What\u2019s your reaction when someone mentions Google Plus to you? Mine begins with an eye roll, follows with a yawn and ends with a slow stretch. Notwithstanding this feeling, the marketer in me realizes the importance of Google Plus to our business. I\u2019m reminded of an interview we did with\u00a0Scott Frangos<\/a>,\u00a0Content Marketing Strategist & President of WebDirexion. \u00a0I can still hear Scott\u2019s words today:<\/p>\n

Remember that Google+ IS Google.<\/strong>\u00a0It is not just another social media network \u2014 it is at the heart of all things Google. Your advantage is that you don\u2019t always have to be logged into G+ to take advantage of amplification and reach options.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I understand the importance and can\u2019t deny the fact that with over 150\u00a0Million active users\u00a0and 50% of all users\u00a0logging into Google Plus daily, Google Plus is\u00a0a social media network you can\u2019t ignore. Truth is, it isn\u2019t as popular as Facebook or Twitter, which only adds to my lack of excitement as one of my go to social media platforms, but undeniably, it can help\u00a0impact your search engine rankings<\/a>\u00a0in a VERY positive way.<\/p>\n

To help visualize\u00a0how you can use Google Plus to your advantage, Quicksprout\u00a0created\u00a0the following\u00a0infographic that lays out the steps you need to take to\u00a0use Google\u2019s social network for your marketing needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First, The Conclusion: You Can\u2019t Ignore Google Plus<\/h3>\n

Jumping directly to the conclusion from Quicksprout,\u00a0whether you like or hate Google Plus, you have no choice but to leverage it.\u00a0Why?<\/em>\u00a0Because Google owns it!\u00a0<\/strong>As the most popular site in the world, Google can really help boost your revenue. Having the top rankings can mean the difference between being in business and being out of business. Because the search giant owns this social media network, you\u2019re better off using it. It can impact how well your site does in the organic listings.<\/p>\n
