Connecting a Google Places & Google+ Account?
-
Does anybody know how to connect Google Places to Google+?
When my company name is searched in Google, the Google+ page appears on the right hand side like it should. However, under the meta description of the first search result there a link saying 'Google+ page' which links to a Google Places Local account.
Does anyone know how this can be sorted?

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for your response.
I didn't know it was typical. Someone told me that we had a duplicate Google+ page and I was trying desperately to remove it and couldn't find a way. But if it's normal, I will just leave it.
Thanks

Hi Brian,
What you are seeing with the link reading 'Google+ page' linking to a Google+ Local page is typical, actually, but if you want more information about the process of merging a social page with a local page, let me link you to a Google and Your Business Forum Top Contributor's good explanation of this:

Does this help?

'Google+ gmail bias' as explained by Rand doesn't seem to work
One of the reasons we are using Google+ is the email via gmail bias. Rand says the following about this mechanism: Gmail is another way to get this same sort of bias. You can see it in there if you're logged into your Gmail account, and you can see "Hey, I'm not following this person on Google+. Oh, we've exchanged emails, so they're showing me these results higher that they've +1'd." We just started using Google+ and are determining which email address to use for this functionality to work. Of course we need to use the email address which we use for customer contact, but it's not very obvious which one that is from a Google+ bias point of view: We are using Google Apps for email hosting. We log in with our 'backoffice@company.nl' email address, which no customer of ours will ever know about. And we send emails with this backoffice account on behalf of our info@ourcompany.nl email address, which is the email address we use for all our customer contact. Both of these email addresses are 'users' of this same Google Apps account. Emails sent to info@ourcompany.nl also appear in backoffice@company.nl. So we actually never login to info@ourcompany.nl, everything is being done in backoffice@company.nl. But for the outside world (our customers) it's all about info@ourcompany.nl. Which account should we use for making our company Google+ Page? The 'backoffice' one, or info@ourcompany.nl? I have been testing to find out which account offers the bias, but neither of them showed any sign of this. I hope somebody can help me out here. Wouter Olthof

How do you get more Google +s?
I have had a google plus page and a facebook page for my business for a long time now. I have not had any issues building a customer base via Facebook either by promoting my page or by using the pay promotions via facebook. On the other hand, I have had 0 luck of getting +s on my google page. I feel the page looks good, but just am having a hard time. Is there an effective way out there to get followers on Google+?

2013 - Google Places/Business to Google Plus Local
Hi, Much of the reading I've done has suggested that existing Google Places/Business Page (with "About" and "Photos" on top) will be automagically "upgraded" to Google Plus Local pages (with "About" and "Photos" and "Reviews" and all the other Google Plus items). However, is there a way to force an upgrade? I have a Google Places/Business Page and when I go to "manage page" it basically wants me to create a separate Google + Page for the Business. Is this the correct thing to do? Do I need to create a Google + Page for the company first, and then try to merge the Places listing with the new Google + Page for the business? Thank your for helping me clear this up!

Google Plus and Large Multiple-Language Website
I work for a corporation who has about 30 international versions of their website. I have an internal question asking me if we (our company) benefits (SEO wise) more from having multiple Google Plus pages or just one. I'm not familiar with how/if Google translates their pages but I'm quite sure someone here is! Is it better to have a Google Plus page for each language or to have one for all languages? We have different websites for each country if that helps.
