Simple google plus question
-
Hi,
My client
www.nlpca(dot)com
wants to know if we can just place the google plus button on their website or do we have to have a profile and such and share things regularly?
Thanks!
-
Go for the new business pages -
http://www.google.com/+/business/
Its well worth getting into using this and also think about the use of the button across the site to help with rankings as I expect them to become more and more important.
-
Why make a profile if you aren't going to use it? Having it on your site with nothing on it is worse then not having it at all?
-
I would suggest doing both.
That would be the equivalent to placing a "tweet" button on your website/blog and than not having a Twitter account to monitor the interaction.
I know it is one more social media account to manage, but approach it as another opportunity to interact and share with your audience!
-
Why not build engagement and recommend growing a profile?

Google+
Hello everyone, just a quick question about Google+; I had already a Google+ business page and I tried to link it with Google Places but instead of doing so, it created another page. So now I have two Google+ pages, one all set up with all the circles, images and everything else, plus another one (the new one) with nothing but the link to Google Places. Is there any chance to merge them both? Cheers

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!

Have anyone got experience with this problem, and have a solution for this?

Purchasing a Google Plus Profile
A client of mine has the opportunity to purchase a google plus profile from a now defunct competitor. Essentially the profile is in tens of thousands of circles, so it may be a decent idea just from a marketing standpoint. When it comes to SEO I am wondering about a few things Is this against Googles rules? Has there been any proof of authorship playing a role in SERP rankings? So if there was an article where the author was in 50 circles compared to the same article where the author was in 50,000 circles would it effect the rankings at all? Have there been any studies done that show that the +1 (from Google Plus users) effects SERP rankings? Sorry for all the questions, but this is an interesting opportunity. Thanks in advance!
