4. Google+ Facts
• Google+ is a social network powered by the search engine giant Google
• In early November, Google+ finally rolled out business pages. Now the
platform not only enables companies to create pages, but also encourages
businesses to grow their following.
• Individuals can add a brand to a specific Google+ Circle, share a Google+
page with their network, +1 (or in other words, endorse) the updates a
company publishes, leave comments, upload photos, and tag the brand in
them
• Video chat is definitely the element that distinguishes Google+ from other
existing social network. The Hangouts feature enables companies to engage
with fans, and customers through video conference calls.

6. Create a Business Page
Visit http://plus.google.com/pages/create to create your Google+ Business Page
You‟ll be able to select from the following
options:
• Local Business or Place -
Hotels, restaurants, places, stores, servic
es ...
• Product or Brand -
Apparel, cars, electronics, financial
services ...

Companies, organizations, institutions, no
n-profits ...

another category.

7. Setting Up Your Business Profile
Enter your Country and phone number. If
you have a Google Places account already
set up (we did) Google will locate it for you.
If you link your Google Places account to
your Google+ Business page, by default
your "tagline" (the sentence below your page
name) will be your address.
You will then be directed to upload a profile
photo. This can be a bit frustrating as
Google wants to crop your logo. If you have
a wide logo (like we do) you may want to
consider using an favicon or icon.

8. Setting Up Your Business Profile
Google will now give you the opportunity to share by telling everyone in your
circles about your new business page. Your posts, comments and notifications
will be from this (new) page.
Invest some time into
optimizing your page and
sharing a few links to valuable
content before you start
promoting it to the masses.

17. Adding the +1 Button to Your Site
http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/
Websites using Google‟s +1 button get 3.5X the Google+ visits!
Improve click through rates - Adding +1 buttons to your pages is a
great way to help your content stand out in Google search. By giving
your visitors more chances to +1 your pages, your search result
could show up more often, helping users see when your pages are
most likely to be useful.
+1 buttons appear in Google‟s search results and can be embedded
on other websites as well. They are tied to a destination page
address, just like shares or tweets are.
