Google launches ‘People Card’ in India: here’s how you can create your own virtual visiting card

People Card can be created by anyone after signing in to your Google account. It's worth mentioning that the process requires your phone number for verification. Proceed only if you're willing to share that.

How to create People Card on Google?

• Creating a People Card on Google is a very simple procedure. All you need to do is sign-in to your Google Account and search for "add me to Search". This will prompt the website to ask for your details with the option "Add yourself to Google Search."
• Tap that prompt to make a People Card by uploading your image, adding a bio, and links to social media profiles, among other details. After that, you'll be asked to provide your phone number that will be verified through a six-digit unique code to begin the process.
• You can choose whether to make your mobile number and email ID publicly available or not. Google may ask other details for verifications too. Once you're done with that your people card will be created, which will feature on top of the results.

"To make sure people find helpful and reliable information, Google has put together a variety of protections and controls to maintain the quality of information on the people card," per the company. These protections include allowing only one people card per Google account, a unique phone number for each account, an option to opt-out of the feature, and a feedback button.
