Google has launched a new Google Search feature today for India, Its called People Cards, it is a feature of Google Search which allows you to manage search results for your name and highlight your website is any, your social media handles on your Virtual Visiting Card.
‘Add me to Search’ its that simple
Google has made it as simple as just searching for ‘add me to search’ to enhance your visibility on Google search. You just have to type ‘add me to search’ in Google Search on your mobile device ( Desktop browser support has not yet been added).
Next thing you will see is a for which will collect all the data that you want to be visible publicly in search results, this will consist of your website URL, your social media handles, email address and your phone number. Now you can just go ahead and click on save and Voila ! its done.
Google People Card use your Mobile Number to authenticate.
Google wants you to note that it may be a few days before your Virtual Visiting Card shows up on the Google Search.Each card will be authenticated by the user’s mobile phone number, on which Google sends a verification code to confirm that the number belongs to the said user. You can opt out of the People Cards experience anytime you wish to stop your information to be visible publicly on Google People Card. For now this is available only in English.
I think this is a great feature for millions of Freelancers, Social media influencers, the self employed, etc to project themselves online.
