Google+ “Pages” For Businesses Coming Soon

One thing that is presently missing in Google+ is profiles for brands and organizations. If news reports are to be believed, businesses and brands will soon be able to launch their profiles on Google+ as the company is working on a feature that would will be similar to Facebook Pages. Google’s head of Commerce and Local Jeff Huber confirmed this news after he commented about this feature in Mike Blumenthal’s blog. He wrote,”And pre-emptively answering a question — yes, we will have (smb) business profile pages on Google+. I can’t announce a launch date yet, but we want to make them *great*, and we’re coding as fast as we can.”
Google group product manager Christian Oestlien told SearhEngineLand that the company in future might enable Google+ to support businesses and brands. He added,”The things that matter for an individual user aren’t the same things that matter for businesses and we want to make sure both have a great experience in Google+.”
Google presently discourages people to create business profiles. Google+’s terms clearly states that Google Profiles doesn’t support profiles for couples or groups of people. Additionally, you can’t create a profile for a non-person entity such as a pet or business.
