How best to set up Google + business pages for clients

[Bristolweb]

I wish to setup a business page on google+ business page for my  clients but it requires a personal profile,   my clients don't want a personal profile but do want the business page.

Currently i have set them up with pages on my personal profile but  do can i allow the client to manage it? so i am not sure this is the best way

Whats the best way for web developers  to setup Google+ accounts for clients?

Have a look if that's of any help (by setting up multiple managers perhaps) : http://google-plus.com/3778/google-pages-multiple-managersadmins-transfer-ownership-delete-page-and-new-notifications-released/

However - I believe they would still have to have a personal profile anyway or at least google account.

I do it in basically the same way I do facebook pages for clients. I set up a band new personal Google account for the client, set up a G+ account THEN setup a business page from there. This way the client can maintain ownership of the account if you part ways and will not be connected to any of your properties. I believe this is considered a "best practice".

Kynduvme is right - I did this just a few weeks ago for a client (two pages for one client):

1. Set up a personal google account if they dont have one
2. Set up a very basic G+ page in their name
3. Set up business page(s) from this G+ account

The way you are currently doing it bristolweb is only going to cause headaches in the future. Ultimately they should be in control of their page from their only central Google account.

I agree this is definitely the best way to do it. However, since you have set it up under your account, you do have the ability to add other accounts as admins and even transfer ownership to them. So you're not stuck! The link that Sebastian gave above, will walk you through the process of doing that.
