Google+. More specifically, a Google+ business page.


Google+, if used effectively, can be a great tool to have and utilized in your SEO arsenal. But there are three major things you need to keep in mind to ensure optimal results.

1. What's in a name?


Everything! Make sure your company name, logo and URL are all present on your page. People will be searching for that name, so make sure the SEO title is your company name. You can also get a custom URL to make it even easier to find you. How? Just click on About, Links, then click on the link. Or sometimes you'll get offered this feature after posting for around a month or so. Oh, and make sure your profile and cover pics are flawless and beautiful. Nothing says "amateur" like fuzzy pics.

2. Tag, you're it!


Make sure your tagline and the first two sentences of your intro on your page are stellar. These will be used as you SEO meta description, and need to tell your company's story in 160 characters or less. Need to edit your current one? No problem! Simply click on Manage this page, Edit page, Edit in the story area, and then make your changes. (P.S.-Don't forget to save!)
