How to create & setup a Business Page on Google+
Businesses are now allowed to create a page on Google+, thus giving you a presence on Google’s new social network that is similar to Facebook’s Pages.
To create and setup your page, login to your Google account then go to the Google+ tab in the top left hand corner. If you now scroll down to the bottom you will find the “create a page” button.
Google will now ask you to select the best category for your business, out of: Local Business or Place; Product or Brand; Company, Institution or Organisation; Arts, Entertainment or Sports; and Other.
Depending on the category you select you might have to select a sub category.
If you select Local Business you will also have to pinpoint your location.
Now enter a tagline for your new page and upload a photo or business logo. At this point Google gives you an option to tell any existing followers on your personal Google+ account about your new page.
That’s it; you can now create posts and upload photos and videos.
To promote your page, Google+ provides a badge that will take users directly to your Page, and which you can add to your website or other profiles. You will also get a unique URL on your homepage which you can share.
To get your badge or unique URL go to the “Get Started” button located under your main logo on the top left hand side.
Your badge can be found under “Connect your website”.
Your URL can be found under “Tell the world” header.
It is important to remember you cannot sell or lease a Page without Google’s permission.
