Google Plus Company Page Verification
-
-
Hi
How do you test successful G+ company page/publisher integration/verification if using the less technical methods such as linking between the Home page and the G+ company page instead of adding code to the head section? Since i take it the google structured data testing tool cant work in these cases since no code on the head section !
Is it best to add the code anyway ? I note my clients still not achieving a knowledge graph card/section in the search results for a branded search but i have heard that doesnt come until you have at least hundreds of followers and/or G+ interactions.
All Best

cool thanks i see the tick
so that confirms that strucutred data testing tool can make you think its not set up when it actually is in the circumstance where you havnt added any code!/
We have set up webmaster tools long ago but not sure with what email address since so many in the oragnisation for this client. So are you saying if we havnt with same email address then theres a problem ? (the tick is there)
thanks for that resource, although it doesnt answer my question since says it was a bug and now working again so i need to know how you get a brand box bakc in the Knowledge graph, any tips welcomed

When it wil successfully setup, then you will get a tick mark. Its possible to publish a page without code, But you need to setup webmaster tool with same email address, which email address you used for publishing your page. For last question, you will get your answer from there. https://plus.google.com/+MarkTraphagen/posts/fwGJJBR4ys8

Thanks Tafser
What im asking is how do you check is the page/publisher is successfully set up if you have not used any code (so testing tool wont work since no code to look for) ?
Then I ask what do you need do to win the brand box in the knowledge graph, do you need a certain amount of followers or interactions before you get that ?
Thanks for the tips
All Best

If you used verification code in you head section, i think it will verify ASA. But you can verify instant, if you can use webmaster in same email. Cause many time i got that kind of situation.
Google plus page is most important part of local business. Its really very easy to grab 100+ followers. Join some related community of google plus, then post there & try to use hastag (#) . It will give you best result. After few days, you will see your followers is increasing. I have many experience on it. So If you do it some days in google plus, i am damn sure it will happen. Here is link of google plus page benifits,

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.

'Google+ gmail bias' as explained by Rand doesn't seem to work
One of the reasons we are using Google+ is the email via gmail bias. Rand says the following about this mechanism: Gmail is another way to get this same sort of bias. You can see it in there if you're logged into your Gmail account, and you can see "Hey, I'm not following this person on Google+. Oh, we've exchanged emails, so they're showing me these results higher that they've +1'd." We just started using Google+ and are determining which email address to use for this functionality to work. Of course we need to use the email address which we use for customer contact, but it's not very obvious which one that is from a Google+ bias point of view: We are using Google Apps for email hosting. We log in with our 'backoffice@company.nl' email address, which no customer of ours will ever know about. And we send emails with this backoffice account on behalf of our info@ourcompany.nl email address, which is the email address we use for all our customer contact. Both of these email addresses are 'users' of this same Google Apps account. Emails sent to info@ourcompany.nl also appear in backoffice@company.nl. So we actually never login to info@ourcompany.nl, everything is being done in backoffice@company.nl. But for the outside world (our customers) it's all about info@ourcompany.nl. Which account should we use for making our company Google+ Page? The 'backoffice' one, or info@ourcompany.nl? I have been testing to find out which account offers the bias, but neither of them showed any sign of this. I hope somebody can help me out here. Wouter Olthof

Buon pormeriggio from 24 degrees C slightly cloudy Wetherby UK 🙂 I want to open a facebook business page for a client but i understand it has to be attached to my personal facebook account. This is a pain, one day I'll leave the digital game which then presents a problem for the next administrator, I mean i can hardly pass arounf my facebook user name & pasword. Then to add to the conundrum i hear the fix is to regioster a business account sound good so far but then you cant do this if you have a personal account... err WTF! So my question is what do socail media agencies do when they open facebook business pages, surely they are not ties to personal accounts? Any insights welcome,

How much of an impact does Google+ page age have?
Do Google+ pages gain authority with age? Does it matter very much if I wait a few months to make a Google+ page as opposed to establishing it now, even if I won't be doing much work on it for a while?

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?
