You're in the right place if:
You want to take your Knowledge Panel skillset to expert level and handle different scenarios and issues, for example:
- You want to trigger one or more Knowledge Panels (for yourself, your company and perhaps your clients);
- You want to leverage a Knowledge Panel to control a HUGE chunk of real estate on a Brand SERP;
- You feel your entity *should* have a Knowledge Panel, but doesn't;
- Incorrect information in your Knowledge Panel;
- Not enough information in your Knowledge Panel;
- The Knowledge Panel exists but won't trigger on the Brand SERP;
- A Knowledge Panel keeps changing;
- A Knowledge Panel has mysteriously disappeared;
- A Google update has negatively affected a Knowledge Panel;
- You want to manage People Also Search For;
- You want to understand Vertical Knowledge Graphs;
- You want to understand the Google Knowledge Algorithms;
- YOU prefer learning through ACTIVE LISTENING
You are not in the right place if:
- You believe buying the course without taking action will get you a Knowledge Panel;
- You give up easily when something doesn’t work straight away;
- You're the type of person who wants everything to be easy;
- You skip the steps you don't feel like doing;
- You are impatient and think in days, rather than months;
- You think “Google will figure it out without my help”.
This is what a great Google Knowledge Panel Looks Like.
With this course, you can achieve something similar!
Above the fold, it covers 80% of the SERP real estate. Astonishing!
And you can’t opt-out. You don’t get to choose, Google will build a Knowledge Panel for you, your company, your client whether you want one or not.
Google will collect and choose the information for a summary of the entity in the form of a Knowledge Panel. And Google often gets information wrong. You need to take control.
You can help Google get it right by educating it like a child. Taking control by educating Google is easy to do. But it is a slow process, so your best chance is to start today.
Here's an Example of Google Getting it Wrong
Multiple Knowledge Panels
The problem Jason had was that Google had three kgmid and three distinct Knowledge Panels. Google thought that it had found three distinct people.
Google was confused and thought that the Jason Hennessey from jasonhennessey.com, the Jason Hennessey profile it has on
Google Books and Jason J. Hennessey found on Crunchbase were all different people.
Strength in numbers doesn’t apply when it comes to Knowledge Panels. A person with multiple Knowledge Panels is effectively competing against themselves for a place on the SERP, not to mention that the duplication means that Google is confused, doesn’t understand and cannot fully apply E-A-T signals (their “power” is divided between the three Entities !)
Lastly, managing three Knowledge Panels is hugely tricky and makes your Personal Brand SERP unpredictable: whoever is googling your name (an existing client, an investor, a potential client…) might see the “wrong” one.
Mission accomplished
The three previously vastly different Knowledge Panels now show identical data, which means that these three kgmid / Knowledge Panels have now been merged. Any updates made in one are also reflected in the other.
This incredibly powerful result was achieved using the strategies and techniques you’ll learn in this course.
And an Example of Triggering a Knowledge Panel (the non-geeky way)
G.Scott Graham (before)
G. Scott Graham has written several books that are available on Amazon and from other booksellers. He is a recognised author, and yet Google hasn’t given him a Knowledge Panel because it has doubts about who he is and what he does.
This is a good example of why Google doesn’t always show a Knowledge Panel even though one would imagine that to be an obvious thing for it to do.
But in In just four months after our consultation session, Scott was able to actually trigger his personal Knowledge Panel on his Brand SERP, claim it and add information to it.
G.Scott Graham (after)
A Solid, Informative and Accurate Knowledge Panel for G. Scott Graham
He has full control over an authoritative Data Source Google trusts that he uses to educate Google
He is recognised by Google and gets additional, prestigious real estate on his Brand SERP with an extended Knowledge Panel
His coaching website has gained traction, which can bring him more business
He uses his Brand SERP as his online business card to get more podcast appearances.
This incredibly powerful result was achieved using the simple strategies and techniques you’ll learn in this course.
And an Example of Rebuilding a Knowledge Panel after a Wikipedia (or Wikidata) deletion
The biggest single learning experience I had that enabled me to understand how to reliably build and manage Knowledge Panels WITHOUT WIKIPEDIA was the deletion of my Wikipedia page in 2020.
I rebuilt it better from scratch: bigger, richer and stronger.
The course will teach you to do all this. And much, MUCH more!
At Kalicube, we share a lot of insights, information and advice about Knowledge Panels.
We know that not everyone can allocate budget for our Done for You services and we believe in democratising Knowledge Panel management. So we created the simple three-step Kalicube Process that sets out the “recipe” (basic strategy) and we publish an enormous number of free support resources on kalicube.com and beyond: case studies, videos, FAQ, news, and our Facebook support group.
Everyone is welcome to use those resources to build, trigger, de-duplicate, repair, recover, enhance and otherwise make Knowledge Panels more representative and truthful about the entities they manage.
If you have visited those resources and even if not those that have been mentioned, that's great! You’re already trying to figure this out.
BUT this path can be tiring and lead you in different directions - eventually, you will feel overwhelmed and BURNED OUT.
This course is specifically designed to:
Take your skills to the next level
Ensure you use the correct strategies and techniques for every Entity type and Knowledge Panel vertical
Make sure you get all the vital details right (so the Knowledge Panel doesn’t collapse or disappear)
Make Knowledge Panel management an absolute breeze for you
Go beyond the Knowledge Panel and get right into Google’s “brain” (the Knowledge Vault), which is where the real power lies
Over 50% of the strategies, techniques and explanations in this course are unique. They are available LITERALLY nowhere else in the world. Most of what you’ll learn in this course was known only to Jason Barnard and the Kalicube Team… until today.
We have designed this course to guide you from the first step to the last, making the right decisions along the way and avoiding the (literally thousands) of pitfalls that can scupper your Knowledge Panel work from one day to the next.
The entire course is built on the foundation of the proven Kalicube Process for Knowledge Panel Management. We have triggered, corrected, recovered, repaired, enhanced or deduplicated well over a thousand Knowledge Panels with the Kalicube Process.
The course consists of 21 lessons and over 5 hours of video
Unlike many courses you’ll find online, not one minute of the lessons in the Kalicube Academy is ad-libbed.
We script every second of every lesson in the Academy to ensure that every sentence
provides a valuable insight and not one minute of your time is wasted.
Extremely high production values, focussed content, practical advice, amazing supporting visuals and
demonstrative screencasts make all the courses in the Kalicube Academy the “Hollywood production” of online courses :)

Who is this course for?
How long will it take me to complete this course?
How long will it take me to trigger or fix my Knowledge Panel?
How long will it take me to have a stable, information-rich Knowledge Panel on the Brand SERP?
I give up. This is way too much for me. Do you offer done for you services?
Google themselves say so 🙂
I have helped thousands of companies improve the Google results for their brand name. We can call that their “Google Business Card”. A great Brand SERP is one thing, but a Knowledge Panel truly gives our clients Google’s stamp of approval which helps them grow their business.
I started optimising brands and content for Google in 1998 - the year Google was incorporated. Google and I have grown and evolved side-by-side.
