If you’ve ever searched your name on Google and wondered how some people get a clean profile box on the right side (with photo, bio, social links), that feature is called “Add Me to Search” or a Google People Card.
In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to create your own Google People Card and rank it properly so others can find you easily.
“Add Me to Search” is a feature by Google that allows individuals to create a virtual business card that appears in search results.
It includes:
Your name
Profession
Location
Profile photo
Website/social links
👉 It’s especially useful for:
Freelancers
Developers
Digital marketers
Students
Business owners
Before creating your Google People Card, make sure:
You have a Google account (Gmail)
You are using mobile browser (important)
You are located in a supported country (like India)
Go to:
👉 https://www.google.com
Type in search bar:
👉 “Add me to search”
You’ll see a box like:
👉 “Add yourself to Google Search”
Click on Get Started
Now enter your details carefully:

Profile photo (clear & professional)
Write a short bio like:

👉 Use keywords related to your work!
