Google plus was launched over one year ago and initially it was only created for individuals. However, since over 6 monnths both organizations, companies and publications are allowed to be featured on Google plus. In fact, you can even put up products, brands or pages for sport and entertainment. Here is how you get started.

3 simple steps to get Google Plus for Businesses

1. Sign in

Sign in to your Google plus account – most people with Gmail already have accounts. If you haven’t got one, it’s quick to create a new Google business account.

2. Choose a category

In order to create a business site on Google + you need to choose a category. Either a local business (for companies where local customers are most important), product or brand (popular for many brands) or the third choice: “company, institution or organisation” (relevant for most national businesses and organisations).

3. Add you details

In less than 5 minutes, a new site can be created. Simply add 1-2 photos (logo and background image), your website url and a short description (10 words). After creating your Google plus business page it is possible to upload videos, post news or start following relevant news providers, organisations and businesses on Google’s social network.
