      Hello everyone,

      I have a client that is a GmbH (private company), however, when a user does a branded search, in the title tag of the first result appears a AG (publicly traded company) instead of a GmbH. What is curious in this situation is that there is a maps entry and in this case it shows the GmbH but only after the user clicks through.

      Question:

      • Where is Google taking the AG from? (FYI AG isn't mentioned on the website, No odp tag, external links are also not influencing)

      Thank you for your answer

      Best Regards and a wonderful weekend

      Daniel Vareta

      • 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?
