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.

Click here

to install the badge and learn more.

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.
