Short answer: back in 2012 a Google+ page and the +1 button offered some visible benefits (mainly personalization and social proof), but they were never a universal, standalone SEO shortcut. The quick replies here captured parts of that: was right that +1s mattered more for people you were connected to, and was right that a single click by itself won’t move a site from Page 10 to Page 1. pointed to related discussion in the forum.

How it worked (brief): +1s created social annotations that could appear in search results for signed‑in users who had social ties to the person or page that +1’d. That could improve click‑through rate (CTR) for those users. Google also tied some publisher/author experiments to Google+ at the time, which affected snippets and visibility — those programs were later retired.

What matters today: consumer Google+ is no longer a viable channel, so creating a new Google+ page is obsolete. Current priorities that actually move the needle are: claim and optimize your Google Business Profile, verify your site in Google Search Console, fix mobile and speed issues, use structured data where appropriate, publish useful content that answers real user intent, and build credible backlinks and email lists.

Quick practical checklist:

  • Track real impact before investing time: measure referral traffic, CTR, and conversions from any social channel.
  • If an old G+ page still sends traffic, migrate followers to active channels and your email list.
  • Focus resources on platforms where the target audience actually engages and on on‑site technical/UX health.

This gives context to the short answers in the thread and explains why +1 clicks alone were never a reliable SEO strategy.

I think it is only beneficial if for people you are connected to on Google+1, otherwise it has no effect
