Google Virtual Visiting Cards:
Here's how it works
People
Cards is aimed at helping the millions of individuals, influencers,
entrepreneurs, prospective employees, self-employed people, freelancers, or
anyone else out there who wants to be discovered and help the world find them
Google has rolled out a new feature for India called People
Cards— a Google Search feature that lets users create a virtual visiting card,
highlight their existing website or social profiles.
People Cards is aimed at helping the millions of individuals,
influencers, entrepreneurs, prospective employees, self-employed people,
freelancers, or anyone else out there who wants to be discovered and help the
world find them. Users across India can discover the people cards on their
mobile phones, in English.
To ensure that reliable information is provided, Google has put
together a variety of protections and controls to maintain the quality of
information on people cards. The safeguards include mechanisms to protect
against abusive or offensive content.
Each user can create only one ‘People Card’, which will be
authenticated with the user’s mobile number. The user will have complete
control of the information to be included on the card and can opt-out of the
experience anytime, which will stop their details from appearing in search.
Besides, the feedback button can be used to identify and report low-quality
information or a card that they believe was created by an impersonator.
How
to create a People Card on Google card:
1.)Search for your
name, or “add me to Search” and tap the prompt that appears.
2.) You will be asked to
provide your phone number for verification purposes. Enter the six-digit code

include the image from their respective Google account, add a description of
themselves, links to their website or social profiles, and, if they want, even
a phone number or email address.

then choose to view your Search Card.
Once you click on View Search Card; all the details that
you filled earlier will be shown when someone searches your name on Google.
