10 Reasons why your Business needs a Google Plus Page

Internet Marketing High Wycombe Bucks1. Join Conversations and chat to your Customers

If you want to engage in conversations with people talking about your business/industry, you should have a business profile so that you can talk back with your business name. This will show people that you’re listening and care enough about your business to get involved in their conversations.  This can also help you get more fans for your page.

2. Brand Protection

Don’t wait for others to start creating pages with your business name. Create the official page for your business so that people on Google+ know where to find your real page/profile.

3. Your Fans, Customers and/or Potential Customers are on Google+

Google+ is growing at an amazing rate – and on pace to surpass MySpace in traffic. People are looking to follow businesses and brands, and if you don’t have a page, you’re losing opportunities to gain customers/fans just for not having a page up.

4. Own More Listings in Google Search (And Push Down Others)

When someone searches for your business name in Google, you will own more search results on the page by having a Google+ page listed there, too.

5. Build More Relevant Links to Your Domain & Products

Link to your services, landing pages, and main site in the “About” section to help fans and potential customers find relevant landing pages or sections of your site.

6. Get More +1s in the Google Ecosystem

Google wants to help businesses advertise smarter by using +1s in AdWords ads, websites, and now +1s on pages. +1s help Google determine how relevant a business listing or ad might be for someone. Just as Facebook ads uses social sharing to help increase clicks, Google wants to help businesses get more relevant traffic by tying together +1s to make content more relevant to fans and potential customers.

7. It Takes Less Than 5-Minutes to Set-up Your Business Page.

It literally takes minutes to create a page and upload a logo. Even if you don’t have time to spend writing posts, get your page up so people who are looking for you can circle you. If you want us to help we are happy to!

8. You’ll Learn More About Your Customers with Google+ Analytics

Google will soon bring in analytics into Google+ pages so you can learn a lot more about your customers and fans, which can help you with your advertising efforts. Imagine the marketing possibilities and intelligence you’ll have when you combine analytics from AdWords, your site, and  Google+ Page circles.

9. Improve Your Advertising Efforts

Imagine the re-marketing and social ad possibilities you will have in AdWords if you have already have an audience in Google+ and potential access to advertise to people who circle your fans (similar to Facebook social ads).  Google makes money by helping businesses profit with AdWords, so it makes sense that Google will use this social network to help businesses advertise smarter.  So make sure you have an audience there when they flip the switch.
