Social Profile

Social profile markup for Google knowledge panels is deprecated. We now automatically discover social profiles to include in Google knowledge panels. If you’re verified as an official representative, you can suggest a change directly. Learn more at Update your Google knowledge panel.

Use markup on your official website to add your social profile information to a Google Knowledge panel. Knowledge panels prominently display your social profile information in some Google Search results.

Examples

Here's an example of a person’s social profile in JSON-LD:

{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Person", "name": "your name", "url": "http://www.your-site.com", "sameAs": [ "http://www.facebook.com/your-profile", "http://instagram.com/yourProfile", "http://www.linkedin.com/in/yourprofile", "http://plus.google.com/your_profile" ] }

Here's an example of visible links on structured data SPAN in Microdata:

<span itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization"> <link itemprop="url" href="http://www.your-company-site.com"> <a itemprop="sameAs" href="http://www.facebook.com/your-company">FB</a> <a itemprop="sameAs" href="http://www.twitter.com/YourCompany">Twitter</a> </span>

Guidelines

In addition to the general structured data guidelines, Social Profile markup should follow these guidelines:

• The social profiles in your markup must correspond to what users see on the same page.

Supported Social Profiles

Use structured data markup embedded in your public website to specify your preferred social profiles. You can specify these types of social profiles:

• Facebook

• Tumblr

You can specify other social profiles as well, but they aren't currently included in Google Search results.
