Hi there
The question is two-fold, so let's look at it in bits.
First - Google+ may pass SEO value to your site, just as any other website would. This is because Google+ pages can accrue PageRank and also pass it on - the links in the "about" section of a business page, for example, are dofollow, which passes PageRank or SEO equity.
Second of all, Google+ already has a big influence in organic search in a few other ways - and this is likely to get bigger over time. We have seen people being able to link to their website with the rel=author tag - which links the website with a Google+ profile. This creates a rich snippet in the organic search results, a small picture of the contributor's profile, which has been tested to show an increase in click-through rate in the SERPs. So that's one way.
The second is personalised search. People logged into their Google accounts will be served personalised search engine results. This could be based on their previous browsing history, pages that they have "+1'", friends that have "+1"'d pages and probably more factors in the future. This can have a massive shift in how organic search appears and therefore makes Google accounts and Google+ a significant influencer.
I would start engaging more and more with your Google+ account. Get involved with Google+ community pages to start getting more followers to your own account and start being active and promoting your business pages too. Engage with your audience, take part of the Hangouts feature and start adding +1s and followers to your page. Link up your personal profile to your blog posts with the "rel=author" schema tag to improve click through rate on these posts. The stronger your profile and business page are, then it's most likely the stronger the influence they will have in organic search.
Hope this answers your questions!

How would you increase rankings if you were in charge of the SEO for this site
Hello, For the site nlpca.com How would you get them to the #2 spot for "NLP" and the #2 spot for "NLP Training" They won't do link building due to reputation in the industry. They're open to Google+ and the +1 button. They are willing to add stellar targeted authoritative content. They're adding a blog and comprehensive "What is NLP?" article. They are a "Top 5" authority in the field. Thanks.

Google+ Doesn't Show my Post Title
When I create a new blog post and link to it on Google+, the thumbnail & description are correct, but the HTML title it pulls in is just the company name. I have the proper HTML title tag and OpenGraph tagging on the page too, but lately (last 3 posts) it just shows company name: Here's an example. It used to work on the first handful of posts, but the last 3 or 4, it just show the "Company Name" next to the thumbnail image & above the description. <title>Some blog post title - Company Name</name></p> <p>...</p> <p>...</p> <p><span><meta </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">property</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">og:title</span><span>' </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">content</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">Some blog post title - Company Name</span><span>'/></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

Explanation of Facebook referral paths in Google Analytics
In the past month I have seen a huge increase in the visits + conversions from Facebook (which is obviously great). However, from Google Analytics it appears that most of my visits are not coming from my brand page. Is there an explanation of what these referral paths mean? Top Facebook referral paths: / /l.php /home.php /ajax/emu/end.php /brand - much less visits than above URLs

How can I work out who pressed my Google +1 button?
With Facebook likes it comes up on Facebook, telling you who pressed the 'like' button. You also get the number of people that like it. Is there something like this for the +1 button? I can work it out through webmaster tools, but this is delayed data, unlike the Facebook 'likes' which is instant. Is there a way of knowing who pressed your +1 button straight away, like on Facebook?

Do links in Paper.li twitter round-ups help my SEO?
My twitter feed is picked up in the daily roundups like Paper.li. Do these links count towards my SEO effort or are they just empty. Clearly they spread my content so that great, just wondered if the links pass juice to the site.
