This was the feature most requested by our users for over a year. Why? Because everything you post on G+ is automatically indexed by Google and that means,<strong>\u00a0it strengthens the positioning of your site in search results.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this post, I&#8217;ll show you how you can start scheduling your posts on G+ with <a href=\"http:\/\/postcron.com\/en\/\">Postcron<\/a>\u00a0today. But before that, let me tell you briefly why you should use Google+ for your business. It&#8217;s really important to know!<\/p>\n<h2>Why you should start using Google+ for your business right now<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Everything you post on Google+ is automatically indexed in Google, which positively impacts search results for your site.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When a user searches for something on Google, the first result on the list gets 54% of the clicks. Google+ positively affects the positioning of your site because it increases the chances of being at the top. Basically, Google+ = More-Free-Traffic!<\/p>\n<p>2. With <strong>1 billion registered users,<\/strong> Google+ is considered today as the world&#8217;s second largest social network after Facebook. Google. Does. Not. Stop: it&#8217;s growing at an incredible rate of 33% per year.<\/p>\n<p>3. Unlike Facebook, Google+ is a place <strong>for openly\u00a0sharing your interests<\/strong> and connecting with people, influencers, and relevant brands. Above all, it&#8217;s a space for sharing and recommending information.<\/p>\n<p>4. As you probably already know, Google is the most used search engine in the world and its refined algorithm provides extremely accurate results. However, the +1 button (the equivalent to &#8220;Like&#8221; on Facebook) is the component that was missing, because it adds the social element to the optimization of\u00a0search results. <strong>A +1 is a human recommendation that Google will take into account when evaluating the site.<\/strong> According to <a href=\"http:\/\/hubspot.uberflip.com\/i\/174663\">Hubspot<\/a>,\u00a0after analyzing more than 5,000 webpages, the sites that use the <strong>&#8220;+1&#8221; button get 3.5x more visits on Google+.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. The creation of G+ allows Google to provide personalized search results that are more relevant to the user. Again, the social element adds a little something extra to searches, which improves the quality of the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you use Google+, it&#8217;ll improve the ranking of your site and brand on the Internet. Google+ is Google&#8217;s social network, and today, this giant is the gateway to the Internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You feel like posting something on Google+ now, right?<\/strong> Awesome! I&#8217;m going to explain how you can do it using Postcron\u00a0without wasting one extra second.<\/p>\n<h2>How to schedule posts on Google+ using Postcron<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. If you haven&#8217;t logged in yet, go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/postcron.com\/en\/\">Postcron.com<\/a>\u00a0and log in with your G+, Facebook or Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>2. To add one or more of\u00a0your Google+\u00a0pages to your Postcron account,<strong> click the button with G+.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. Then, <em>Google will ask you for permission to let Postcron manage your pages<\/em>. Once you accept, we&#8217;ll show you a list of the pages you administer on G+. In case you have several, you can select the ones you want to administer from Postcron.<\/p>\n<p>When you go back to the dashboard, you&#8217;ll see your Google+ pages a long with your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest accounts, as in the following picture:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.postcron.com\/blog-en\/2014\/07\/CommentsExplained.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.postcron.com\/blog-en\/2014\/07\/schedule-and-publish-post-on-Google-.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3010 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.postcron.com\/blog-en\/2014\/07\/schedule-and-publish-post-on-Google-.png\" alt=\"schedule schedule posts on Google+ and publish them\" width=\"2588\" height=\"998\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. To post, start typing where it says &#8220;Share status&#8221; and then select the Google+, Twitter and Facebook accounts\u00a0where you want to publish. To confirm, press the &#8220;Schedule&#8221; button and\u00a0specify the date and time of post. That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n<p>TIPS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google+ lets you put words in &#8220;bold&#8221; if you surround them with this symbol: *. For example, *Happiness* will show up as\u00a0<strong>Happiness<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>best times to post content on Google+ is between 9am and 11am<\/strong>. The worst times are between 6pm and 7am.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Plus! How to create a list of posts to be published on G+ directly from Google Docs<\/h2>\n<p>If you work in a Social Media or Advertising agency, then you&#8217;re probably used to spreadsheets: social media calendars, content calendars, checklists, etc.. Spreadsheets are practical and that&#8217;s why, here at Postcron, we also provide you with the ability to upload a spreadsheet with a calendar of Social Media posts. You can use Google Docs or Microsoft Excel to perform this task.<br \/>\nThis feature is also widely used by <strong>blog-owners and sites that publish lots of content.<\/strong> When you publish more than 6 posts a day on multiple social networks, and you&#8217;re already creating your weekly calendar, it&#8217;s easier to put together a spreadsheet with all the posts that you&#8217;re going to publish and then upload it to Postcron all at once, rather than uploading each one individually.<\/p>\n<p>In this 3 minute video, I&#8217;ll show how to create a spreadsheet of posts and upload it to Postcron to later be published on Google+, Facebook and\/or Twitter. To make it easier, I&#8217;ll use simple messages and the link to this post.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How you can Program Hundreds of Posts with our Bulk Uploader [Tutorial]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v9jbKwv7k38?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The most important thing to know when putting together your spreadsheet for Postcron, is that the data must be in this order: Message, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Link to an image, Link to an article or site.<br \/>\n<strong>Using spreadsheets instead of individually scheduling each post can save you several hours per client or per blog a week. I definitely recommend using it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/53bpbshDpXo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1131\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.postcron.com\/blog-en\/2014\/07\/Screen-Shot-2014-08-03-at-10.46.05-PM-1024x511.png\" alt=\"Bulk Upload (from Google Docs to Postcron)\" width=\"717\" height=\"358\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>In short: more social networks, better positioning of your site, higher efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Positioning your brand on<strong> Google+ will positively impact search results<\/strong>, besides allowing you to connect with influencers and and audiences focused on finding specialized information.<\/p>\n<p>From now on, <strong>you can use your <a href=\"http:\/\/postcron.com\/en\/\">Postcron<\/a>\u00a0account to manage your Google+ pages<\/strong> (in addition to Facebook pages, Facebook groups, Instagram and Twitter accounts).<\/p>\n<p>If you like this new change, share it on your social networks which will help us add more features faster, your &#8220;+1&#8221; helps us a lot! \ud83d\ude42 More news coming soon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I&#8217;m really happy to announce that from now on, Postcron\u00a0lets you schedule posts on Google+.
