Lost with Google services: place, Google +, page, youtube ...?

[AymanH]

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:

1. A Google + Profil for her (we use for the authorship)
2. A Goole + profil for her website (we use for the SEO)
3. A Google place page (we use for maps SEO)
4. A youtube account for her (come with gmail)
5. A youtube channel for her (easier to promote her job)
6. A youtube channel automatically created through the Google + page (2)

What would you do in this case to:

1. Get 1 Google page
2. 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!
