Personal & Business Google+ Pages - which gives SEO juice?

[AshShep1]

Hi i set up a personal Google+ page and added a business page for my website www.over50choices.co.uk.

The business page is linked to my site, but my personal profile "James Price" has the authorship and my blog, youtube, twitter accounts for over50choices linked to it - do i need to link all these accounts to my Google+ business page to get maximum SEO juice or will my personal page get picked up?

Do i need to transfer all the social accounts to my business profille - help!?

Thanks

James

Hey James,

From what I can gather from Google on this, a business page can be set as the rel publisher from the homepage only, and subsequent pages assigned to an individual for authorship.

However, I wouldn't worry about transferring social accounts over as you can, if you wish, just add these as links which will show in the G+ business page About, including a link to your website.

As long as Google can see the 'circle-of-trust' from your site, to your G+ account and back again, then all is good.

Perhaps I haven't been watching or taking notice, but I cant see I have ever seen a brand picked up as an author for anything.

Hope this helps,

Andy
