The whole knowledge panel, parsed

The result.knowledgeGraph object is returned whenever Google renders a panel — brands, people, places, films, local businesses. Entity-type-specific fields (menus, trailers, stats cards, hotel options) appear when the panel shows them.

Knowledge panel scraping, answered

Why track your brand's knowledge panel?+

The panel is Google's public statement of how it understands your entity — and it feeds AI surfaces too. Wrong attributes, stale descriptions, missing profiles, or a competitor showing up in People Also Search For are all brand-signal problems you can only catch by sampling the rendered panel.

What is a KGMID and why does it matter?+

The Knowledge Graph Machine ID (e.g. /g/11kkx4tsy0) is Google's stable identifier for an entity. It's the join key for entity SEO: track it over time to detect entity merges, splits, or reassignments that silently change what your branded SERP shows.

Why not use Google's official Knowledge Graph Search API?+

The official kgsearch API returns a minimal schema.org stub (name, type, one-line description) from a lagging index. It has none of what the rendered panel shows: no attributes, no profiles, no ratings, no People Also Search For, no Things to Know. This endpoint returns the panel users actually see.

Does the knowledge graph cost extra?+

No — it's parsed from every base Google SERP call, alongside organic results and ads. If Google renders a panel for the query, you get it.

Which entity types are supported?+

Whatever Google panels: companies, people, films and TV (with ratings, trailer, streamingOptions), musicians (listenOn), local businesses (rating, contact, menu), hotels (hotelOptions), universities (notableAlumni), places (weather), sports teams (statsCard), and retail brands (trendingProducts). Type-specific fields appear only when the panel renders them.

How do I monitor competitor association over time?+

Sample your branded query daily and diff the peopleAlsoSearchFor array. When a competitor enters that list, Google has started associating your audiences — an early signal worth catching before it shows up in your funnel metrics.
