Your name, location, and line of work will be displayed at the beginning of the module. Your full card will be visible to the searchers once they tap on the module.

It's important to note that Google cannot guarantee that your card will appear on Google Search. The more details you include on your card, the more likely it is to appear in Google Search results.
 
1. Open the Google Search app or go to google.com.

2. Search for yourself.
Other options include editing my people card or adding me to Google.

3. The option to add yourself to Google Search is located at the top of the search results. Click Get Started.

4. Complete the sections of your card with the information you want others to see. You must fill out these fields:
Summary
Profession

5. Select Preview from the list at the bottom.

6. Tap Submit once you're satisfied with your card.

The Google Search results for your card may not appear for several hours. You may need to add a distinguishing term to your profile if your name is similar to that of a well-known person. Other people's search queries will benefit from this term. "Deepika Padukone tutor" or "Deepika Padukone food blogger," for instance.
 

Rules for using your people card

When someone searches for your name on Google, make it easier for them to find you and tell you apart from the competition:

Specify only your own details: Google may remove your people card if you submit content that isn't about you and what you do. Check out the User Content Policy for more information on potential violations.

Create your people card with suggested values for fields like "hometown" or "profession:" You can insert your own free text if none of the suggestions apply. 

Update your knowledge: If your card hasn't been updated or verified in a while, Google may stop displaying it.

Google will ask you to change content if it finds that it might contravene its terms and conditions. Your card will have a message with instructions on how to edit the text or appeal the choice. Your access to this service may be restricted or terminated if you make repeated abuse attempts.

Rules for people cards' content

Your people card's information reads as follows:

It should accurately reflect who you are and what you do. The name that people would type into a search engine to find you should be used. Identify yourself in your profile picture if at all possible. Do not pretend or make any other attempt to deceive or mislead. Your business card shouldn't lead people to believe that you are someone else or that you are affiliated with an organization that you are not.

Should not include any forms of advertising or solicitation. Avoid using qualifiers like "best," "only," and "cheapest."

Must not make negative, disparaging, or contrasting remarks about other people, groups, situations, or problems. Employers and other groups to which you have belonged are included in this. Beyond your affiliation, don't describe them.

Must not in any way encourage, support, or incite hatred, violence, or illegal behaviour. It shouldn't use vulgar, obscene, or other improper language. It shouldn't encourage or incite unlawful behaviour.

Must respect other people's rights, including their property and privacy rights. Uploading content that you do not have the right to use is especially prohibited.

Google uses algorithmic signals and user input to identify potentially false or otherwise inappropriate content. Your card may be temporarily or permanently disabled at any time, subject to review.
