Google+ Pages for Business

Hello, World!

Welcome to Google+ Pages, where businesses will find an incredible set of tools to get closer to their customers. Brands, companies, organizations, and other groups now have a presence on Google+ and we could not be happier.

So, how do businesses maximize their impact in Google+? What’s the best way to use Pages? How should Google+ fit into business’ social media strategy and other online marketing?  The Google+ Your Business page will be the central source for updates, best practices, and other information about Google+ Pages. But, it’s also about growing your business using Google+ and the incredible tools it provides.

They will feature interviews with Googlers and social media specialists, brand campaign highlights, tips and tricks, and feature announcements.

The new Pages are built for businesses and brands, and they look largely similar to your personal Google+ page, aside from a badge that signifies the Page status. With its usual charm, Google notes, "Businesses don't make people happy. People do." Page owners will be able to share photos, videos, and text updates, and, like personal accounts, Pages can be added to user's Circles. Pages appear to be broken down by categories like brands, local businesses, companies, or an arts, entertainment or sports catch all.
