Google has made big changes, stay informed and thrive.
Google+ is the newest social network that really matters (because it’s owned by Google), and every business in the world that cares about getting search traffic from Google had better take notice.
This is no small effort, and no half-hearted attempt at creating a social network to battle Facebook (remember Google Buzz?). The intelligent folks at Google have finally created a social network that has the potential to be a game-changer.
For the savvy Internet Marketer, Google+ has (or will soon) become THE place to be. The integration with other Google services makes it an essential tool for businesses, and the cultivation of the social aspects offers immense potential for interacting with your patients and promoting your practice in multiple channels.
Facebook and Twitter will have their piece of the social marketing pie for the foreseeable future, but their relevance will likely be an inverse relationship with the popularity of Google+.
Based on the minor rant above, we obviously feel that Google+ is going to be important, but what are the specific reasons that we think it’s going to be essential?
