Different people are interested in different parts of your business. Whether it's breaking news, updates, promotions, links, photos - even talking face-to-face with groups via easy-to-use video chat - Google+ lets you easily share the right things with the right customers.

Help word get around. Put the +1 button anywhere you'd like people to be able to recommend your business, products or services to friends and contacts all across the web.

Social media can sometimes feel like a firehose of data. Google’s measurement tools will soon make it easier to understand Google+ activity: what people are saying about your business, how many +1's your business receives and how these affect your traffic.

To get started, sign in to your Google account (if you don’t have one – get one google.com/plus) Then, go to :

This Google+ badge is similar to the Facebook icon on websites that link to Facebook profile. To get the badge, go to Google+ badge page and insert the id of your newly created page. Google only allows an icon currently that will link to your Google+ business page, which you can select in three sizes. A widget similar to the "Facebook like box", also called Google+ badge is in queue and will be added soon. www.mygoldenrolodex.com

Placing the Google+ badge or icon on your site

Adding your website link to your page Actively use Google Hangouts (video chat

drop-in) Maintain a daily presence via Google+ Update and add to your Google Circles Upload YouTube videos and post the links on

your page and websites www.mygoldenrolodex.com

Move your Google+ Page fans directly into your Circles. (This seems to create automatic engagement!)

Make sure you have a Circle named "Following“

Make sure your site contains the "+1" button, as well as your badge or icon. (This will require a separate snippet of code to that of badges/icons.)

Publicize your page. Share it with your Circles and

Hangouts. Share it on social networks and in your blog posts and forum posts. Include it as part of your contact information

Educate your readers, subscribers and visitors. Remember the Golden Rule of marketing: S-p-e-l-l things out and include calls to action (telling your readers what to do next)

Remember that although Google+ Pages may "feel like Facebook", they do have the huge advantage -- and disadvantage -- of open search via Google. Google can rank your page in their search engine!

Upload photos, as well as videos. (GPlus offers some interesting statistics about Google+ photo uploads.)
