| Grow your audience with Google+ Posted: 07 Nov 2011 10:40 AM PST Webmaster Level: All At Google, we help grow your audience by connecting you with new users. We introduced the +1 button so your site would stand out on search and your users could easily share your content on Google+. But, sometimes you want to join the conversation and post content directly to where people are sharing. Today we're introducing Google+ for Business, a collection of tools and products that help you grow your audience. At the core of this is Google+ Pages, your site's identity on Google+. Google+ Pages: Have real conversations with the right people To get your site on Google+, you first need to create a Google+ Page. On your page, you can engage in conversations with your visitors, direct readers back to your site for the latest updates, send tailored messages to specific groups of people, and see how many +1's you have across the web. Google+ Pages will help you build relationships with your users, encouraging them to spend more time engaging with your content.  Google+ Pages are at the heart of Google+ for Business Hangouts   Hangouts let you meet your customers, face-to-face Circles  The Google+ badge: Grow your audience on Google+ To help your users find your page and start sharing, there are two buttons you can add to your site by visiting our Google+ badge configuration tool:  The Google+ icon, a small icon that directly links to your Page.  The Google+ badge, which we're introducing in the coming days. This badge lets people add your page to their circles without leaving your site, and allows them to get updates from your site via Google+. Extend the power of +1, stand out in Google search You can also link your site to your Google+ page so that all your +1s -- from your Page, your website, and search results -- will get tallied together and appear as a single total. Potential visitors will be more likely to see the recommendations your site has received, whether they're looking at a search result, your website, or your Page, meaning your +1's will reach not only the 40 million users of Google+, but all the people who come to Google every day. You can link your site to your Page either using the Google+ badge or with a piece of code. To set this up, visit our Google+ badge configuration tool.
