In part one of our special two part feature, we looked at managing circle limits, enabling Google’s translation tool, making your page interesting and refreshing your Google+ stream regularly.
Here are some more tips to make the most of your Google+
experience and boost engagement for your company.
Explore and What's Hot streams
It is easy to become a member of many communities on
Google+, but keeping up with the posts is hard work.
Because of this, many of the interesting posts in the What’s
Hot and Explore sections are from communities that you may not actually belong
to.
To solve this problem, show communities in the Explore tab
only if you are a member so that you can get involved when you want to and
hopefully your engagement will increase.
Keep comments flagged as 'spam' visible
Google will automatically identify comments that may be spam
with their algorithm – the comments will appear only to the user. As many users
ignore the spam section, they are not restored.
In fact, many of the comments are decent ones so it is well
worth restoring them to help with engagement if you have the time.
Think in Twitter terms
Try to stick to short posts, like you do when you Tweet.
Google+ allows you to post more content but remember that people don’t
necessarily always want to see it.
There is a tool called Friends+Me which allows users to
auto-post to both Google+ and Twitter. Twitter gets the headline and a link
back to Google+ where everyone can join in a more hearty conversation.
Hangouts and mobile
At present, there is a live streaming trend, but Google’s
Hangouts On Air has been around for some years – sadly, it is not easy to use
for many and it is also not mobile friendly.
Have you got any hints and tips you would like to share
about the way in which Google+ has enhanced your business?
