10 Tips for Better Google+ Brand Pages | Google Brand page

Just like Facebook, where companies use Facebook pages to promote their own products, Google has launched the Google + Brand pages for companies. These brand pages provide the perfect platform for companies to interact with potential customers and also help create a good image in the market. Here are ten such tips which could help create better Google plus pages.

1. Firstly create your own Google Brand page. For accessing the Google Brand page go to your Google + profile. From your home page you could access your page.
2. You need to add followers to your circles. You can only add a person to your circle though if your page is already added to his circles.
3. Create a great Google+ Brand page URL that suits your company’s needs. In case you do not like your initial URL which you are given when you created the Google Brand page you can again go to the homepage of your brand to change the URL.
4. As Google plus has lesser customization options than facebook try to keep everything neat and clean. You could remove the unwanted tabs and you could even remove images and images which you think do not suit in with the page profile. For removing the images or videos go to edit profile and select either ‘Photos’ or ‘Videos’ to hide either one or both of them.
5. It is also a great idea to link your Google plus page to your own company website. For connecting to your website, you could use the many G+ buttons or the easy-to-use code that is offered by Google. These can be used to connect your website to Google+. In fact you could also connect to the Google Direct Connect through your website.
6. Another great option in Google plus is that you could lock your posts from further sharing when and if you want. It stops anybody from sharing your shared content any further and the contents can be locked within a specific circle.
7. If your follower count is quite less, you might consider hiding your number of followers. Even this options is provided by Goggle plus. For hiding your number of followers you just need to go to your home page and select ‘Change who is visible here’.
8. Another great tip is to add the important links that are needed to be shown in your page for better brand promotion. For it, you could just go to the about page and click Edit Profile and then on Recommended links.
9. A great way to increase your brand influence is to make use of the concept of Circles in Google plus. Circles are important medium by which one connects in Google plus and you can use them by grouping your followers by interests, locations and other categories.
10. Lastly, you need to have some creativity in your page. You need to be creative with the ’scrapbook photos’ you have so that people would notice them. As photos are what enhance the appeal of your brand page, you need to pay particular attention to them.
