The Importance of Google+ Page Management

You may think you have your bases covered if you've got a website, Facebook and Twitter for your small or medium sized business, but if you're neglecting Google+ (Google Plus), you're really missing out on some prime opportunities. While simply signing up for Google's social network is beneficial in its own right, actually using it, and using it right, can send your business straight to the top, helping you be found by people in your community searching for the services you offer. With more than 343 million active users, Google+ falls quite short of Facebook's total users, but nearly 75 million more people use G+ than Twitter on a regular basis. In order to reach millions of potential customers you may otherwise miss you need to be active on your business' G+. Letting a marketing professional handle your G+ management is a surefire way to unlock all of the benefits of Google+ in order to see heightened results, as they will utilize quality content to help more people find your business in multiple ways.
Higher organic search results
Google loves it when you use their own tools. As an active and verified Google+ member Google will automatically list your business higher in search results. With nearly 70 percent of all Internet searches conducted on Google, signing up for and using G+ is the simplest way to increase your search ranking.
Increased off page SEO
It is crucial that your website is search engine optimized (SEO) to help boost your rankings in search results on all search engines, but an active Google+ page can assist with off page SEO. Off page SEO is optimized content that isn't on your website, but directs people to it. Anything that is posted on your Google+ business page is immediately indexed by Google, meaning that particular content can be found in search results, even if the website itself isn't. This is great, especially if you're letting an Internet marketing team handle your G+, as they will fill your page with valuable content and links to your business' website, putting more customers at your doorstep.
Encourage reviews
Reviews, reviews, reviews. In the age of the Internet, they seem to mean more than anything, even "Best Of" awards from local and regional organizations. Google will look at your site's reviews and +1s, the Google version of the "Like," to assist with search rankings. Your G+ manager will encourage your customers to leave positive reviews, helping you to show higher in Google search results.
Increased local results
As a business that relies on customers walking through the door it is crucial that you show up in local search results. An active and verified Google+ page includes address verification, which allows Google to know your location and point people in your area to your business when searching for the services you provide.
