Hi Guys,
One of my clients site is ranking pretty good in Google. I have done some link building for over 8 years now. I have helped them with lot of Social media as well. Now their Google+ page has over 1K +1/users. The page is very active and all good. Now the clients brand name is a very generic keyword. But the Google+ profile of the company is not showing up in the side when searched. It showed up briefly for sometime but its gone after few weeks. It came back and stayed for few weeks now its gone again. The Google+ page profile is complete except the business verification. I can't do this cause client instructed me not to enable Google reviews cause competition is constantly spamming his review pages/sites (Qype, Yelp etc) So he don't want to risk this. I'm wondering if this is the reason for Google to not show the company G+ page in the side along with the latest blog post or the branding being too generic (It showed them some time ago but on and off) The website is linked with this profile and verified.
Client has solid social pages (Facebook with over 60K active users, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube) but except Facebook nothing else ranks for the brand in first page.
Ideally I want the following;
1. Brand G+ page on side
2. Social media sites (Twitter, Linkedin, G+ page, Glipho, Blogspot)
3. Youtube page
I'm struggling to solve this. I'm thinking this is mainly to do with the brand being 'Generic'
How do I deal with this. It's very frustrating. I have spent hours building quality content and creating good social and user engagement and no rewards.
Any advice?
Thanks
