I push my AR posts out and periodically interact with those who + my post or commented, this year I tend to focus more on it just out of politeness and in turn it will improve SEO

Hi Fred - my involvement with Google+ is linking my ActiveRain posts there. Nothing more.  

I've never been into Google +.  There were already too many to keep up with when it came along. 

I push my posts from my website and sometimes AR there - As someone else mentioned, I haven't been able to directly correlate business from G+ at this point.

I post the link from activerain on G+ with a title and my name and it will rank on google. I don't use it for anything else. 

I use Google + for SEO. I don't believe it does much else.

Its been quite some time since I used Google Plus 

Not active on Google plus.  

I share videos but have no direct correlation to getting clients.

I'm not very active on Google+, but I do like to share my blog posts there just because I understand it's what Google likes!  :)

Michael Jacobs  nailed this one!

I really have no idea

I haven't had much luck with G+.

I push my blogs there.  I have had no traffic from it.

I do think there is a benefit to post on any Google sites. I plan to do more of that this year and to reap the results.

Google "your area + real estate agent." Make certain you clean your cookies and browser history first so you get a clean view.

See the Google map with the 3 businesses come up nice and showcased like (after the paid ads of course)??? You can only get there by having a Google Plus account. Remember to set up a Google Plus for Business account, not an individual one--that's the difference between success and failure on G+.

 This is really only effective if you are trying to improve a website ranking. Once you have the G+ for Biz account set up, you have to link it to your website (you will need to authenticate the business with Google).

 Now you're a member of the club. You cannot get into the showcased local business list without going through this exercise. To improve your ranking, get some local client reviews and keep working to optimize your site. You'll see your ranking rise in no time. Put the G+ badge on your site as well for an extra kick.

 Again, you cannot rank a business on Google effectively without going through this step. I hope this opens a few eyes about G+. It is not something to pooh pooh--it is a basic essential for oline marketing...

SEO is a key reason for Google+.

I've mainly been using for SEO.  I add new posts there and they seem to get indexed in an instant.  I used to use to keep up/learn more about SEO and social media as the best of the best were on there.  But, now I just follow their blogs directly (when I have time).

I still use it. All my blog posts are sent to G+ with hashtags. It serves as an online landing page. The profile page links to all sites I can be found online.  I spend more time on facebook because it's fun and my friends and family are on facebook but Google immediately indexes everything posted there. In my opinion it's more professional more of a business site compared to Facebook which is a personal site that is everything to everybody and filled with clutter.

Yes; I like G+

I still like it & use it just differently. There are many people using it extensively & doing great. If you want to get your stuff out there right away, G+ is the place.

Gets better placement for your AR stuff too. I've developed a whole plan for 2017 so we'll see how it goes.

There are people that are doing great with LinkedIn's blog. I think that when we post here we get lost in the shuffle.

I do nothing on Google+ except send my AR posts to it.

I am not very active on Google+ and would not miss it if it disappeared.

I'm not active on Google +. I can't do all and maintain a real estate practice.

AR seems to lose its viability.  I notice G+ is not getting the juice it used to.

Almost all my blogs come from G+ for the last several months now.

I share my Rain articles on it but that's it.

Google+ has always been on my back burner. For 2017, I intend to work more on Instagram and Linkedin.

All that I have ever used it for was SEO.

I tried using it for other things but now I only use it to backlink to other platforms and my website

I'm afraid I did not do much recently on Google+. My priority: my fb pages, this blog, and IG+ Twitter. 

I do see my SEO improve when I post (and interact) on G+.

I have to wordpress platforms, one I use for blogging alone, and another for my website, which is also wordpressed base.  Both sites allow me to post blogs which automatically get posted on my FB business page, Twitter, Linkedin and now Google +.  As far as I'm concerned the more exposure to my business, the better..

Everything is searchable so it works without giving it much attention, just post blogs to it, same with Linkedin.

Fred Griffin - I just share my AR posts on G+ - and that's the extent of it.

Yes, still active. I see G+ still showing up on Google SERPS, but more important is that they integrated Google My Business into the dashboard. So that makes it easy to access. 

That is about it. I do like the new photos back up from Google. 

No.

I have no clue Fred Griffin - I will link my WordPress posts on G+ after the posts are indexed.  

Fred Griffin I have an account, but rarely check it. I do get the notifications on my iPad.

IMO G loves G so I'm on it but I don't do anything special there - feel free to add me howeever and of course I will return the add to anyone who does :)

Have never used it!

Send all my new posts there

I just do it

I had an account but never did much with it, just could not get into it.
