When setting up social media for websites, businesses often
overlook Google+, favouring Twitter and Facebook instead.
Our two part feature looks at Google+ with some top tips on
how to get Google’s social network working for your business.
Refresh your Google+ stream
Sadly, at the moment, there is no way that your Google+ is
automatically refreshed so you will need to keep an eye on it throughout the
day. Hopefully Google will bring this feature back as the first version
automatically refreshed it.
When you post, you have to tell Google whether you want it
to go to Public or Extended circles.
However you choose to post will continue by default in the
same way unless you change it, so if you only want your family to see your
post, be mindful that you will need to change it when you post your next one.
If you are looking to increase engagement, make sure that
your posts are defaulted to Public status.
Make sure your page is interesting and informative
As there is no stream on Google+, it is important to build
your page so that it feels welcoming and says a lot about your businesses and
what you do.
Enable the translation tool
Make use of the Google “one click” translation tool – this
may well increase your engagement with foreign users on Google+.
Manage your circle limits
Keep an eye on your circle limits – use Google+ Suggestions
page; this is much quicker than manually going through all of your circles
looking for people to engage with.
At the same time, uncircle pages and users to make sure that
you are keeping to the limit; eliminate the limit or increase it by circling
users and pages.
