Facebook and Twitter take up most of the media coverage when it comes to social marketing, but how familiar are you with the relatively new platform in the social media arena, “Google Plus” (Google+)? I bet you didn’t know that recently Forrester reported that Google+ has just as many U.S. users as Twitter…that’s right, the same number of people tweeting and mentioning on Twitter are chatting and streaming on Google+.
Google+ has gained more and more popularity among marketers and business owners as they realize the value of the network and how it plays a big part in how their companies are found online.
If you are not an active Google+ user, here are 3 (out of many) reasons why you should reconsider:
1. Better Search = Better Business
There’s no question that Google is the King of online search. There’s no doubt that creating and managing a page for your business on Google+ will help your rankings and visibility. Furthermore, the overall search functionality is more advanced than it’s competitors, besides, it’s what Google was built on!
2. +Galleries
+Galleries offer simple uploading, organizing, editing and sharing of your photos. It was built with Responsive Web Design in mind so it will scale your photos wherever you want to put it. +Galleries is great for on-the-go users as it was designed for today’s touch devices! You can instantly add photos to your website, post them to your blog or share them on social media platforms. You can even enhance and edit photos all from one centralized lotion.
3. Your One Spot Stop
This may be the most obvious of the three, but it’s also probably the most important! Who isn’t a Google User these days in one way or another? The fact is, you’re probably a Google User even if you don’t know it. It’s a no-brainer to add Google+ to the mix if you’re already using one or more of Google’s other services, such as: Gmail, Google Docs, Picasa, Google Analytics, etc.
