How to Create a Google+ Page

Setting up a Page is a simple process that should take no more than five minutes.

Step 1. Go to the Google+ Business Page and click the blue "Create Your Google+ Page" button.
Step 2. Pick a relevant business category and add your information. The categories to choose from are: "Local Business or Place," "Product or Brand," "Company, Institution or Organization," "Arts, Entertainment or Sports," and "Other."
If those sound familiar, it's because they mirror almost verbatim the same categories used by Facebook in its Pages platform. I was especially surprised by the use of the term "Place," as that has been a Facebook staple for sometime.

Step 3. Add a tagline, upload a profile banner, click the "Continue" button and your page is created.
Once that's done, Google+ gives you the opportunity to share the page with your circles. The post will come from the individual who set up the page, not the page itself.

How to Use Google+ Pages for Business

During the page creation process, only a small amount of information is requested, so you will need to add more content to your profile "About" page. Options include providing introductory information, contact information, a link to the website and links to other recommended sites.

The types of information available depend on the category chosen. For example, if you choose Local Business or Place, you can add operating hours. You can also set the visibility to determine who sees what information.

Once the business page has been created, there are six primary activities you can engage in.

Post status updates. Posting content will probably be the primary way you use Google+. Also, like Facebook, Google+ allows page owners to interact as the "page," not as the individual.

Link your Google+ Page to your website. Google+ provides a badge that connects to your page, which can be embedded on your website. This brings more visibility to your Google+ page and helps to increase the number of recommendations (+1s).

Build your Circles. Once users add your page to their circles, you can add them to yours. Google+ automatically provides pages with a set of circles, including: Following, Customers, VIPs, and Team Members. You can also create other circles, if needed.

Start a Hangout. Hangouts are live video chats through which you can connect directly to up to nine other people.

Add the +1 button to your website. When Google+ users click the button, it is shared with their circles.

Add Google+ Direct Connect, if eligible. This is an experimental feature that is currently only available to large brands. However, Google will be making the feature more widely available over time. For those who qualify, Google requires that a link be present from the merchant's website to the Google+ business page.
