SME Victoria presents - Social Media For Business: Put the “+” in Google+
Feb 23, 2012
Union Club of Victoria, Victoria
With the recent launch of Google+ "Brand Pages" and a feature called "Direct Connect", Google is firmly integrating (+) into its dominant search platform.
"Direct Connect" allows searchers to insert a “+” before their query and jump directly to a business’s Google+ page. Type “+YouTube” into your Google search box, and Google will take you straight to YouTube’s G+ page.
These two factors give Google+ users and any “brand page” a competitive advantage when it comes to search visibility. In this presentation Chris will show you how easy it is to get started and help you put the "+" in Google+ for your organization.
Is your business on Google+? Are your competitors?
