Google+ is Google’s social media platform. If Google is important to your business and you don’t have a presence there yet, add it to your marketing plan as a high priority.
Why? Because having an active profile on Google+ can help you increase organic traffic, build your online network, build links for search engine optimisation and establish yourself as a content author in Google’s eyes.

This is just what I needed to read thanks Mel! 🙂 I have been struggling with the thought of starting a new Google Plus account for my business, as I already have a personal one, but I just need to bite the bullet!
Thanks Serena and yes, I think you just need to jump in and do. Google+ is too good an opportunity to miss out on!
I have to admit that Google+ hurts my head! I really want to embrace it but I just can’t get into it like facebook. Mel, do you think that once everyone gets on board and zillions of businesses have facebook pages that it will not be as effective as it’s said to be now. Please say yes so I can tell myself this is a great reason to ignore it! lol
Hi Tracey
Sorry to bear bad tidings but Google+ is hear to stay and if you care about getting traffic from Google, you need to care about Google+! Hopefully the steps in the infographic will help you with where to start and what to do when you’re ready to dive in 🙂
Thanks for the awesome infographic Mel, this will help in the future when I finally get around to setting up Google+. Another great social media tool to add to my list of things to learn.
