There are four simple profile
customizations you can do to maximize your Google+ exposure… (Tweet this)

**To edit your profile page, you must view your profile as yourself.**

1.
Improve Your Profile Tagline
In your Google+ profile About page,
scroll down to Story and click edit (near the bottom of the section). Write a tagline that captures what you, your
voice, and your writing is about. This
enables viewers to quickly see what you are all about. Be specific. This is not the place to be frivolous.
2. Include Key Words
Google combines your tagline and the first
two sentences of your introduction for their metadata search, so make the first
two lines about what you want viewers--again potential readers--to know about
you and your writing.
Google+ allows you to keep your points
clear and easy to follow with bullet points. Use them to list your published books or awards that you’ve won.
3.
Claim Your Custom URL
After you’ve had your Google+ page for a
month and you have more than ten followers in your Circles, Google+ rewards you
with a customized URL. Make sure to
claim this URL and use it on business cards, on your website, your blog, and
more.
4.
Add Links-To and From
When blogging or updating a webpage, be
sure to add your customized URL. When
inserting it as a hyperlink, tick the add ‘rel+nofollow’ attribute in the
hyperlink box. This will enhance your
posts search results and increase your click through rates.
