How fast to post content to Google+
-
If an established publisher gets started on Google+, is it better to post one or two things a day like a real person would, or is it okay to do a "data dump" and post a ton of articles at once?
Does it matter if the account is a brand or personal page?
Thanks.

Good question, especially now that Google+ is so important for the Search Plus your World.
First of all, brand or personal page. If we are talking about a business company, then I suggest you to use both. Take SEOmoz as an example. If you analyze it, SEOmoz use its brand page (as in Facebook and Twitter) in order to officially communicate things and dialogue with its circle of friends. But SEOmoz employees (i.e.: Jennita, Joanna Lord, Casey, Rand...) use their own account to promote stuff by SEOmoz.
Ah... remember to link your site and profile both with the rel="author" and "rel="business" tags (links here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/config here and here.
If you are a freelance, like me... then you may try to start using your personal G+ profile (but create you "business" page anyway). Maybe in a second moment you can try to offer a more official presence to your business.
About how much content... I suggest you to not vomit content into your G+ pages. It's not the quantity of the things shared, but the quality... and the people you are able to engage into a discussion and into sharing your content that counts. I say this because these seems to be at the base of what we may call the "Google+ Edgerank".
And, finally, be active entering in dialogue with others and, if it is the case, citing your content if it is relevant to the discussion... remember, Google+ right now is composed mostly by a public like me and you, who sniff a spam attempt more fastly than any other in the world.
And, to conclude, my tip: be a curator. Don't share just content created by you, but also by others and cite the source. This way you may become considered as an authoritative source about your topic, you are noticed and circled by those ones you cite and may have new opportunity of outreach.

2013 - Google Places/Business to Google Plus Local
Hi, Much of the reading I've done has suggested that existing Google Places/Business Page (with "About" and "Photos" on top) will be automagically "upgraded" to Google Plus Local pages (with "About" and "Photos" and "Reviews" and all the other Google Plus items). However, is there a way to force an upgrade? I have a Google Places/Business Page and when I go to "manage page" it basically wants me to create a separate Google + Page for the Business. Is this the correct thing to do? Do I need to create a Google + Page for the company first, and then try to merge the Places listing with the new Google + Page for the business? Thank your for helping me clear this up!

Google+, Link from My Site to Author's Google+ Page or to Company Google+
Recently I verified authorship for my Website. So the image from my personal Google+ account appears in search results. My website has a Google+ social media button. Should the link point to my corporate Google+ account or to my personal Google+ account? What is more credible from Google's point of view? What are best practices for this issue? Look forward to hearing from the MOZ community. THANKS!!!

Content Marketing - what to post on their facebook page
Hello, I'm doing content marketing for an article that is helpful in our industry. When I'm building a relationship with a website, on Facebook I first like their page. Then, I'm liking and sharing a couple of recent posts that stand out and are related to our site. Should I read their recent blog posts and comment on their facebook page thanking them that what I read was helpful while posting a link to their blog post? Or should I post something else on their facebook page? Or should I not post on someone else's facebook page? Thanks.

Are there any proven SEO benefits of presence and popularity on Facebook, just as there is supposedly benefit from Google+?
How much does visibility on Facebook (or for that matter, Twitter) impact search engine results? I did see a post recently on SEOMoz recently related to that--- but do others have similar experience/ have data to show strong correlation between FB shares/ Likes and search engine results (on Google)? The second, FB-related question is: what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of Facebook for a B2B audience, particularly in a rather niche sector - let's say industrial products? Look forward to your views and answers! Thanks.

Google+ What account to use for business?
Ok, we have been pretty dismissive of Google+ but having read more and more about how it is now directly influencing search results (currently in the USA) we are going to suggest setting up accounts for business. The question is, which Google Account should be used for the business page? In the nice presentational video on Google+ the example business is a nice local bike shop, which is simple right? Just use the small business owners account. But what about larger clients? Who in the org should have the business page on their account? What if that individual leaves? Can the page be separated from that account? Should you use maybe a Google Apps for Business account? But the issue with that is you will obviously have no one in any circles to share that page with. It all seems to be too closely tied to the personal side of Google+ Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is it ok to have 'Authors' that write content for multiple sites even if in the same industry?
Hi all, I have a client that has 2 websites (different brands) in the same industry. I have encouraged them to become authors when writing content for each respective website and hook up their Google+ profile to the posts. Is this detrimental for SEO if they are writing for both sites? Or is it in fact a positive thing? Looking forward to your thoughts on this!! Thanks, Elias
