Short, critical update first: consumer Google+ was shut down on April 2, 2019 and consumer content was removed, so advice that presumes an active Google+ audience (this whole thread) no longer applies as-is. The engagement tactics recommended by , and others (join communities, be useful, don’t spam) remain good principles — but they need to be applied on living platforms or in channels you control, not on Google+. . ()

If you owned Google+ content or pages, export and archive everything you can using Google Takeout (takeout.google.com) right away; some consumer G+ data was deleted at shutdown and is not recoverable. Brand/brand‑account assets that were tied into other Google products (for example YouTube brand accounts) survived — check those connections and recover any usable assets before you rebuild elsewhere. ()

For organizations that used Google+ via Workspace: the enterprise product Currents was wound down and its communities were migrated into Spaces (Google Chat). Most migrations completed in 2023 and remaining Currents data was removed; Workspace admins should follow Google’s migration guidance and final notices. ()

Practical next steps (apply these now rather than chasing a defunct platform):

  1. Export your G+ content with Takeout and archive it. ()
  2. Create an owned follow channel (email newsletter) and use your highest‑value posts as lead magnets — social followers are “rented”, email is owned. HubSpot and industry guides show using social to drive signups is the most durable play. (blog.hubspot.com)
  3. Claim/optimize Google Business Profile and your YouTube/brand accounts (where relevant) as canonical public channels. ()
  4. Update your site (replace broken Google+ badges), pin a migration post where community members can opt into your newsletter or alternative communities, and always request explicit opt‑in (respect privacy laws).

This preserves relationships and traffic you built on Google+ and puts effort into platforms and channels that still deliver long‑term value.

Post rich content on google+ page and share with your friends. Add friends on your circles. Add back peoples who already added you.

I don't have too many followers on Google+ (only over a thousand), but have had over 9 million views to my page and tons of traffic from my posts. The first thing you have to decide is which one do you want, numbers or action. Decide who your audience is. Then, join groups that cater to that audience, and without spamming or pestering anyone, begin to share meaningful, great content and to make friends. WITH TIME, you will see followers and also views. The problem is that most people want that to happen overnight, and it takes time, and WORK.

Hi,
Use Google+ as micro blog & post rich content,
share your page content with your profile,
use of hash tag is good idea,
Ask to follow.
all these technique help in increasing followers & also popularity.

You should follow those accounts who have lots of followers and you should share interesting stuff, you can ask them for follow and you shouldn't show shayness for this.

Optimize your profile.
Write about yourself so that other users can know you better.
Join relevat groups.
Pot relevant post in the groups and actively participate.
Post value adding comments in other's post that will help you establish yourself as a leader.

Once people will make you out, your followers will start increasing.
It's not a one day work or week. You have to devote your time daily to build reputation.

also join Google Plus communities and engage with others posts as well as post yours - if you just throw up your own pages it really looks like a drive by and you will not get much taction but if you engage by commenting on others and plusing you will grow your followers
