Google Authorship helps Google understand who is writing that piece of content and what influence they have in that topic.    If as an author you connect your blog or other contents to your Google+ profile, i will allow Google or let’s say Google search to consider your entire body of that content written by you.

This is a fantastic opportunity for marketers investing in authority building and social media, they can positively influence the search visibility of their products or contents.

3. Use Google plus:

Many of you may by now might be raising an eyebrow about Google plus, as often viewed as the Facebook wannabe. But, it is not going away soon. Google Plus is Google’s social networking platform, which has evolved since its  launch in 2011 and now it has become much more than a social networking platform.  In fact, it’s becoming more and more important for businesses to actively engage and grow on this platform. As an example when you search on Google you will notice that Google plus is linked to a search profile or it comes up with the post. I will recommend  you to use Google plus for business actively as posting on Google plus automatically entitles you to receive free ad space when users search for you on Google.

Google plus also enables local business owners to link their Google plus business page with their Google Places for Business page (earlier known as Google Places), and their website. This directly enables businesses to connect with customers via Google Search, or on mobile devices, and thus put businesses in charge of their brand. Depending on the nature of your Google plus business page, rich snippets of information may be displayed to enhance the appearance of your brand and encourage engagement. You will also be able to provide accurate information and company updates to the end user directly via the search results page.
