hi i have started using google plus after some great advice on here, i am not sure if i have done this correct but here is my url for my account, if anyone lets me know if this is the address i should be promoting.

https://plus.google.com/108369767071351734510/posts?hl=en-GB

my question is

Is it best to have my postings as public or as circles, very new to this so not sure how to have my posts set, any advice would be great

Hi Diane

I suggest you make your postings public. This will help people find you, and know if what you're sharing is interesting, so they can put you in their circles.

One of the most useful things you can do with your Google+ page is verify your site for authorship (so your image appears in Google search results).

To set this up you will need to do a couple more things:

1. Add your site under "Contributor to" section on your About page.

2. Make your +1s public.

3. Add links from your site to your Google+ page using the rel="author" tag. (This completes the circle so Google knows you are contributor to your site, and that your site verifies you as the author).

I wrote a short guide about setting up authorship, though you'll doubtless find many more on the web.

I would also advise you to add a bit more content to your page - images and info about yourself - then publish a few posts and start circling people you find interesting.

Good luck

Mark

this is great advice, i am going to read your info on page using the rel="author" tag  as i am not sure how to do this. also i need to find out about if we can put the company name on there so people can find us as they will not know who we are with a personal name.

i have content on the page but need to look at it and see what i can do to improve it
