Google Virtual Visiting Card – How To Create Your People Card
Google has launched a brand new search feature, Google Virtual Visiting Card, in India which allows users to create a virtual visiting card. With this new feature; influencers, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and everyone who wants to be easily discovered online create a virtual visiting card. The features People Cards can help users create a digital visiting card on Google Search. The users can highlight their existing website and/or social profiles and information that they would like others to know, Google Search Product Manager Lauren Clark said. The technology has been in testing for a couple of years.
“The new feature 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. Starting today, users across India can discover the People Cards on their mobile phones, in English,” she said.
When users search for someone’s name and a Card is available, they will see a module with the name, profession and location and then tap on the Card, she said. In case of people with the same name, multiple modules would be displayed by the Search. Unique information can help users distinguish between different individuals.
“The safeguards include mechanisms to protect against abusive or offensive content, and limiting the experience with only one People Card allowed per Google Account. For every new card, the user must authenticate the account with a unique mobile number,” she said.
