For businesses who want to leverage Google+ to promote and market their business, there’s a sharp learning curve. The mechanics of the social network are different than others, and once you’ve mastered those, there’s still a unique culture that needs to be understood.
In essence, duplicating the same strategy that you’ve used on Facebook or Twitter isn’t going to work.
But for those who have questioned even the validity of Google+, there’s hope. Google+ is the second largest social network in the world, and is completely interegrated into the Google ecosystem. In short, Google+ is Google. And therefore businesses who hope to improve their Google rankings will surely benefit from an active presence on Google+.
So where do you begin?
