Now that Google+ has opened pages up to businesses and
brands, I’ve set up my business
page for The Marketing Survivalist. Since I just got around to setting up my business page on Facebook
last week, this should be an interesting test to see which page gains more
traction.
My Facebook page has a head start because I have more contacts
on Facebook, and I already have a few posts. However, I’m still betting on
Google+. Given the importance of Google’s search engine, Google+ is already
mainstream in a lot of circles. (no pun intended) If you’re a marketer,
especially a freelancer like me, you’d be nuts not to be on Google+. If nothing
else, you need to be keeping an eye on it.
I’m really just beginning to explore Google+ but one of the
things I really like is the groups. It seems similar to LinkedIn, another favorite
site of mine, because it provides a platform for discussions with people with
similar interests. I don’t think facebook has anything similar or at least not
as sophisticated.
The one drawback to Google+ I’ve found so far is that you
don’t have the ability to customize your url – yet. According to everything I’ve
heard, they’re working on it though.
I invite you to visit my page, plus if you have your own
business page on either Facebook or Google+, let us know about it. And be sure
to let us know which horse you’re betting on!
