How Google+ Will Influence Your SEO & Web Presence Optimization Strategy

Google's "Search Plus Your World" was unveiled to help make search results more personalized and relevant to users. Search Plus Your World centers on Google+, Google's emerging social media platform. And it's all having a profound influence on SEO and web presence optimization.

It sort of works like this... 

When a Google+ user adds a person or business to their circles, that person or business has some degree of influence over the user's search results.

For example, lets say I add the Trek bikes page to my circles. Trek often makes Google+ posts about their new bike models. One of their most recent posts was about their new "Trek Concept 7" (a popular triathlon bike.)

So when I go to Google and search for the "Trek Concept 7," Google will display their recent Google+ post about this particular bike. Because I have Trek in my circles, and because my search was very keyword relevant to their recent Google+ post, I am shown these unique, socially-influenced results.

This a serious game changer for business and brands with an online presence. In essence, the more people that have a certain brand or business in their circles, the more influence that brand or business will have over their search results. It's evolving the SEO and search marketing playing field like never before.
