When fans Google your name, what shows up first? If you’re an artist, your Google Knowledge Panel—also known as your Google Artist Page—is prime digital real estate. Claiming it gives you more control over your online identity and boosts your credibility across the web.

Step 1: Understand the Knowledge Panel

A Google Knowledge Panel is the information box that appears on the right side of search results when someone searches your name. For artists, it can include:

• Photos and bio
• Official website and social links
• Streaming platform profiles
• Upcoming events or releases
• Music videos and songs

Step 2: Make Sure You Exist in Google’s System

To trigger a Knowledge Panel, you need to have:

• Released music under your artist name
• A presence on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music
• Your name mentioned across reputable sites
• Social profiles linked to your artist name

Google pulls data from a variety of trusted sources—so make sure you’re visible across the web.

Step 3: Claim Your Panel

Once your Knowledge Panel appears in search results, scroll to the bottom of it and click “Claim this knowledge panel.” You’ll need to sign in with a verified account that is tied to your identity as an artist—this might include your official website, YouTube account, or social media.

Step 4: Keep It Updated

Once verified, you can suggest changes to your profile like:

• Adding updated photos
• Changing your bio or genre
• Linking to new platforms or press

Google doesn’t guarantee immediate changes, but consistent activity and trusted links help improve accuracy over time.

Final Thought:
Your Knowledge Panel is often your first impression online. Claim it, shape it, and let it reflect your artistry.

"Control your narrative—or someone else will."
