Google Pus Places, page and youtube issues. PLEASE HELP!!!
-
Ok I have a youtube channel, a page connected to that and I have a business listing but I cannot get all three to work together. Any ideas?
https://plus.google.com/+CentralsaddleryCoUk is the page (I want to ad the location to this one)
http://www.youtube.com/user/centralsaddleryvideo our youtube
The two above seem to work fine but the local listing below will not connect to the page or youtube.
https://plus.google.com/b/107598085314018001171/107598085314018001171/about?hl=en-GB
This has been driving me nuts for ages.

Hi Mark,
No, not stupid at all. Integration of Google's products is definitely a work in progress that has left tons of people confused! I hope the TCs in the Google forum may have some guidance for you. Good luck, and if you get an answer, I'd appreciate you coming back to update this thread with what you've learned.

I'm glad its not just me being stupid. I really want to make Google plus work for my business but Google seems set on making it hard for us.
Ill ask on the google forums. i already had a look but found nothing useful.
It just seems crazy that you can't combine every to have a neat and tidy setup.

Hi Mark,
No wonder this is driving you nuts. I'm not sure what you want to do can currently be done, and I've spent the last ten minutes trying to find recent documentation of this and am coming up without clear guidelines. It would be super if someone within our community has recently accomplished what Mark wants to do and can describe the process, or describe that it's not possible.
Mark, given the lack of apparent documentation of this from recent times, I think your best bet is to post your question in the Google And Your Business Forum in hopes that one of the TCs there will be able to dig up something that offers guidance here. Go to:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business
This is a search I did. Maybe you'll see something in it that I didn't notice:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/business/youtube$20and$20google$2B$20local
You might also try:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/google%2B local youtube
I hope this offers some help, and I'm sorry not to have a clear document to point you to. It could be that I'm simply unaware of it.

Blog posts copied to Facebook or Linked? Any Duplicate Content Issues?
I wasnt able to find any good answers on this. I have two separate ecommerce websites, one with a top level blog. (www.xyz.com/blog) and different website with a subdomain blog (blog.xyz.com)***note on the subdomain blog, although it links to our website. You cannot directly shop from it. Until i can make some sort of scraper, its what I have to work with. For quite some time now I have been copying the blog posts and re-creating them on facebook as a Note. Using the same anchor text/links on facebook as my blog post. Part of the issue is that I want the facebook pages to have some content and not just links. Both get 2-3 updates per week, 1 of those being a blog re-post. Does anyone know if google or bing considers this duplicate content? Should I simply link directly to the blog everytime, as a best practice? Any insight on this would be great. Thanks!

Google+ I set up a profile as my business a while back. Should I change to a page NOW?
A while back, can't remember when, I set up a profile page under my business name. It has recently started picking up a bit of momentum but I am concerned it is not in line with Google's policy and will eventually get removed. I don't want to invest any more effort into this profile if this is likely so am looking at moving my efforts to a page. Any ideas / recommendations? Thanks,

Focus Facebook Likes and +1 to URL or Page?
We are considering adding the +1 and facebook like widget to the footer of all our pages, but we can't decide whether to point them to our URL or to our respective Google Plus / Facebook Page. Ideally, we would prefer poiting them to our pages instead of our site URL, but I'm not so sure if we would get as much SEO advantage that way. I was looking for feedback towards the SEO advantages / disadvantages of this at what strategy you guys use. For example: Having +1 our URL would be shown to their friends at the organic results. Having +1 our page would grow our profile, allowing us to communicate with them and would also enable people search +Duplika at Google (like it happens with big brands). What do you suggest?

Is facebook and twitter always a good idea to promote a website and improve Google rankings?
I'm attempting to promote a fresh seafood market / restaurant here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have not found a lot of examples of people using Twitter and Facebook to promote this type of business here. Is it hard to justify the time for return here? One benefit I thought for twitter is we could have tweets displayed on site giving us some dynamic content which would hopefully keep Google spider coming back more regularly is this correct? Is there any link building advantage to using these social media sites?
