Promote your page offline.

In your store, on fliers, business cards, receipts, shopping bags and everywhere else

you do offline advertising for your business.

Follow other Google+ pages.

A Google+ page can add other pages to circles at anytime—no need for them to

add you first. Follow businesses that interest and inspire you and businesses with

similar customers to yours. The more you engage with these pages, re-sharing

and commenting on posts, the more visibility you will get in the streams of their

followers. After all, their followers could be your next customers.

Turn on social extensions.

If you use AdWords to promote your business, this an essential step. Social Extensions

combine +1’s from your ads, Google+ page, and site and increases the likelihood of

social annotations showing on your ads. Search ads with social annotations show a

5-10% increase in click-through rate (CTR). By adding the power of recommendations,

Google+ can improve the marketing you do with Google. To learn more about turning

on Social Extensions

Engage your following.

Share cool content regularly and show interest in and comment on your followers

posts. Commenting on others’ posts will make you visible to the people in their

circles, and visibility increases your chances of getting followed. For more tips on

engaging your following read the next section of this guide.
