Custom WordPress Websites that Rock!

Google+ Pages opens up!

Google Plus ·

To say I’ve been looking forward to Google Pages would be an understatement!

As a huge fan of Facebook Pages, I can see G+ Pages becoming HUGE!

Here’s my 1st Page: https://plus.google.com/104579904029888130591/about (check it out)

While it’s a slow rollout, if you want to create a G+ Page you’ll start here: https://plus.google.com/pages/create

If you see this message, you’ll just have to wait a little longer.

If you are seeing that message – take a deep breath and check back later.

If you don’t see that message – LUCKY YOU!  From there you’ll have to choose the Category of your Page.  That should be relatively simple for most.  You’ll have 5 different categories to choose from.  I imagine most small business owners will be local place or business.

Google Plus Page Categories

Local pages include a map of the business’s location and feature its address, phone number, and hours of operation.

For right now pages look a lot like Profiles but they do have their differences…

  • Pages can’t add people to circles until the page is added first or mentioned. Learn more.
  • Pages can be made for a variety of different entities whereas profiles can only be made for people.
  • The default privacy setting for elements on your page profile is public.
  • Pages have the +1 button.
  • Pages can’t +1 other pages, nor can they +1 stuff on the Web.
  • Pages can’t play games.
  • Pages don’t have the option to share to ‘Extended circles’.
  • Pages don’t receive notifications via email, text, or in the Google bar.
  • Pages can’t hangout on a mobile device.
  • Local pages have special fields that help people find the business’ physical location. Learn more about local pages.

Have you created a Page for your business yet?
