How to Use Google Plus for Marketing

With over 150 million active users, and 50% of all users logging into Google Plus daily, Google Plus is a social network you can’t ignore. Sure, it isn’t as popular as Facebook or Twitter, but it can help impact your search engine rankings in a positive way.

A few simple ways you can leverage Google Plus are:

1. Authorship – this is a great way to get your picture next to your listings in the search results.
2. Relationship marketing – with Google hangouts, you can connect to and get to know your fans.
3. Driving traffic – by building up your Google Plus profile, you can share content and news about your business. This is a simple way to drive more traffic to your business.

These are just the basics of how you can use Google Plus to your advantage. To expand on the idea, I’ve decided to create an infographic that lays out the steps you need to take to use Google’s social network for your marketing needs.
