Google + Buttons
-
Is the following entirely correct? What would you add or subtract?:
Google+ is making its presence known in the Google search results. One of the main benefits of using Google+ for your business is that your Google+ posts are indexed in Google. The more you post, the more likely your content will show up in search results.
Things you can do today that will improve your visibility using Google+:
- Optimize your "About" page. Add keywords to your Google+ profile and links to your website using keywords as anchor text.
- Add links to your website, social networks, and blog in the "recommended links" section on Google+ page.
- Add a link (or icon) to your Google+ page on your website, blog, social networks, and your email signature.
- Add a +1 button to your website. The number of +1s a page gets will show up in the search results, even if a searcher is not logged into Google+.
- Announce your new Google+ page everywhere you communicate online, encouraging people to add your page to their circles. Your content will rank higher for specific keywords in search for those who have a connection to you on Google+.
-
Good start but I would add the following:
- Start following people/pages in your niche with high authority. Slowly start joining in the conversations, sharing information and encourage others to engage with you
- Encourage friends and colleagues to start using Google +. Hopefully they'll join, engage with others, and start following you.
- Link to your Google + page (and any other social media accounts you have) from your Twitter/Facebook/SEOmoz user profile/Rapportive etc accounts - anywhere you can possible connect with others

Having trouble removing certain photos from our Google plus?
I have a client that has images appearing on their on their Google+ profile that they don't want. They are not user uploaded images....but images being uploaded via Google maps and other sources. There is no readily available "delete" option for these particular photos. Google provided this article about dealing with these photos https://support.google.com/business/answer/6130451?hl=en&ref_topic=6130059. It turns out we have to "flag" this photos to get them removed. We can just take them off the Google+ profile. Does anybody know a work around for this? We don't want to wait weeks or months for Google to manually remove these photos.
