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.
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
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
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.
