In case you haven’t heard, Google Plus Pages are here! If you’re ready for a quick how-to to get your page going, you’re on the right blog! Create your page at plus.google.com/pages/create. Please note: not everyone will be able to create a page yet, but soon everyone will be able to.
Your Plus Page will look much like a profile and have a lot of the same features. Make sure you add anyone who has added your brand to a circle to your Page’s circles. Remember, this is why we like Google+, you can share the right info with the right audience. You may wish to distinguish between potential clients, past clients, and your network of resources.
Follow the prompts from Google Plus “Get Started.” Fill in as much content as you can; think “keywords” while you type. To toggle between your personal and business pages, find the drop down menu below your name and profile picture. You can go back to “Get Started” to finish where you left off. Notice the useful Admin section where you can get codes, badges, and locate your URL.
Be sure to link your website and your Plus Page. You’ll be ready for the Direct Connect feature when it becomes available to general pages. And make sure you add useful links to your About page. You’ll find this under “Edit Profile” “Recommend Links.”
Add photos to the Scrapbook at the top; people are very visually inclined. If you are your brand, upload pics of yourself. You can even click and drag from an open folder elsewhere on your computer. (How cool is that?)
This is so new, I don’t have much else for you today, but add my page to your circle and stay tuned! And if you need help in writing your social media marketing plan for 2012 (or your general marketing plan) let me know. Call 715-584-6773.
While you're here (and we're talking about Google+) +1 this blog or the entire blog. Just click the +1 icon at the end of the post or on the icon to the right (below my pic). Thanks!
