1. How To Use Google+ For Business, And
WHY!

2. Google+ has received a lot of mixed
reviews lately – but any social network
goes through a teething process. And
yes, Google+ is a social network, but is
it the social network that Google
planned it to be? Some experts say no,
and reveal how your business can
really make an impact on Google+.

3. The Social Network Vision

4. From the beginning Google+ launched
a massive campaign, and was
described as a threat to Facebook, or a
network that will rival Facebook and
perhaps even slow its growth.
Whether it was bloggers or Google
itself that perpetrated this idea, we’ll
never know. The point is, that Google+
was NEVER a threat to Facebook.

5. Those of us who have worked
extensively on Facebook, understand
that this eternal social network
machine has no real rivals. How can it?
Facebook is an island. Many have
copied it, many have tried to outdo it,
and they’ve all failed. So, you should
start seeing Google+ not as a weak
competitor, but as something on its
own.

6. How Google+ Can Impact Your
Business

7. Slowly but surely, experts are realizing
that Google+ has merit in other areas.
Areas that are highly beneficial to
companies looking for exposure, and
business presence on the internet.
There are numerous search benefits to
having a Google+ social account.
Google will index your plus account,
and rank it very well. This is page one
stuff, and enough to interest any savvy
social marketer.

8. Besides the search benefits, Google+ is
proving to be a great place to connect
with influencers online. Conversation
is far more vibrant on Google+, and
industry experts tend to share more
commentary there, than on platforms
like Facebook and LinkedIn. It’s
become something of a ‘niche’
paradise.

9. Then there are the wonderful project
management features that have been
built into Google+. With circles that
you can transform into mini client
bases, and hangouts that you can use
for conferencing – Google+ is more like
an all-in-one, online based social
network – where you can build long
term, repeat business from existing
clients.

10. Why Use Google+ At All?

11. Google+ improves your overall SEO,
and allows you to branch out, making
connections with influencers that you
can later transform into business
partnerships or social marketing
opportunities.

12. It’s also a unique way to create small
company related circles, so that you
can build up your connections within a
client’s company. This is very
advantageous to businesses that want
to retain long term clients.

13. Google+ business pages can be
instrumental to a well planned social
strategy. Put your business on the map
by getting your page started today.
With a fresh strategy for 2012, your
Google+ page will help you drive traffic
and support long term relationships.
You want to get in on that action early!

14. Add Google+ to your social strategy
now. Use it to increase your visibility,
authority and likeability on the
internet.
