Competitors Showing in Branded Search w/in Google FR

[CSawatzky]

Hi All,

When searching for our brand in Google France, I noticed that some of our major competitors show up beneath our Knowledge Graph listing. My managers and I are wondering if this is something Google just does as associated search or if there's a way that we can work around it.

Thanks and please see attached image

Google just does this to help the users make an informed choice of what to use/click.

There isn't much you can do to prevent this either, I don't think they are even PPC links either so I don't even think you can pay your way out.

That's what I was thinking too, Dave. Thanks.
