If you do a search on [seo services india] you will see a knowledge panel show up for a "musical artist" named "SEO Services in India." The question is, is this a bug with Google misinterpreting entities or is this specific manipulation by an SEO as a form of new Google knowledge panel spam?

Do you think this was done intentionally to gain attention and manipulate Google's algorithms or do you think this was just some weird bug?
