Google+ Meets Gmail: Everything You Need To Know About The Explosive Combo

Google+ Meets Gmail: Everything You Need To Know About The Explosive Combo | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Google has connected YouTube comments to Google+ posts (for which we are eternally grateful), but has also connected Google+ to Gmail in various ways, which may not sound as inviting. But rest assured, most of it is not mandatory.

 

If you’re not aware of these connections yet, here’s everything you need to know about what they mean for you, and how you can opt out.

Jaana Nyström's insight:

Soon Google+ = Google. Connecting all the tools and products with Googleplus.

A Comprehensive Guide to Marketing on Google Plus

A Comprehensive Guide to Marketing on Google Plus | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Google plus is one of the most unknown, under-utilized internet marketing tools available on the internet right now. It contains magical powers, like the ability to get your face to appear next to your search result listings in Google Search and the opportunity to network with thousands of like-minded individuals.   


Many whisper that Google Plus holds the secret to future Google Search organic rankings.   


At the very minimum, Google Plus is a vibrant community full of engaged users that are ready to become a part of your online audience.  It also has so much potential to become intertwined with every aspect of Google’s multiple prominent platforms.

Congratulations, you have created or are about to create a Google+ business page!
On Google+ a page can follow anyone, also personal profiles. A page can join communities and create them, too.  A page can +mention anyone, send private messages and engage just like a personal profile: Very different from Facebook.
See the helpful links at the end of this article!

For your page promotion to succeed, keep these five steps in mind:

★ Post good content, not only your own ads

Google+ Local vs. Google+ Business Pages vs. Google Local Listing

Google+ Local vs. Google+ Business Pages vs. Google Local Listing | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Google+ pages officially launched in November of 2011, but two years later, they still have a long way to go.


One of the main areas that could benefit from some improvement is local Google+ pages – arguably the most confusing of all the page types.

Google+ Local pages can be very powerful if you know how to use them.


With that being said, I’m going to clear the smoke on this often confusing digital-marketing tool so that you can make proper use of it!

Jaana Nyström's insight:

The difference between Google Local and other business pages?

StrutturaFine | pl's curator insight, February 22, 2014 8:11 AM

Effettivamente, le Pagine di Google+ funzionano poco.

Google Local è la risposta [il tentativo di] ai social di geolocalizzazione e referenziazione  - Foursquare, TripAdvisor, Yelp -  e come è già successo con G+, hanno fatto l'errore di non permettere il raccordo tra Pagine G+ che probabilmente avevi già e Pagina Google Local [così alla fine te ne trovi 2].

Ma Google è sempre Google, e bisogna tenerne conto.

Google Plus is currently the fastest growing social network on the internet; although not quite the size of Facebook (yet), the fact that it has Google behind it means that it is only going to become more prevalent in our online lives.

There are lots of great guides out there on Google Plus, but one of the things you can do right now is to join some of the Google Plus communities (like real time forums) and follow Google Plus pages and people from Google itself.

Myths About Google+ | Social Media Today

Myths About Google+ | Social Media Today | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
Vic Gundotra, head of social at Google, reported in October 2013 that Google+ experienced a 58% increase in users between May and Oct 2013. The platform has 540 million members, 300 million of whom are monthly active users. Despite what you may have read in the media, that hardly makes Google+ a “ghost town.”

How Google Plus Profiles & Pages Gain Search Authority

How Google Plus Profiles & Pages Gain Search Authority | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Increasing Visibility & Influence In Google Search

That means that anyone who wants to make use of Google+ as part of an overall strategy of increasing visibility and influence in Google Search should be actively pursuing all of the following tactics:

- Build a strong network within Google+. You should seek to cultivate not just a large number of followers, but more importantly, active relationships and partnerships with influential Google+ users. Their citations to your profile have a powerful effect on its authority to Google.


 - Cultivate quality links from trusted websites. Create the kind of presence on Google+ that site owners want to recommend and link to. When being interviewed or referenced by a site, ask if they would link to your Google+ profile or page for identity purposes.


 - Use Google Authorship for your content across the Web. Although this tip applies only to personal profiles, since Google Authorship involves a legitimate, Google-approved link to our profile, the more quality content you produce on trusted sites, the more authority given to your profile.

Google+ = Google...
