> JSON-LD Social Network Profiles Example Code

Last updated July 3, 2025 by Patrick Coombe

This is a special type of JSON-LD defined by Google to enable social network icons in the Knowledge Graph.

Note: you can also find this JSON-LD type in the person and the organization type. As of 2025 I am seeing “social network profile” JSON-LD within the  profile page type as well.

Person

{
  "@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"
  ]
}

{
  "@context" : "https://schema.org",
  "@type" : "Organization",
  "name" : "Your Organization Name",
  "url" : "http://www.your-site.com",
  "sameAs" : [
    "http://www.facebook.com/your-profile",
    "http://www.twitter.com/yourProfile",
    "http://plus.google.com/your_profile"
  ]
}

Results

A search engine crawler will read the code. After a period of time, the search engine results page for users performing a “branded search” will yield the below information (see photo). It is important that this information generally presents only for users who are performing the search within your geographical area.
