In the last few days I have been seeing an uprise in the so called 'Google Profiles'.

[x.com...]

When you click on a profile, you get the ability to follow the publisher and so on.

Ex: [profile.google.com...]

It doesn't seem to be available for me, however.

Does anyone know how to create a profile, or is it done by Google themselves by scraping sites' Markup info?

Search for 'Google Business Profiles'. They verify your identity when you fill out the forms. It does require a physical business address.

That's what I thought too, but isn't that for physical businesses only?
What I linked seemed to be something else, if I am correct

This worked for me anyway.

Sign in to Google then visit [profile.google.com ] and it redirected to my profile - including an edit button. Didn't know it existed before.

Ditto what NO5needInput said...

and are you talking this? Being able to set preferred sources for news/discover on your Google profile?

This is what I am getting when I go to profile.google.com, with no way to edit the info on there: [prnt.sc...]

And this is what I want to see/configure for my site: [profile.google.com...]

That google profile you linked to is for a physical business, a newspaper.

I've just found a newspaper that encourage its readers to follow it through "Google Discover".

Just googled "profile.google.com" and landed in WebmasterWorld... I've got the same question as 'jc': how do you create a Profile for Google Discover?

If I go to 'https://myaccount.google.com/personal-info', I do not find any section to create the Google Discover Profile.

This feature is not yet available in all countries.

It seems to be available in my country but apparently not for myself.

Also, apparently it's different from Google My Business from what I've seen.
