Google+ launches Pages for businesses, schools

Dennis Troper, a Product Management Director of Google, posted in Google Official Blog that they finally launched Google+ Pages for all businesses, schools, nonprofit and so on.

A Google+ page is an organization’s identity on Google+. The owners of pages can post updates and news, send tailored messages to specific groups of people, and engage in conversations with customers and followers.

At Google + Page organization can connect with fans face-to-face using Google+ Hangouts. For example, if the user runs a bookstore, he/she may want to invite an author to talk about a latest novel. Hangouts in Pages can also be used for getting customers’ feedback, help solve problems or simply get to know people better, all in real time.

Also, Troper said that soon G+ will introduce Google+ badge, which lets people add their page to their circles, without leaving their site.
