The guide to
Google+ for business
Getting started
Share your page.
Share your page with friends, family and current customers. Send them an email
with a link to your new page, and ask them to follow and +1 it.
Link to your page.
Post a link to your page everywhere you have a presence on the web. This might
include your website, blog or other social networks. You should also add a link
to your page in the footer of your emails—this is a super effective way of getting
followers.
Get the Google+ badge.
The Google+ badge connects your website and your Google+ page, making it easier
for customers to follow and +1 your business. After installing the badge on your
website people can add your page to their circles directly from your site. The badge
also helps Google consolidate +1’s from your site and your page. The more +1’s you
get the better! To get your badge all you have to do is add a snippet of code to your
website.
Now that your page is properly set up, it’s time to tell your followers and customers
about it. Individuals on Google+ must follow a Google+ page before a page can
add them to their circles. This means it’s super important to get as many people as
possible to follow your page. Once a person follows your page, you can add them to
your circles and push your posts to their stream for maximum visibility. Complete
these simple steps and you’ll have a following in no time:
Helpful Tip:
+1 helps people
discover relevant
content—a website,
a Google search
result, an ad, your
business—from the
people they already
know and trust. The
+1 button appears
on Google search,
websites and ads.
Adding the +1 button
to your website lets
users recommend
your content, knowing
that their friends and
contacts will see their
recommendation
when it’s most
relevant—in the
context of Google
search results.
