Over the past couple of months I have been debating the value of Google+ Business pages with various people within the Google+ Community. While there are many reasons why Google + Business pages are an inferior product to Facebook and LinkedIn, I will only focus on one glaring example:
There is a tremendous amount of spam posting going happening within the Google+ social media platform. Is Google itself the cause of this? I think it might be so.
Lately I have seen more and more people question the importance of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for their business and this caused me to reflect on the role of SEO in my own business success.
LinkedIn has long been a standard bearer as a “must” social media platform if you are a serious business person. One of the great benefits has been the value of their discussion groups. Now Google+ has recently launched their Communities pages which are their version of discussion groups.
It is hard to believe that the same company that gave us the Google+ “Hangout” (brilliant) also gave us Google+ Business pages (useless). Why doesn’t Google+ “Get It” when it comes to social media for business?
