class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">As you have already seen in the last popup screen that Google itself is saying \u201cIt will appear shortly.\u201d\u00a0 Which means that Google is not defining any estimated time for Public Card names to appear on search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">According to our research, earlier the names were being indexed by Google in a few hours or within 24hrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">But now it will currently take<strong> up to 48 hrs to one week<\/strong>

public card your name will be displayed on Google Search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">However, the more details you include, the better your chances of having it show up in the results when someone searches your name on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Most importantly make sure that your <strong>Web & App Activity <\/strong>is turned on and you are located in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">If your name hasn\u2019t been showing up for a while, you can try a few things. First, make sure you\u2019ve added enough information to your Public Card. The more details you include will be better. Also, check if there are any errors in the information you provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">If there are many people with a similar name, adding unique details like your profession or location can help distinguish your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Additionally, ensure that your privacy settings aren\u2019t too restrictive. If they are, Google might have difficulty displaying your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Remember, it might take some time for changes to reflect in search results. Stay patient, and with these steps, you should improve the chances of your name showing up on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px;text-transform:capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Privacy_Tips_You_Must_Know_Before_Adding_Your_Name_to_Google\"><\/span>Privacy Tips You Must Know Before Adding Your Name to Google<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px;text-transform:capitalize\">i) Be Mindful of Personal Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Only share necessary information on your People Card.
