you have a “learn more” link that takes you to this help article and a “Suggest A Change” link that lets you make edits on the search results page.
Here is a screen shot:
When you click “edit,” you get this screen:
If you officially represent a topic that has a Knowledge Graph card in Google search results, you can request changes to that card. To be recognized by Google as an “official representative,” you need to be signed in as an owner of the topic’s official website, YouTube channel, or Google+ page.
How does Google know if you are associated to this information and are able to make a change? To be acknowledged by Google as an official representative for a topic, you need to meet these requirements:
- The Knowledge Graph card includes the topic’s official website, YouTube channel or Google+ page.
- You’re an owner of the online presence (the topic’s official website, YouTube channel or Google+ page) that appears in the card. In some cases, if you’re an owner of a topic’s online presence, you might also be an official representative for related topics, such as a parent company and its subsidiaries.
- You’re signed in to Google with the account you use as the owner of the topic’s online presence.
- Your Web & App Activity is turned on.
