Can I legally say "People Google You" in a business card?
Does anyone know if I can legally say "People Google You" in a my business card? (I'm a freelance SEO consultant not affiliated with the Google corporation.) Or is that some kind of copyright infringement/tradmark infringement, etc?

Since "google" (lowercase) is an accepted verb by Merriam-Webster's dictionary, and you are using it just as you would any other word (not making it proper by capitalizing it); you should not run into any legal problems.So keep it lowercase; keep it as the verb in the sentence.

'google' in lowercase letters is accepted by the Merriam Webster dictionary to mean 'to search for' or something similar. Don't capitalize it and you'll be fine.
