Setting up a google+ page for a decorating ideas business website
-
I am looking to set up a google + page for a decorating ideas website, should I create a business page or a community and where do circles fit in to this. Many thanks for your help I have seen how to set up but not sure where communities and circles fit in for business sites.
thanks

yes
you can. Log in as the business and add communities to participate in. If you look at my example above you can see that we post in the star wars community allot. For us it's fun getting to be creative with others who have the same interests.

Thanks for answering - can I do the communities element from the business page?

Definitely the business page first. This establishes a presence and complete listing about your business in the Google eco-system. Content you place can be shared in such a way that Google Search results will display snippets such as the number of reviews received and number of positive ones. Your decorating ideas website is ideal for the concept inherent in Communities -- sharing with others who share your passion for decorating. Perhaps others can chime in about the importance of Google Communities for SEO purposes. Like social media in general, the more time you spend the more links you are likely to gain to you site, thereby improving DA/PA.

Hi Penny,
Create a brand and verify the account. You can link your G+ to your site and whenever someone +1s your google business page or site you gain authority. You can follow, interact, and circle others as a business, which is great at getting more +1s.
Once you have your business page set up you can post as the actual business and gain more +1 to your page. We've managed to get 1.3k +1's to one of our sites in 3 weeks. We post as the brand in communities that are interested in similar things.

700+ Genuine likes in 4 Days on a new Site - Does it risk Google Spam?
Hi my site www.dealwithautism.com is a brand new site - only 2 months old and since Autism is a fairly competitive niche, id do not get more than 30 impression and 4-5 clicks for my 40+ pages on Google. However, recently I have become very active in the social platforms, so over the last week I am getting 200+ pageviews just from Facebook and Twitter, that not bad., I have recently created a post 21 apps for Autism https://www.dealwithautism.com/top-apps-for-autism/ Suddenly this post is generating a lot of interest and in the last 4 days I have received as many as 700+ likes (purely editorially) and it is growing in terms of 100s per day. How I acquired them? Well, firstly I believe it is a very good post. Secondly, I selected one of the Apps in the list as 5 star and editor's choice! Then twitted and Fb mentioned to that company on Twitter and Facebook. They returned the favour by re-tweeting and since they have tens of thousands of followers, my page immediately got traction. My question is this: Do I need to worry about Google turning a suspicious eye on me for being a new site getting too many social signals in too short time? Should I pull out the Like buttons for a while from my site to slow things down?? I am new to web development and not fully sure how Google would recognize social spam.

What if an employee leaves and removes Rel=Author verification from their Google Plus profile?
What if someone leaves your company and removes your site from their Google Plus profile (under "Contributor To"). Does that kill all the rel=author on the pages written by this former employee? (Should you use the email verification with employees to avoid this scenario? Email verification is a big hassle for us.)

Should the Google Plus button be sitewide?
Hi All, We are in the process of adding a Google Plus button to our site (to the header, sitewide) - at http://www.jewelleryoutlet.com.au/ My question is, should the button have behavioural characteristics that apply to the whole site, or only for that page that it is clicked on. Consider these scenarios: A customer clicks on the G+ button from the homepage - they then 'like' that page (our homepage, i.e. our site) A customer clicks on the G+ button from a category page - e.g. http://www.jewelleryoutlet.com.au/cheap-necklaces-s/1818.htm. Because the button is in the header and sitewide, should the customer be 'liking' http://www.jewelleryoutlet.com.au/ or http://www.jewelleryoutlet.com.au/cheap-necklaces-s/1818.htm? We are also adding a Google + button to the item template, e.g. on http://www.jewelleryoutlet.com.au/product-p/jn1003.htmsomewhere above the Add to Cart button. When they press the button in this instance, they are 'liking' only that page (which is how I would want the functionality to work). So my question is to do with point 2 above. Much like a Facebook 'like/fan count' type button that exists in the header of many sites, should the G+ button function the same way? E.g. if we have a count of 10 in the header on the homepage, then there is also a count of 10 sitewide? Or should this reset for every subsequent page that a customer lands on, and by pressing the G+ button on that page, they are 'liking' only that page. Which is better for SEO? Several different +1's to different pages (e.g. from the necklaces, bracelets and earrings category pages for a more natural structure) or several +1's all pointing to the homepage? Any help or suggestions regarding G+ button or the service in general would be much appreciated. Thanks
