Do I need a Google+ Page for My Business?

Whether you are a new business or you’ve been around for awhile, we’ll bet you’ve heard a lot about Google Plus pages for business even if you aren’t using one. If you’re wondering if you need a Google Plus page, the answer is yes! It is a must for any small business competing in today’s business world.

So many marketers create their Google Plus page as an after-thought. While your website is your primary source of online marketing, you should set up a Google Plus business page as soon as you set up your website.  Here a few reasons why.

First, a Google Plus page will increase not only the number of times your company name appears in search engine results, but it will bump you up in the rankings faster. When Google sees that you are registered with Google Plus as a legitimate, active business, it will find your website more easily and put your Google Plus page in Web, Map, and Shopping results. Second, a Google Plus page gives you and your customers a forum to communicate one on one. You can share promotions, links to relevant articles, business and personal updates of interest to your customers, and more. Your customers can comment on these posts, ask questions, and provide feedback that will help your business grow.  Once customers and colleagues begin noticing your Google Plus page, they can add you to their circles and follow you to be notified of every new post you create.  When you have a link to your Google Plus page on your website, you can display your logo, company contact information, link to your website, industry, and hours all in the profile photo at the top of the page. Because Google Plus business pages are completely separate from personal pages (unlike Facebook business pages), you can maintain a totally distinct and professional presence on your page. A well-maintained Google Plus page is sure to bring more people to your website, increasing leads and boosting your website’s ranking position in search engine results.
