10 things you really shouldn’t do on Google+

Presented By SarkeMedia.com

Mistake #1: Corporate Sounding Tag Line

Don’t be stuffy. Don’t be cute. Use an attention-getting tag line to capture your potential connection’s

interest.

Mistake #2: Not Fully Utilizing Links

Use the link space available in your Google+ profile to its fullest.

Mistake #3: Not Regularly Posting

Be a source of great content for your connections. Post regularly.

Mistake #4: Not Encouraging +1s

+1s have plenty of benefit to your business, including improved search engine rankings. Ask for them readily and hand them out to good content when you see it.

Mistake #5: Poor Use of Photos

Google+ shows full size images in the stream. Use this to your advantage.

Mistake #6: Not Using Direct Connect

Direct Connect allows people to find your brand by enter + and your company name.

Make sure you set it up for your brand.

Mistake #7: Not Verifying Your Name

Verify your company name on Google+, so no one else can take it.

Mistake #8: Not Segmenting with Circles

Circles allow you to stay relevant with your different types of contacts. Use them.

Mistake #9: Not sharing enough content

The Google+ audience expect fresh content. And you should also share the content of others. Don’t get crazy and repost so much that people are put off.

Mistake #10: Overlooking Hangouts

Hangouts is very powerful video software that can help you deepen your connections and share more information. Use it readily.
