How to find out Someone's Infomation with Google

Google is one of the reliable ways to find people on the web, and it's also a free people search tool that works well, using only a limited amount of information, such as name, phone number, address, email, etc. Even a photo can be found in Google to find the person you're looking for.

Every resource listed on this page is free, check out best free people-search websites for more resources.

While using google to find people, first of all, don't log in to your Google account, keep it log out, so that the search results are the original and objective results from the search engine.

Google Phone Number

You can use Google to find phone numbers, including business and residential numbers, simply by:

Just enter the name of the person or business, phone number into Google , click Search, and see the search results.

You can also do reverse phone number lookup. If you know a phone number but not sure who it belongs to, use Google as a reverse number search tool to find out who owns the number.

Add Quotation Mark to Name and Search

Using quotation marks to search for specific phrases on Google can narrow down the search results.

For example, if you search the name Michael Smith, Google shows: About 718,000,000 results. However, if you search “Michael Smith“, the results show: About 7,850,000 results.

Although, this result is not ideal, but greatly narrows the scope.

While looking for Michael Smith without quotes, Google finds all results that contain both names. Using quotes is a search for a single item, which means Google will only show results with the name Michael next to Smith.

If you know someone's location, age, working place, or other info related to the person, you can try various combinations:

• "Michael Smith" New York
• "Michael Smith" doctor
• "Michael Smith" actor
• "Michael Smith" New york lawer
• "Michael Smith" New york prodessor 48
• ……..

Use Google Alerts to Track Someone's Activety Online

Google Alerts is a great place to track someone's activity. Enter the search term you want to remind your via email.

For example, there is a professor named John Smith who works at Peking University or has some kind of relationship with Peking University. So, if you want to know if this person has this information on the Internet in the future, you can use Google Alert to monitor it. If Google finds out that the name is related to Peking University, it will notify you by email.

Note: You can set the monitoring frequency, once a day, or once a week; information sources, automatic, blog, news, etc., countries and regions, and language options.
