Your Google+ profile is a powerful device for communicating your identity, success, goals and interests to others. Major industry players now utilize their Google+ profile as a platform to establish their expertise and knowledge in a specified area. By doing so, consumers and clients begin to respect those who have established powerful profiles on Google+.
The Google+ user base has nearly doubled in recent years. Despite the vast amount of users on the Google+ network, only a handful of users update their profiles regularly. This is actually a positive thing for industry leaders, and entrepreneurs since they still have time to take advantage of a platform that is in its development phase. Because there are few competing ideas on the Google+ network, an individual can quickly and easily climb to the top as a respected leader or valuable source of knowledge.
Google+: The Backbone of All Online Authorship
Another reason you need to consider updating your Google+ profile is so that you can become a ranked author by Google's search engine. You can post links to articles that you publish on your Google+ profile, and search engines will pick up on the content that you produce. As you continue to produce content, your name may become picked up and recognized by search engines as a reputable author in a particular field.
Post Links to Your Google+ Account
It does not require a significant time investment to make Google+ work for you. In less than 10 minutes a day, you can put Google+ to work for your various websites and social media accounts. Adding a +1 button to your blog or website is a great starting point for those who have recently started to share content to Google+. The +1 button has several functions, and it can allow users to comment their thoughts and re-share content. You can also immediately add individuals to your "circle" who may share similar interests. Other leading experts also have the ability to add you to their "circle” as well. An added bonus is that you can instantly start a hangout session or event when you install the +1 button on a website.
