As 2013 progresses, Google is increasingly pushing the use of Google+, so it is becoming more and more important to know how it works and how we can get the most out of it in terms of digital marketing for companies. In this article we will discuss How to create/manage a business profile on Google+.
First of all: to create a business profile on Google+ You need to have a user account Google (personal). As with Facebook, you cannot create a business listing without a personal profile.
Go to your profile and look for a square icon that says “Pages.” It should be in the menu bar to the left of your profile. If you don’t see “Pages” in the bar, click on “More” to see more icons… there you should find the “Pages” button and by clicking on it, you should see the “Create New Page” button. Click on it to get started.
As with Facebook, there are different types of pages:
- The local business one.
- That of product or brand.
- The company or institution
- The music groups
- …and other types.
Each has its own features. Choose the one that suits your business (if you want users to be able to check in from their mobile phones, then select “Local Business”.
To fill out the form, follow the instructions in Google+.
Once you have completed your profile, you will be able to see it on the screen that has already been created. Look in the upper right corner, there you will see the company logo and this is an indication that you are logged in as a company, not as an individual. To change this, just click next to the logo and your personal profile icon will appear.
Review all the data and fill in any missing information.
Don't forget to link the URL you indicated when filling out the form to your company's website. To do this you must use Google Webmasters.
Check out the settings as well (click the “gear” icon on the right side of the page). From there you can change notification settings and also manage who the admins of this page are. In this section you can also transfer ownership of the page if necessary.
Several people can be managed from one person profile. Google+ pages.
I hope this information is useful to you.

Hello, when I create my business page it automatically takes my email address as default, can I change this address on the business page? Also, can I have a different YouTube channel than my personal one, only linked to this page?
Hello Miguel.
Yes, you can change the email address of your Facebook page. In fact, you can make any other email address the administrator email address of your page. And you can change the email address of your YouTube account as well. You can have a personal YouTube channel and other business channels, but they are linked to Google+ profiles and pages, not Facebook.
I hope I have been of help to you.
Sorry for the delay in replying, there is a lot of spam in the comments and I have a hard time finding the real ones.

I do have Google+ but as a person and can I send it to a company? According to Google+, my business is managed, but how do I know who manages it?
It's difficult to know who manages a company because it probably comes from Google Places and most likely came from Yellow Pages.
So the easiest solution is to claim it if you don't allow it to enter. They will be able to prove either by phone or by physical letter that the owner and the keys will donate access to the unit and you will be able to change the details or expand them.
See if you have any problems with the issue of claiming compensation… let me know if you have any problems.
