Using Google + Communities for your Business

You have probably heard of countless people creating communities on Google plus. You might be part of the group that is asking yourself “what is the benefit?” or “is it even worth my time?” Here are some reasons why you should get your Google plus community up and running today!

Social Media

When you are trying to build a reputation with your customers and clients, it is important to really get out there and strive to connect with them on a personal level. That is the purpose of Facebook, twitter, and Google plus. All of these social media accounts have some specific bonuses. Why would any self-respecting business limit their progress by not reaching out through these great tools?

Become the Expert

When you create a page, you have the opportunity to set yourself apart as the expert in the industry. This won’t happen if you are always posting links, your company services, and other spammy things. Find out what your customers want to learn about the industry. Get them engaged in the conversations and make sure that you are answering their questions and responding to them as they engage.

Ultimately it is important to really connect with your customers and this is the best way to do that. There are so many ways to get your customers engaged. Remember that every time you do, you are building your reputation as an expert and building friendships that will add to your business in the future.
