Here are a few tips for Google+ that I thought were pretty good and wanted to pass along.
How to Bold Something in a Status Update
This is pretty cool and I stumbled across this on the Web, but can’t remember where. To bold something specific like a keywords or hashtag in a Google+ update surround the text with a +. For example I want to bold AdWords Services in an update, I use this syntax +AdWords Services+. Check it out in your own account and you’ll see that once published it will appear as AdWords Services.
You may want to try bolding your Google+ hashtags or keywords to see if this helps you with Search Engines and indexing.
How to Hashtag Something in Google+
On Twitter you use # in front of a no space hashtag to let Twitter know that they should index your tweet with a special search phrase. For example referring to my business name on Twitter I would use #McCordWebServices. Note I have no spaces between words. On Google+ you will use #McCordWebServices also and your updates will appear tied to that search.
How to Mention Someone in Google+
When you want to link to and mention someone in Facebook or Twitter you use @mccordweb. Note the @ in front of their name? On Google+ you will +mccordweb or + and then name the person.
Verify Your Google+ Business Page with Google
To make sure that Google knows which business is yours. Make sure to verify your business page with Google using this online verification tool. This will allow Google to know who you are and may speed your ability to create a vanity URL for your Google+ pages.
