Google India introduced the people's card on Google Search. So, now instead of showing your business card just ask them to search you on Google. ...

I was able to successfully edit my card on a VPN but when I went back later, I couldn't.

I think Google will review your card then it will allow it on their search results... I've created this card way before Google released and I created it again.

No, I don't think it's like that. Mine is working completely fine.
And how did you created the card before Google released it?

The names are case sensitive and try to scroll a bit further. You might be appearing in the 'People' section.

Pretty cool, but not sure how useful it is for someone with a common name

Maybe, but for now there are not many people with the card.

Obviously, it can't completely replace the business card as of now. But has some advantages for sure.

Hi, thanks for this. Although my website shows up at the top (at least till this date) but having a card will be helpful as well.
I didn't know about this.
