Google is the most effective search engine for finding anything or anybody. But you already know that! For example, if you search for your name, it will really show you hundreds of results, among which it will be difficult to discover your name. As a result, Google introduced a new feature called People Card, which assists users in locating the specific individual that they are looking for. So, how can you get yours and search for yourself on Google?
We’ve compiled a mini-guide on how to add yourself on Google and create a People Card. Check out all the details below!
Create Your Own “People Card” on Google Search Easily
The Google People Card is comparable to a digital business card in that it displays fundamental information about you at the very top of Google search results. It gives you the option to include a brief biography, links to your social media pages, and, of course, a taste of your own work. Unfortunately, as of right now, this function is only accessible to users in the following countries: India, Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa.
If you follow these instructions, you’ll be able to make your own card and have it appear in the search results on Google with ease:
1. On your mobile device, launch the Google app, and then type “add me to search.”
2. The option to “Get started” may be found at the very top of the list of search results; to access this, click on it.
3. Next, it will require you to enter your basic information: Name, About, Education, Email, Location, Work, Website, and many others; be sure to fill these out accurately, as Google will show it on your card if you do it right.
4. You may also connect your social network handles to your card, including those for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and SoundCloud.
5. Once you have entered your email address + phone number, Google will tell you whether or not you would like to display this information on your “people card.”
6. After you have finished filling in all of the essential information, you may check the preview to see whether all of the information is presented correctly; your Google persons card will be live immediately and can be seen online if you google your name!
Find Out How to Get Rid of a People Card
If you do not intend to continue using your Google People Card and choose to get rid of it from search results, the following instructions will walk you through the process:
1. Launch Google Search and type “Edit my people card” into the search field (ensure that you are signed into the account associated with which you are using Google Search).
2. On the card, in the upper right-hand corner, locate the option to modify and then click on it.
3. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the edit area, and you will see an option to “Remove my search card from Google.”
4. After you have clicked on it, a confirmation pop-up will pop up, and then you can click on the Delete button; your card and all the information it contains will be deleted from Google Search in a couple of seconds!
If you are puzzled about how Google will be able to authenticate your claim on the People card, then you should know that Google utilizes signals from other users as well as its own algorithmic signals to validate the claims made by the user. Quite impressive!
