During the initial launch, Google Plus was limited to personal
profiles unlike it’s rival Facebook which had a platform where brands
can create pages for themselves. Plus was then a platform for connecting
people to people and not with brands.During the initial phase it never
allowed Brands to Create profiles for themselves by imposing strict name
checks while creating the profile. In 2011 November Google however
released it’s equivalent of the Facebook Pages, which they have termed
as Google Plus Brand Pages.
Creating a Google Plus Brand Page is very easy, and you wont take more than a minute to do that.
Creating a Brand Page on Google Plus
If you want to create a Google Plus Brand page, head over to this link
https://plus.google.com/pages/create
You will be asked to pick a Category to which your business belongs.
Pick one of them. If you are not sure what category your business
belongs to, you can choose the “Other” Category as I did. You will be
asked to fill in some information like Name of the Page, and the URL of
your Blog. You can see that I have given
Skyurdu as the Page name and
http://www.Skyurdu.com as the link to my website.
Now you can enter a 10 word tag line and add a profile photo. The tag
line will be displayed on your Brand Page and it should be something
that gives a quick idea of what your Blog is all about. I have given my
Tagline as “Tutorials and Gadgets for Blogger”
The next step is the most important of all. By now your Brand Page
has been created and you have to let the world know of it. The first
thing that you could do is to let the people in your Circles know about
your Brand Page. The next screen will help you do just that.It will
prompt you to share your page with those in your circles. You can choose
whom do you want to share it with and post it to your Stream.
Click the Finish Button and you have successfully created your Google Plus Page. Wasn’t that dead simple?
