But many businesses are still ignoring Google Plus.<\/p>\n<p>It has over 150 million active monthly users, and 39 percent of the UK online population has a Google Plus account (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/376341\/googe-plus-penetration-countries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista.com<\/a>) \u2013 partly due to the fact that many Google services such as Android and YouTube require a Plus account.<\/p>\n<p>Google Plus is one of the quickest ways for any business to boost its online presence and search engine rankings. After all, it&#8217;s owned by Google and works hand-in-hand with Google Search.<\/p>\n[Tweet &#8220;Google+ might not have grown as Google had hoped, but it can still boost your business&#8217; visibility online.&#8221;]\n<p>It may not have the largest audience share, but an optimised Google Plus page can help improve\u00a0the chances of people finding your business in search results thanks to integration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/learn\/google-my-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google My Business<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Knowledge_Graph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Knowledge Graph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph.png\" alt=\"knowledge graph\" width=\"1048\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph.png 1048w, https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph-1024x423.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><\/a><em>Google Knowledge Graph displays recent Google Plus posts, adding greater visibility for your brand<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/knowledge-graph.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Use the following tips to ensure you maximise the SEO value of your Google Plus business page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Optimise Your Profile<\/h2>\n<p>Fill out your Google Plus profile as completely as possible. Each section is a great opportunity to boost the relevance of your business, products and services. Tips to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/learn\/seo\">SEO<\/a> power to your profile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Include hyperlinks to your other online properties in your business description<\/li>\n<li>Include brand-relevant keywords in your tagline and introduction<\/li>\n<li>Use the links section to point to your other online content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Optimise Every Post<\/h2>\n<p>Google treats every new update like a whole new page, which can rank in Google Plus and in Google Search results.<\/p>\n<p>So use\u00a0the first line as a title with relevant keywords that you&#8217;re trying to rank for, and use asterisks before and after the first line of your post to make it appear in bold font.<\/p>\n<p>To gain more visibility include hashtags within the content, as these are used by Google to determine search results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Post Regularly<\/h2>\n<p>To build your following and attract natural links, you need to post share-worthy content regularly.<\/p>\n<p>After all, people will only add you to their circles and share your content if you offer something of value.<\/p>\n<p>Draw up a content schedule to make sure you have enough ideas to post frequently, and remember to respond to comments whenever they appear.<\/p>\n<p>Regular posts will also help contribute to the inclusion of your recent posts on Google Knowledge Graph. <a href=\"http:\/\/webmeup.com\/blog\/knowledge-graph.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about Google Plus and Knowledge Graph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Use Visuals<\/h2>\n<p>Boost your credibility and humanise your business by posting pictures of your company, employees, and products in action.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to correctly format the images with relevant alternative text to help Google understand the visuals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Build Your Connections<\/h2>\n<p>Use the Google Plus search bar to find other businesses and people in your industry, and add people to your circles to build your connections.<\/p>\n<p>When you reach a certain number of followers, this number will appear next to your link in Google Search results.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the more followers you have in your circles, the more authority you have with Google.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Create a Google Plus Community<\/h2>\n<p>Communities are an often overlooked feature of Google Plus. They&#8217;re similar to Facebook or LinkedIn Groups and help you connect with others in the same industry or with the same interests.<\/p>\n<p>Build brand awareness when you comment, share, and +1 other posts in each Community.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2>Ask for Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>Google favours businesses with more positive reviews, so encourage people to leave reviews when appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>If you do get negative reviews, be sure to address them quickly and confidently, and engage with your audience to see how you can improve your products and services.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/how-to-encourage-positive-customer-reviews\/\">Encouraging positive reviews<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Use Circles and Hangouts<\/h2>\n<p>With Google Plus Circles you can share and receive content with specific groups. Use Circles to segment all the people you follow into different groups.<\/p>\n<p>You can then choose to publish posts to specific Circles, based on information like gender or location.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3521 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/hang-outs.png\" alt=\"hangouts\" width=\"913\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/hang-outs.png 913w, https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/hang-outs-300x131.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With Hangouts &#8211; Google&#8217;s video chat service &#8211; you can gain exposure for your brand through live video.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies use Hangouts to host webinars, workshops, customer support sessions, and even product demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>In Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Although Google Plus has fewer users than Facebook and Twitter, it can still have a place in the SEO and social marketing campaigns of businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t think of it as an alternative to Facebook, but something that can be used alongside your usual marketing practices.
