Lost with Google services: place, Google +, page, youtube ...?
-
Hello MOoooooooooooooz !
Sorry to add another post on this. But I think most of us agree on the fact that for Google +, Google is not making very good job. Even worst when we know how low is the engagement on this website.
Now I'm facing the following issue: Multi page and accounts through Google services !
One of my customer is playing music. So she has a google + profil and a youtube.
Now we created the same for her website: A google page and then a google place (Google team has been sending hundred of messages and so far has not merge them).
Then I opened a youtube for the Google Page. So i end up with:
- A Google + Profil for her (we use for the authorship)
- A Goole + profil for her website (we use for the SEO)
- A Google place page (we use for maps SEO)
- A youtube account for her (come with gmail)
- A youtube channel for her (easier to promote her job)
- A youtube channel automatically created through the Google + page (2)
What would you do in this case to:
- Get 1 Google page
- Get 1 youtube channel
I would like something easy to use even for youtube download or reviews and sharing. So I do not know which one to keep, etc ...
Hope you can help me as I'm sure many of us faced the same issue.

Hello !
Tks for your return. I was thinking the same to separate both personal and professional accounts. My concern was to make something easy for people to use.
I was also bit lost between the personnel channel and the Google page channel.
I gonna try to close all the one not in used.
Best regards

Hi there,
If you get no response from Google to merge the accounts, consider creating definitions for the two different pages.
• One Personal account for Youtube, email, Google+ (socially)
• One work account to manage her music.As recommended below, the pre-existing account should become a work account. Particularly in the music industry as I understand how difficult this is to get a foothold in.
So separating your 6 points, 1, 4 can be used personally. 2, 3 and 5 should be used for work.
Is point #6 even required to be updated at all then? Can it just be left blank leaving less work overall?
Hope I can provide some insight and best of luck!

You would need to consider in this case, which Google+ page and YouTube channel to use. I don't think you would be able to merge them together, but you would be able to choose which YouTube channel you would like to link with your Google+ page.
If your client is a singer, it would be better to be using the YouTube account that she is currently uploading her videos to and linking it to the Google+ page. If she has not uploaded any videos, then using the channel automatically created through the Google+ page would save you some trouble.
As for the Google+ page, you should be using the one tied to the website. Authorship won't be that important for your client unless she is planning on writing content regularly. Using the one that is already optimised for SEO would be the wiser choice.
My 2 cents worth!

Facebook Business Page Optimization: Awards Section
Hi everyone! I am looking to add my clients awards to the Facebook business page to add a little "pow" and give myself a "look what I did" talking point at my next meeting with them. I was comparing their page to the competition, and I noticed the competition has a lovely Awards section under their About. Do you know how/where this is hiding? My clients business page is rather new (a little over a year old), so I'm leaning towards this was an old feature that Facebook has not hidden from older pages. Anyone have any idea on where this is hiding? fXVWEwM

Facebook Page likes vs Webpage facebook likes - Social Media Query
I have a website and a facebook page. I have the Facebook Social Plugin on my website which shows my facebook page likes - This is currently at approx 140 likes. Is there a difference between facebook page likes and webpage likes? For SEO purposes, should I be concentrating less on the Facebook page and more on building facebook likes for the website? Are there any guides on this? What gets people to like a website as opposed to a web-page?

How does Google handle URL shortening, do they pass link juice?
When I'm Social Book marking my websites I use a url shortening service such as bitly.com or onlywire.com. Do these services transfer link juice in the same ways as a direct link would do?

Google Plus Algorithim take into account your circle of friends?
I understand that Google will now display search results from your google plus page if it is relevant or if it is from a friend. But my question is if there is weight based on the amount of friends you have or the relevancy of your friends. For example if you search for the term 'wine' if I have 5,000 friends and many of them are wine and food critics just because of that will my google plus page show up or maybe if I just mention wine would I have a higher chance of showing up than a person who is more relevant on their plus page but has less friends or rather less relevant friends? Thanks!

Whats the SEO value of getting Likes to your brand's Facebook Page (not your site's URLs being Liked)?
UPDATED: I meant to say SEO VALUE, not just business value Lets say I have a site - www.company.com, and I set up a Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/company. I understand the SEO value of having the domain www.company.com "Liked", using the FB Like button on my homepage lets say, or the same goes for individual pages - www.company.com/page. My question is rather about having my Facebook Page - Facebook.com/company "Liked". Are those likes counted by the engines as a strong signal that www.company.com should rank well? Or only that the Facebook Page - Facebook.com/company should rank well in searches for that company?

Google+ and its effects on SERPs
Hi all, With the recent launch of Google+ I've looked into the possible effects of +1'ing sites and whether or not it has a direct effect on other people with whom I'm connected within Google+. So far I cannot see any direct correlation, however I running a bigger/wider experiement with more people to get a definitive answer. What does scare me as an SEO, is that Google+ users will (most likely) use Google search whilst they are logged in, which, as we know personalises results based on a myriad of suspected metrics such as previous visits, personal +1, etc... How is this going to effect the SEO world if/when a Google+ attracts more users. Experienced this first hand when a client called me to congratulate a jump from position 9 on Google to first position over the weekend, which when I checked, the website hadn't shifted, the client was logged into her Google account due to the fact she had been playing with plus. Thoughts? Cheers Aran

Google Plus 1 button appearance
Has anyone had issues with the creative control google is maintaining with the Plus 1 button. I have a client who is very strict on their design structure and wants to make the google button appear in style with their theme. Has anyone encountered this or knows a moderately easy solution besides hacking away? THanks!
