Google+ Pages, Local Business Pages or Brand Product Pages Released Today!


Everyday there is something new on Google+. After successful launch of Google+ one of the most sought after feature was Google+ pages a.k.a. business pages or brand pages.

Couple of weeks ago in web 2.0 summit, Google’s Vic Gundotra and Sergey Brin announced that quite new features coming to Google+ including the new google+ pages in a matter of days and the day has arrived.

As expected, Google announced the launch of Google+ pages and started to roll out in phases. After hearing the news we tried to create a page for Google-Plus.com but unfortunately got an message Google+ Pages isn’t ready for everyone. We understood pages feature was not enabled for our google+ account and decided to give couple of hours before trying again. After some time we tried and it worked as expected.

So far with all the current Google+ features, it was all about connecting people to people (friends, family, colleagues, etc.).
