Why You Shouldn’t Be On Google Plus

April 4, 2012 by Tina Reed Johnson

Important announcement:  Google announced recently that the Google Plus social media network for consumers will be discontinued in April 2019 (the date has moved up).  We are no longer active on Google Plus, and are not offering its social media management services to clients as of December 2019.

We will miss you Google Plus

    I really enjoy Google+- I think it will be fun to watch how it all continues to evolve.

      I enjoy my experience on Google+ too, Sara. I feel more free in posting on certain topics (such as solar energy), and I’m really looking forward to seeing more growth! I’ve met some quality people here too, and even though there are a lot of lurkers I think that will change as people get to know the medium better.

    Very clever and and convincing pitch for Google+. Our non-profit group has a website, and we’re on Facebook and Twitter. Sounds like Google+ should be our next step. The big plus will be getting a boost in our Google search listings. Could use some help getting set up.

      Thank you, Kathy! I appreciate your comments, and will contact you directly to see if I can be of help with your foray onto Google+. BTW Paid Google ads should also help boost your rankings. Stay tuned for more information on the benefits of Google+!

Thank you, Tina. Great work as always! Love the wording and images on your ads, and it’s wonderful to see the click-throughs to the Mental Health page you wrote and lecture page on our website. Kathy Burris, Los Angeles, CA February 2021
I think the ads are effective. And doubling the amount spent can only help. I was unsure how many we would have come, so I was a bit careful about the advertising for our talk. We had about 20-25 show up. I understand we got some people from the FB ads. I do think the FB ads are a plus. Lecture Chairman, So Cal church December 2022
Thank you so much for the report on our Facebook ad and for the work you did to publicize our lecture.  We had 155 people join our online lecture.  We very much appreciate your support.  The number of users reached is great.  We have made so much progress since we started running ads a few years ago. Linda GerltFirst Church of Laguna Beach
Our website ChristianScienceLosAngeles had the highest activity ever and we’ve had 398 views of the webinar as of today on YouTube. It looks like Tuesday was an all time high for pages accessed on our website coinciding with your facebook ad release. Then the day of the webinar we had another new high for visits and pages accessed. We are pleased that your targeted facebook ads seemed to reach individuals that were interested in exploring our website. Thanks for your good work!!!

Sylvia Crew-Rynski, Thousand Oaks Church Lecture Committee Chair June 2019 Facebook Live, Thousand Oaks
The lecture was an unqualified success. We had overflow in our lobby. We had quite a few that were new and we had many, many positive comments. Thank you for advertising our talk on Facebook! Marty DeWindt First Church Laguna Niguel, CA August 2018 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, Laguna Niguel
Thank you Tina, and good to know these results from our Facebook advertising.  We’re working on educating our membership about the value of social media and appreciate this data to confirm.  We definitely had a number of visitors and heard very good feedback about our speaker at our talk. -Madelon Maupin, Bibleroads.com, Newport Beach, CA November 2018 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, Newport Beach
The Facebook advertising worked!  It was our largest crowd w/a significant number of new comers.  The LARGE auditorium was almost full!  The lecture was so well received that the Q & A didn’t finish until 4 pm.  -Caraway Longville & First Church, San Diego, CA June 2017 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, San Diego
