This thread reflects the 2013 mindset about using Google+ to influence search results. Posts from , , and show why businesses chased Google+ back then. The consumer Google+ product was shut down in April 2019, so older tactics based on a company Google+ page are now obsolete (Google+).

Current, practical steps for local and organic visibility center on Google Business Profile and solid SEO fundamentals rather than a defunct social product. Key moves include claiming and verifying the Business Profile, keeping NAP (name, address, phone) and hours accurate, selecting precise categories, encouraging and responding to reviews, and using photos and posts in the Business Profile to surface in Maps and local packs (). Parallel work should address content quality, backlinks, mobile friendliness, and technical health following Google Search Central guidance (Google Search Central).

Quick checklist:

  • Migrate any important profile information into the Google Business Profile and remove or archive obsolete Google+ assets.
  • Add LocalBusiness schema where appropriate and validate with Search Console tools.
  • Prioritize content that earns links and solves user intent; treat social engagement as amplification, not a direct ranking shortcut.
  • Audit site speed, mobile UX, and crawlability against Search Central recommendations.
