Why do I need Google+ ?

Google+ has changed the search engines forever = FACT!

When you go into Google, as over 85% of us do in the UK, you will notice that the search engine results pages (SERPs) without exception have Google+ results spanning page 1 – 3 and pretty much every SERP thereafter. This means that part of the Google algorithm for organic listings includes Google+ and more significantly a weighting towards wanting to include a mixed set of results to the user that in most instances will include Google+ pages/results.

This means that IF you want to increase the likelihood of having your business appear in Google then you should start thinking very seriously about marketing your business on Google+. I haven’t mentioned ROI yet but a heads up.. ROI for Google+ marketing is amazing – mainly because it’s FREE’.
