Google+ Branded Pages for Local Business and Global Brands

by on November 7, 2011 · 11 comments

Google plus network’s main goal is to actually connect people together and help them build and manage relationships together. Today, Google is rolling out Google+ Pages worldwide, from local businesses to global brands.

This exciting news was shared on Google’s official blog today:

For businesses and brands, Google+ pages help you connect with the customers and fans who love you. Not only can they recommend you with a +1, or add you to a circle to listen long-term. They can actually spend time with your team, face-to-face-to-face. All you need to do is start sharing, and you’ll soon find the super fans and loyal customers that want to say hello.

See some Google+ Branded Pages examples.

Add Branded Pages to your Circles

Imagine you can hang out with any of your favorite brands or shops live and connect with them. You can even find it straight from the search result using the new Direct Connect from Google search!

This simply can be done by adding a “+” before the bran name!

Note that Direct Connect works for a limited number of pages today (like +Google, +Pepsi, and +Toyota), but many more are coming.

Google+ Branded Pages and new opportunities

Not only Google+ Branded Pages will help local business and brands to expand and reach more clients, but it will also create new business opportunities for more and much more development on the internet, this will benefit developers, designers, web marketers to show off their skills building awesome Google+ Branded Pages!

Google+ Pages for Business have been released, but only to highly disappoint people’s expectations!
The have brought little to no improvement based on their rival, Facebook pages. The only innovation they brought is the Google+ Direct Connect.

I finally decided to create a Page for Evolutionary Designs. But to be honest, I am really not sure if I will use it. Everything is setup through my personal profile and I really do not want to double post and cross post everything. Plus I think its kinda spammy to share the same stuff on my personal account then share it on the Google+ Page for the website. There’s a good chance that a lot of people will be following both accounts…

But I do look forward to what feature Google will be adding.

It’s not a secret for anyone that Google always offers something new to their users! And everything they offer is always of top quality. And Google+ is not an exception, it can also give many advantages to its users.

This is so cool Hesham. I actually just stared to create my own page :) Not much going on there, but I like the ease of creating one. Much easier than FB :) Sending clients some emails to see if they want me to create their own, lol ;-)

This will be great for Businesses anyway, but in a way I think it’s very similar to Facebook pages. And Facebook definitely has the advantage over Google plus at the moment, so I think it could be a while before it catches on

Hey Robert,

Yes.. It’s similar to Facebook pages, but I think the direct connect is a huge addition as it will allow connecting directly with brands from Google search , this is something that Facebook doesn’t have!

Thanks Hisham,

Wonder how this will affects the SERP results? I’m beginning to see GPlus come up in the SERPs, guess this will help too.
