If you weren’t able to watch the webinar with Google on getting your business on Google+, here is the YouTube link.
Google+ is another social tool to connect with your customers. They have made it easy to create a page then have specific “Circles” for everyone interested in your page (i.e. New Owners, Sales Staff, Service Gurus, Followers of New Models, etc). Also you will be able to host “Hangouts” over live video chat with your followers to directly connect them to your dealership, specific car or other feature you would like to showcase.
Once you have created your Google+ page, you are able to create buttons for your website and other digital assets to link your page. This will help more people connect with you. There are currently 40 M people on Google+ and it is the fasted growing social site. Google has also made it easy to track who is +1 your page and resharing information you post by using their Webmaster Tools and Ripples. Also when connecting with followers, you can use hashtags to track what people are saying and interact with your customers.
Google has already enabled people to search with “+” before a name to go directly to your Google+ page. People will be able to bypass other information on the web to see if you have a Google+ page. People are also able to +1 pages which will show recommendations by your friends. This will start becoming more powerful as more people use the feature and will be able to see many people recommend the same site.
