Module 5: Google+

How can Google+ help your business?

Google+ is a social network that builds off of your Google Account. If you have a Google Account, you can easily activate your Google+ account. Google + is different to the likes of Facebook and Twitter as you don’t rely on your imported contacts, instead Google+ focuses on connecting you with people and businesses who share your interests and passions. Google+ can be particularly beneficial for businesses like yours for a number of reasons.

Local Google listings connect to Google+ meaning your business will more likely be found when people in your locality search for the type of products/services you have to offer. It’s easy to connect with potential clients and influencers as it’s not as crowded as other social media networks, people on Google+ invest time in conversing with one another.

Google+ is also another great way to help boost your SEO and Google Hangouts On Air provides unlimited opportunities for businesses. Google Hangouts allows companies to easily arrange meetings/consultations and interviews, as well as featuring videos, client testimonials and podcasts. Hangouts are automatically recorded to your YouTube Channel, which is also owned by Google. This will also help increase your rankings in Google search results.
