Small Business Owners: Google+ Matters More Than You Might Realize

Small Business Owners: Google+ Matters More Than You Might Realize

When Google+ first appeared on the scene, the response from small business owners was, at best, underwhelming. Who wanted –or needed? – another social media network to manage?

Google+’s value was not proven, where more familiar platforms like Facebook and Twitter were delivering results in terms of both brand-building and actual sales. There certainly seemed to be more public enthusiasm around emerging visually-oriented platforms, like Pinterest and Vine. If there was one social network it seemed safe to ignore, Google+ was it.

But now things are changing. Google has made changes to the Google+ platform, significantly extending the reach of every piece of content Google+ users put online. If content marketing is part of your messaging strategy, you’re going to want to know this. Author attribution definitively ties your messaging to your company, no matter how widely it is shared. The ability to embed Google+ posts in your business website, similar to Facebook’s embed function, can maximize the value of every piece of content you create and share. Google+ is rapidly becoming extremely relevant to the small business owner.

If you’ve been on the fence about Google+, believe me when I tell you that now is the time to give this social networking platform another look. In terms of delivering extended reach, connecting your content with the widest possible number of people and effectively sharing your messaging, Google+ is poised to become the most powerful option you have available to you.
