Great point. I thought about that too.

But I wanted to give the card a very minimalist design with the Google
search being the ONLY call to action.

My social media accounts (including Facebook and Twitter) are featured
prominently at http://www.brianwong.com which is the first result on Google.

I had to add a phone number on the card because that is not found
online.

I will post the final name card design when its printed to see what I
decide on in the end. :)

Thanks for the input!

That's great, however, you only include a phone number and not a Twitter ID or LinkedIn or just a plain url at the least. I do get what you are trying to say that you are at the top of Google, but you are asking your customer to take an extra step and that is search for you. Make it easy for them. <br><br>Good Luck!

Hey Brian

From a ratio/aethetics point of voice I would make “Google” and the buttons smaller and the “search engine & social media specialist” part either larger or clearer.

The question is what is on the BACK of the card?
