Help with google+ Please??
-
Hello, we have recently created a google + page.
We have entered our URL however i do not think that it is set up correctly.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/110174750926862024398/
There is no button on the header to follow or to +1
there is no mention of our URL within the header, and i have found on many others the url is displayed, linked with a tick and a little globe next to it.
i am presuming that i need to link the google plus page to my webiste and verify it some how? But i am struggling to figure out how too do this. can any one help or shed any light on this? Thanks

A little lower than you have on your image you should see a link page with "your website" and a little tick next to it the tick means its been linked.

Hi Reece,
Did you make sure to out your G+ number where it says yourpageID?

Link to your website from your Google+ page's profile.
To edit your page profile:
-
Make sure you're on the Google+ page you'd like to edit.
-
Click the profile icon .
-
Click Edit Profile.
-
Click Website. You'll know it's editable when the color of the section changes to blue.
On the "about" section you want to edit the links section if you want find it don't worry edit any of the boxes then you will see tabs at the bottom (circles) Second in from the right is one called links you can add your website there
I've attached a screen grab to help my point. I hope this clears it up a bit.
Good luck!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have followed the steps on that link you sent me and i am still having problems...
Update your site's home page by adding a link to your Google+ page, like this:

Link to your website from your Google+ page's profile.

There is no section that says website? or "edit profile"?
I click "edit" on my google plus page and it brings up a box to edit the content...
People, story, work, education... but no section called website.
Its been bugging me for days!

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.

Purchasing a Google Plus Profile
A client of mine has the opportunity to purchase a google plus profile from a now defunct competitor. Essentially the profile is in tens of thousands of circles, so it may be a decent idea just from a marketing standpoint. When it comes to SEO I am wondering about a few things Is this against Googles rules? Has there been any proof of authorship playing a role in SERP rankings? So if there was an article where the author was in 50 circles compared to the same article where the author was in 50,000 circles would it effect the rankings at all? Have there been any studies done that show that the +1 (from Google Plus users) effects SERP rankings? Sorry for all the questions, but this is an interesting opportunity. Thanks in advance!

Google+ for Business
Google+ has thrown a bit of a monkey wrench into my SEO plans. Over the last few weeks, Google+ listings started showing up in the SERPs for my money keywords. The good news is that once we launch our new site, we have a good chance of getting into the Google+ 7 packs. The bad news is that SEO on a national level just got tougher with the local Google+ listings crowding natural listings down the page. Questions: 1. How does Google+ determine who goes into the 7 pack?
Social Media | | CsmBill
2. Is there always a 7 Pack? Can there only be a 4 pack?
3. I see Google+ listings for companies that don't have a Google+ page. How is that possible?
4. Through my keyword research, I have about 20 keywords that are triggering Google+ listings in the SERPs. Some SERPs are only showing 2-4 G+ listings. Is it safe to assume that this is because no one has put those keywords in their Google+ description, and hasn't optimized for those words on their site?0 -

Thoughts on Google+ influence on SERPs?
I just read this article over on Read Write Web: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_is_going_to_mess_up_the_internet.php The part that made me raise an eyebrow is in the section "Google+ Hates the Internet". I just tested the exact term the author used and his article does show up first, followed by two G+ listings. I don't have enough action going on in my G+ accounts to even test this, let alone see it, but was wondering if anyone else has seen it or tested it? Perhaps this in fact, is Google's way of using "social proof" to drive valuable content up? Seems like it, which is good. However, I can also see how it can be abused to further game and manipulate SERPs. Thoughts?
