In Australia Google is the number one website, it is where
the vast majority of people are going when they are shopping around. Google My
Business is a free listing enabling businesses to place themselves on Google
Maps and be available for customers in their local area.
As confusing as it sounds Google+ is now tied in with Google
My Business. This means that you need to start focusing more of your online
activity on your Google+ Account.
- The things you post on your Google+ account are going to be seen by more potential customers than Facebook and Twitter
Most people still don't take Facebook or Twitter seriously
when they are looking for services to buy. This is because these social media
giants are used mainly for pleasure more than anything else.
- Google rewards businesses with well ran Google+ account by showing their Google Places page on the front page of the Google Search
Google+ offers a great opportunity for businesses to show
themselves off. User interaction is still quite low because Google+ has not
taken off with the mainstream (and probably never well). But what is important
to note is that if a business has a well ran Google+ account, their business
will have a better presence on the front page of Google.
