Before creating a Google+ account,
you need to be aware that:<br />Google has banned unauthorized business profiles for now, instead recommending you use a “real person who is willing to represent your organization on Google+ using a real profile as him-or-herself”. <br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Step 1: Choose who you
think can best represent your company on this social network i.e. CEO, Owner, Marketing Spokesman. <br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Googlehas made it clear that:<br
/>“Once these pages/profiles arrive they will probably operate in a way that’s pretty similar to Facebook Pages, but with some Google SEO benefits. They will be indexed, “followable” and individual updates or posts can be +1′d — much or all of which will be fed back into search results and rankings.”<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

your search results so take advantage of this!<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

/>Click on ‘Employment’ or ‘Education’ section.<br />Enter your detailed description in the first field box (This will be either ‘Employer Name’ or ‘School Name’).<br />Now just hover your mouse over your icon!<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Circles&Streams<br />Circles help you organize
people in groups so you can share content relevant to that particular circle only. Streams show the content shared by people in different Circles.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

When adding people you’ll be
able to specify a existing circle to put them or create a new circle. <br />You can separate people into existing and new customers, which of your products/services they’re interested in & so on depending on your company.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

You can also just select
people and drag and dropthem in circles at any time<br />I.e. When a potential lead becomes a customer, you can move them to the ‘customer’ circle.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Now you’ll want to add
some people..<br />Through Google’s Suggestions. On the right hand side, Google gives suggestions <br /> of people you can easily add.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

2. Through Yahoo Mail &
Hotmail by going viewing your ‘Circles’ (Add your mailing list!)<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Now you can see what
people in that circle share when you click on that particular circle.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Tip: If you expand the
‘Share’ box, you can drag and drop content, photos, links, videos & other users profiles into it.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Tip: You can send direct
messages to multiple people by using the @ symbol followed by their name (only they can see your message). Then just type your message.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

But Circles aren’t just for
sorting contacts, you can use them as a bookmarking device!<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

For example, I created a
‘social media’ circle. When someone from my normal circle posts a related message or link to an article I want to save for later, I click ‘share’ and share it to my ‘social media’ circle. <br />By default it will share to the ‘Public’ and all your circles, just click on the ‘x’ icon. Then click ‘+Add more people’ and select a specific circle.<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />

Now I can view these
status updates and articles easily any time, just by clicking on the ‘Social Media’ stream. This is great for saving tips that could help your business!<br />Powered by: http://www.SocialMotus.com<br />
