Google People Cards in India Introduced to let individuals Create their Public Profile for Search Engine, The new Google People Cards feature that has been in testing in the country for a couple of years brings a virtual visiting cards-like experience to Google Search, where users can highlight their existing websites or social media profiles to detail their identity to the public.
It uses Google’s Knowledge Graph to display information provided by the users. Notably, you need to give your mobile number and require a Google Account to create your people card on Google Search. However, that is not the case with less famous people and to change that Google has created the ability for people to individually create their online presence with their own virtual visiting card, called People Cards.
