Category Archives: Google+

Yesterday we held our very first Question & Answer session on our Facebook page, the subject was Search Engine Optimisation. We fielded some very good questions and thought it would be a good idea to have a round up here on the blog so we could spread the information but also so that we could go into our answers with a little more depth and provide some interesting links for people.

Accountancy is a competitive industry, as you will well know, so gaining any sort of competitive advantage is essential for the survival and growth of your business. When it comes to potential customers sourcing accountancy services online one of the main ways to ensure they call, or email, you rather than a competitor is to have plenty of reviews on 3rd party sites like Google+ Local, Qype and IzzBox.

This is going to be a relatively brief post and is in reaction to a few questions and answers I have come across this weekend regarding Google+ and businesses. I recently came across a question from a small business owner (an accountant) who was wondering whether it was worth his time to set up, optimise and maintain a Google+ business page, he complained that maintaining a Twitter and Facebook account was time consuming enough. The advice that he received took me a little by surprise, he was advised that Google+ was a complete waste of time and that he was better off investing his efforts into his ongoing Twitter and Facebook pages. Now you may well be asking “so what? nobody uses Google+ anyway!” and if you are then this blog post is aimed specifically at you.
