With more than 100 million monthly active desktop and mobile users, Google+ is quickly becoming a world leader in social media. Also, because Google+ serves as a core part of Google functionality, it definitely deserves your marketing attention.

Setting up your Google+ business page early in the website development process ensures greater brand visibility as soon as your new website goes live. If your website is already live, Google+ can help attract more visitors!

Steps To Set Up A Google+ Page

1. Create A Personal Google Account

Before you set up your business page, you’ll need to create a personal Google account, if you don’t already have one. You will be asked to enter your current email address, password and verification code.
