My business has recently started to see our listingselection appear in the knowledge graph in the new Google reviews from the Web section. We provide reviews for restaurants and have verified reviews for many thousands of restaurants. Does anyone know a method to track how many times our links appear in seeps? At the moment we are manually searching on restaurant names to see if we appear. I was hoping there be some search query or tool where we could see the listing that include our review link?

There isn't a very reliable method to track this since Google knowledge graph is changing so much. Google keeps tweaking and testing new layouts. They also keep changing which sources they display within the knowledge graph. You could scrape the serps but that is easier to say than actually do without eventually getting blocked by Google or having Google obfuscate the data you are trying to scrape.

What are you hoping to gain from this? How would this information help you improve your business?

Thanks. The purpose is really to understand our exposure in this part of the knowledge graph. If we have reviews for 5000 restaurants I'm keen to know if we appear for 5 of them, 500, or 5000. Right now I have no idea. I've seen us listed for 2 restaurants but short of searching manually I can't get an understanding of how our content is being rolled out.
