This past Monday, Google+ finally made pages available to businesses. With over 40 million members on Google+, it is a great way to reach more consumers and broaden your audience. Creating a Google+ Page is easy if you follow a few simple steps:

1.  Create a Google+ profile. Make sure that this is created with a company account so more than one person can access it. As of right now there cannot be more than one admin on Google+

2. Create a Google+ Page. Once your profile is created, click on “Create a Google+ page”. From here you can pick a category for your business and customize additional information.
