How do you get this?

Hi Mozzers!
What is the process for getting this Wikipedia Branded name appearing next to your organic results (image)?
Thanks mozzers!

It isn't he exact same thing, so no, that particular knowledge graph doesn't show up because of rich snippets. I was just offering an alternative.

Thanks... I stand corrected

No. See my answer below.

Thanks Amelia for your answer (and the link), but - unfortunately - it is not the correct one for obtaining that kind of "sitelink" that Taysir is talking about.
In fact, that cannot be either defined as a sitelink. It's just a link that opens a small Knowledge Graph pop-up with information about the site the search snippet is from.

No, you can't ask it from Webmaster Tools.
As I said in my first answer, it is something that Google itself decide.

Hi Keri
When you click on Moz (red box in attached image) it is linked to wikipedia. I don't think it has to do with site/folder name in places of URLs.

Hi Amelia,
Are you sure that particular knowledge graph feature shows up because of a breadcrumb rich snippet?
Thanks

Hi Gianluca,
So one of my clients has a wikipedia page and I am wondering where in GWT do you ask for this knowledge graph feature?
Thanks
-
I think there is a rich snippet for breadcrumbs that you can use to create something like this. - it's not exactly the same, but instead of the URL, Google will create links.
I had it for a while, until the powers that be within my organisation insisted that every page on my site needed an SSL certificate - then it all went
So, so long as your pages are not on https (e.g http) then breadcrumbs would work.
Some info from Google here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/185417?hl=en
Hope it helps!

That "moz" link opening a Wikipedia box with information is Knowledge Graph, it's presented since few months in the SERPs and just for broad queries (or brand searches), and you can control it only if you have a page about your brand in Wikipedia (or/and Freebase) itself and if Google considers you a node of the Knowledge Graph itself.
Apart that, you cannot do much more, as asking to have via GWT.

I don't believe this has anything to do with Wikipedia. Google has been, in some cases, showing site/folder names in place of URLs for a couple of years now. There's a post on it at http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-experiments-with-removing-urls.html from 2011.

Getting Google Plus Page to Appear
I've recently been making changes and updates to my company's verified local Google + page--my question is when and/or how do I configure it to appear in the search results? When I type my business into Google (Exchange Capital Management), it's not even within the results displayed. The page isn't accessible unless someone were to Google "Exchange Capital Management Google Plus." As mentioned, the page has been verified, updated, and has about 8,000+ views. Any advice or feedback is appreciated! All best, Lauren McLaughlin

Opinions For Getting Worthwhile Links For Longevity
Hi Everyone, I have just joined the Moz community and have been reading through a lot of content. I have a question and I would like to put it out to all of the professional digital marketers here to hear their take on it. Basically I work for a construction company that has developed a way to build extensions to houses which is environmentally friendly and cost effective. Obviously the house extensions market is pretty competitive and I need to work out how I can make headway into the market for the digital marketing side of things. The website is still under construction and I am having it built in order to will viewers to enter their contact details for more information as well as provide lots of useful content that show why the product will be more cost effective than say a standard timer frame constructed house extension. We are having some professional videos made as well so we can set up a YouTube channel and this will be clearly visible on the website as well. What I would like advice on is how would you start to build quality links to a site like this. We are not going for just local trade but more national (UK). The main thing is that we have longevity and I know it wont happen very quickly but I want to ensure that we do things the right way. Thanks Barry

What marketing/branding services can you recommend to get more awareness of my site?
I am a programmer, not a marketing or social media genius. It also takes A LOT of time to market your website properly. Are there services that people can recommend that can help get my site out there and known to people more. I am always working on the SEO part and that takes time to improve. Just looking for suggestions. Thank you!

Getting citations from different cities for a travelling band
Hi mozzers! i play in a band that is based in Austin, TX but travels to all cities across texas. I've been told i need to have citations in place to help my organic rankings in the cities across Texas that i perform in. 1. What are the best ways to get citations to rank locally in each city for my band? i have a page set up on my website for each city that we perform in. Do i set up accounts on local business directories in each city that i perform in with a link to that city page on my site? I have performers that i hire in each city and can use their address for the local address on each business listing but my business phone number would be the same for all cities. I don't want this to look black hat to google by filling out business listings for many different cities with the same phone humber but my customers are in fact in all these major cities almost more than in my home town. 2. Since i can only fill out a google places page for my home city, what other ways can i get citations to help my organic rankings in all the cities that i perform in? Thanks in advance for everyone's input! Ron

Can we use SEOMOZ to get insights/data on the members of a twitter list?
It would be so useful if we could get insights into the members of a twitter list in the same way we can get statistics on the people we search through the "search twitter bio" options (following/followers/RTs/Social Authority/etc). This is possible through the twitter api but it limits to 20 list member which is useless. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

Tips on building buzz and getting traffic for new sites
I have an idea for a new "socia"l website. No its not a facebook or anything like that, but I feel it fills a void in a particular niche. The problem I am having is figuring out a marketing plan to get people to sign up. When you're starting a new social website like this its kind of important for it too feel popular and you need users to make it feel popular and useful. Which kind of gets you into a chicken or the egg type scenario. There are a few keywords I intend on doing SEO for, but I don't think pure SEO will make this community popular. Some ideas I have: Creative "tell a friend" strategy that builds incentive to get friends signed up like win an ipad or something like that. I also want to make it easy to tell friends, so you can import contacts from facebook, twitter, and email contacts rather than typing in all those emails by hand. Targeting a few blogs related to this niche hoping that they will interview me about the website. Advertising on forums and blogs related to my niche. Making the site simple, visually appealing and intuitive so users can dive right in without thinking. Making a good enough product to where the site can get buzz on active subreddits and hackernews. I'm a software engineer by nature, so marketing isn't a strong suite of mine, but I'm no rookie to building popular websites either (just been a while). I'd like to get some ideas from the seomoz community on this. Thanks.

Best Way To Get Twitter Followers
What does the forum think the best way to get Twitter Followers is? I'm talking from the perspective from a fairly unknown brand where there's no obvious reason for someone to follow.
