Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the answers all.  I learned a new term - 7 pack!

My client is not geographically sensitive, so the "Places" aspect doesn't matter to them.  So it sounds like going the G+ route is a bit roundabout for getting traffic to the site.  I'm a little stunned that after all the hype about G+, the responses here mirror what I'd been seeing.

I have a simple question - I've read a lot about how google+ pages are ranking well in google searches, and that it's a good idea to incorporate google+ into your strategy.

So I was on a call this morning, talking to a client about this.  The client brought up the fact that in all his google searches, he's NEVER seen a google plus page in the search results.  I realized that I never have either.  After some searches, I still don't see any google plus pages, at least not on page 1 or 2.  Am I missing something?  Needless to say, the client was not convinced about the value of having a G+ page, and I came away not sure what I was missing.

So how do people measure the impact of using google+ on their main website?
