Google Search already shows you information cards for celebrities, Internet-famous personalities, and other material things. You do not see cards for your best friend or YouTube creators that you like to follow. Google is looking to change this today with the introduction of 'People Cards' in India. This will give people looking to build an online presence to highlight their existence in Google Search.

What is the use of people card

Describing the People Cards, Google in its official blog post says - "It's like a virtual visiting card, where you can highlight your existing website or social profiles you want people to visit, plus other information about yourself that you want others to know." The card will display your name, location, profession, and social media links.

How to Create People Card for Google Search

1. In the Google Search bar on your Android phone, type in 'add me to search' or click here to see a search result that reads -- 'Add yourself to Google Search.' Click on the 'Get Started' button in this search result.

2. You will be taken to the 'Create your public card' page, where you have to enter all your details including your location, job details, website link, social media links, and more.

Note: This process is for the creation of individual people cards and businesses need to follow a different procedure to see their cards in search results.

3. Once you've entered all the details, click on the 'Preview' button at the bottom to see how your 'People Card' will appear in search results. If you're satisfied with the details, simply hit 'Save' and your information will start showing in Google Search within a few hours.
