      I'm trying to get a company logo to show up next to the search results for a search on [company name] AND a separate author photo to show next to the About page of the author of the same site for a search on [author name]

      There is author markup on the company's "About" page and Google's structured data testing tool shows that that page is correctly configured to show the author pic.

      There is publisher markup on the home page and the tool shows that the page is correctly configured to show the company logo.

      However, no company logo shows up in the search results for the [company name] search--just an author pic next to the "about" page for the [author name] search.

      if I add author markup to the homepage in addition to the publisher markup, I get the author pic showing up for both [author name] and  [company name] searches.

      How is anyone making this work?  Thanks.

        Hi Chris,

        Google doesn't currently pull through rich snippets associated with the rel="publisher" markup. The rich snippet testing tool only shows how the result "may" appear. http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1708844

        Thanks,

        K

          • In Google SERPs some companies / government agencies have a Google-generated card for their organization and it references their Wikipedia page. It does not show for all companies /orgs that have a Wikipedia page. What is the criteria to have it shown?

          • In the Google search results, the company name (with the drop down arrow) next to the result URL is incorrect. The company being displayed here is a company we acquired many years back. How do I adjust/fix this?
