Is it possible to get listed under the popular place list?

Hello All,

I have a question regarding the Search - the question is when i search "Paris Attraction" the black strip appears and it shows the particular place popular attractions. 

How to get listed in that? Is it possible? If google shows such result, then there is no use of the below links ranking, as every user will prefer to click in that image.?

    I have a question regarding the Search - the question is when i search "Paris Attraction" the black strip appears and it shows the particular place popular attractions. ;

    How to get listed in that? Is it possible? If google shows such result, then there is no use of the below links ranking, as every user will prefer to click in that image.
  • Ehtesham Shaikh: +Jayson Gopi Virgo ;Attractions are not owned by any individual person. So I think this results are based on the algorithm of Google.
    As far as your query is concern I never heard that someone made their company or business as an attraction place.  ;
  • Ashish Ahuja: gr8 question, I am interested in this too
  • Jayson Gopi Virgo: I agree with you +Ehtesham Shaikh ;that attractions are not owned for individual person, but what is the necessary for google to represent like this? They could just show the links! Is this because that user should not click to the links which are ranking. Google is forcing the user(us) to click and see only what they show...!!!
  • Ehtesham Shaikh: +Jayson Gopi Virgo ; I think you forgot the mission of Google. ;Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
  • Jayson Gopi Virgo: So +Ehtesham Shaikh ;make it simple and say that google mission is to kill SEO. As google introduced "Search, plus Your World" they are forcing user to click only what they show and even they acquire every details of us and show only as per our location, friend in our circle, what they bought, what they search or suggest and many more..
  • Ehtesham Shaikh: How you can say Google is forcing users, Google is displaying both the results it's up to users to select.
    Just wanted to ask did you stop doing SEO? If you didn't stop that means it is helping you right?
  • Jayson Gopi Virgo: +Ehtesham Shaikh ;  ;A good example is above question. Just think as a user you are new to place and you are searching in google with the keyword "USA Attraction" and such results are produced won't you first click on the image as this engross the user, then what is the use of the below link just to show some results in SERP page, to be precise 99% user will go for the image. I didnt stopped doing SEO but soon google will shut down SEO :D

    P.S : If possible please refer some blogs related to "SERP"
  • W.E. Jonk: These are points of interest. If you click on an item the right sidebar will be updated. The information in this knowledge panel comes from different sources. Normally I get a Wikipedia link or a link to a Google+ page.
