Google+, the newcomer to Social Media Marketing.

Have you created a Google+ Page either for yourself personally or as a business? This relatively “new baby” in social media marketing  shouldn’t be ignored and already marketers are reviewing the impact this has on business.

In summary, after surveying the top pages on Google+, Social Media Examiner found there were several themes or practices that appeared to lead to successful engagement and those key insights were:

  1. The most interactive content includes rich media that offers up something unpredictable and unique.
  2. Knowing your audience and staying “on message” by giving them what they want is a sure way to boost engagement.
  3. Posts based upon recent news events, trending topics and other time-sensitive content tend to be share-worthy.
  4. Creating and promoting a GREAT deal on your products can engage your community, but watch activity carefully as these types of campaigns appear to have a shorter lifespan.
  5. Currently, the Google+ landscape is saturated with technology-themed content, with the related disciplines of science and IT among the most active.
  6. Keeping your campaign calls to action clearly visible on your Google+ page can help with campaign success.

So it pays to think about Google+ in your social media marketing mix.
