What are the guidelines for my people card?

• The first basic guideline is that one can create only one card from one Google account. So, that there are not many fake people’s cards.
• The individual need to verify his/her phone number, (the number won’t be displayed publicly until you set it to.)
• All the information you put on your card should be legit. Google can remove your card from search if it finds out the information provided by you is fake. 
• You need to update your card frequently so that your card doesn’t get automatically removed from search by Google. 
• Only use a picture of yourself for your avatar. Do not use pictures of someone else or 3d/cartoon.
• Control your language (this is not Twitter or Reddit). Google won’t tolerate the use of abusive, humiliating, or insulting language. Your card may get removed if you use this type of language. Also do not use words that seem like you are promoting some stuff. Avoid words like “affordable,” “best,” “world-class,” “top-quality,” and similar. 

What problems are you likely to face with my people card?  

You won’t face many problems if you are a famous individual. Probably you won’t face any problems at all. Because the google search engine puts famous individuals on top or gives them the limelight. Problems will arrive if you are not famous and your name is also not something extra unique. Let’s say you share a name with a famous celebrity. If people try to search you on google it is obvious that the celebrities name is going to show up first. Also, sometimes it is hard to find people.

So be sure to create a good identical profile that is noticeable in an instant. Also only put real information on the card. One more thing you need to edit or update your people card from time to time. Because it is in the guidelines of Google. That it will stop showing your people card if there is no update or verification done in a long time. And google does not guarantee that your card will be displayed on the search. Usually, it shows up a couple of hours after creating a card. If it doesn’t show up then edit it in the best manner. If you want to increase your chances of getting on search then you should provide information as much as possible.      

My people cards are for

Google’s cards are for people such as business professionals, influencers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and job hunters. If you are not one of these you can still try creating your people card. But it is not guaranteed that it will actually show up on the search.

Alternatives of google people cards  

Let’s discuss some third-party apps that provide the same services as google’s my people cards with extra features. These apps are: 

Haystack

This alternative is superior to the google people card. The card receiver doesn’t need to install the haystack app to view your card. And even one doesn’t have to install the app for creating their virtual card. You have the option to build your card on their web too. Here is the link: https://thehaystackapp.com/ not only it is a card builder app but it is your digital marketer too. The haystack helps you in getting your reach to the websites, social media, and company links. The stand-out point of this service is that the app will show you how many people visited your web. How many times did they visit? There is also a feature of finding the company’s logo.

One more difference between these is that contact details shared by an individual are hidden. The email and phone numbers are not published publicly until the user wants to reveal them to the public. One can share their card as a snap photo or could use emails. If you share them through email and they will be directed to a webpage that has your card. (if they don’t use the app). Unlike the Google card, you don’t need to update the haystack card from time to time. It will update automatically. Haystack is also available (google people card is not) in countries like the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK 

Switchit 

Switchit is a mobile-based business card platform like google cards. Unlike the google people card here you are free to promote stuff. Switchit also has an option to share videos on a person’s card to help them market things. This app supports extra features too such as Microsoft Outlook, iCloud Calendar, and Google calendar. All these features help user to schedule meetings. Building your business card is also easy. And you can share your business card through your social media, emails, QR code, and SMS. one of its specials feature is a smart contact manager.

This feature is great for checking your reach as it saves the info (contact details) of those who see your people card. Because of the smart contact manager, you can call contacts that visited your card or even text them. You get all the features that you get in a system phone app. Like calling and texting, exporting contacts, editing current contacts, and adding new contacts. Also, the video that you can attach to your card can be of 90 seconds, enough time to promote something. There is also an OCR business card scanner and CRM integration in this app.  

Inigo

Don’t confuse inigo business cards with indigo Mastercard. The main difference between these cards and others is that one can personalize them for a single person’s requirements. You can create an inigo card on your android, apple, or using the website too. It supports all those platforms. Just like switchit, one can also you the inigo app as a contact manager. The Inigo app is also capable of tracking activity like the switchit app. You would be able to see who visited your profile or card. It does not support video including like the switchit but here you have the option of customizable templates.

That will help you create your card with ease. It also supports CRM integration. As it is a business card app there is also features of sales report and sales forecasting. You can get real-time reporting or reporting and statistics of any time period. Promotions are allowed on this app so you also get features that will help you with it. Like social media promotions, email marketing, lead capture, lead distribution, and lead management. The app is free to use but if you want the extra benefits. Then you can either pay $7 per month or $5.49. There is also this feature called “back office.” it’s the best feature that Inigo has according to me. This feature lets you create cards for all of your employees.

L-Card Pro

L card pro is an electronic business card. You can create amazing business cards with L cards pro as it has varieties of customization options in it. Also, you have the option to from many popular fonts, colors, and themes. You also have multiple formats that you can use to create your card.

About.me

The last one on the list is about.me card. As the name suggests it helps you create cards according to your profiles. So, it is not only a business card. In about.me cards at the front there is only a photo of yours. And at the back of the card, there is the rest of the information such as your name, email address, link to your about.me profile, and the QR code. The only drawback it has is it has a logo of the company on the card. About.me company’s logo (Moo logo). So, it may feel a little inferior to the other cards.

If you want to add more information to your card then you are free to customize it. You can add your contact number, a headline, or any particular information. If you want the hard copy of your digital card then you can pay $5.50 to them. And they will send you 50 cards without any cost ($5.50 are for shipping).
