The average person isn’t going to google an individual to find their blogs or whatever. The first stop is figuring out their social media destinations. You would hardly expect to find really anything about a person on Google that isn’t a link to their socials. Or perhaps an article related to some crime.
I guess I'm not the average person but, sure I would. (Though I might look on LinkedIn first especially if I knew their employer.) A Google search would presumably return social media handles among other things.
