AKGT Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Have you found Google+ useful for your business, I've seen few people mention but know nothing about it other then its like facebook for businesses could someone give me some info.
Tony Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 We have G+ pages, but in all honesty it's just a stake in the ground for now. Google have the weight to make it work after a fashion, but they seem to be simultaneously throttling the life out of it by trying to retain the Google brand over our business. They need to let it go so that users can create the environment, not the platform. For instance, pages need to have a snappy URL, not one dictated by algorithms, and until we can pick our own brand I can't see why we would tell anyone about our G+ pages. So far, it's a fail on the scale of Wave.
steveroberts Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Not even looked at it yet. To be honest, I do not use Google+ at all. It's enough keeping LinkedIn & Facebook up to date!
andygardener Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Not even looked at it yet. To be honest, I do not use Google+ at all. It's enough keeping LinkedIn & Facebook up to date! I tend to agree, I had a brief look but it just seemed like i'd be letting myself in for another job to do with little return. Facebook, twitter, blog, linkedin...all gets a bit tedious after a while.
hellfleet Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 What is linkedin like? Its for professional networking, its almost like an online CV.
AdamDowning Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I find LinkedIn is better for business than Google+. I only use Facebook and LinkedIn at the minute.
Brian Hanson Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Escadon uses Linkedin, qype, postcode gazette mainly to advertise the business free of charge. Our main 'free' business page is on facebook. (facebook.com/escadon) We find Google Map very useful. It helps our customers to find our office.
j4e11 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 We just have a business page on Facebook at the moment. We do intend using Google+ at some point, have a registration but nothing set up as yet
Movehut Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 We use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and have a Google+ page. We are in about 50 people's circles, which is slowly growing. At the moment we update G+ about 2/3 times a week, but generally map over what we put on the Facebook page. I think it will take off, but will take more time and won't wipe out Facebook like it thinks it can. Check out this blog about Google Plus benefits for businesses
