      Hi Flo! (first, sorry for my english, i try to improve it)

      I think that maybe you are confusig the +1 to an url, with the +1 to a Google Plus Page.

      In your page ibremarketing.com you have the button with +12 because 12 users done +1 to www.ibremarketing.com

      If you set the +1 button to your G+'s page, the url is not "ibremarketing.com", being google.com/yourpagesid (the url that i can see you set up in the box URL TO +1 to test the script). This second url have not any +1 at this moment, and is a different one.

      So, there are two major options: +1 your own website's url, or +1 the Google Plus Page and follow it on Google Plus.

      Is simmilar to facebook likes. I can like a url and recommend it, or i can like a facebook fan page to follow it.

      My suggestion is: left the +1 button to your website's url and use Badge option to let users follow your Google's Plus Page.

      Or better: Set the +1 button to the G+ page, and link it officialy to www.ibremarketing.com

      like this: (sorry if appears in spanish, must be in english too)

      https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1713826?p=link_page_to_website&rd=1

      I hope to be enough crearly in my explanation

      See you

        Hola !

        No hay problema se puede solucionar en espanol tmb ! Ja jaja

        But I saw he difference between both and as the website is linked to google + fan page http://awesomescreenshot.com/0451a9sld5 I think it would be better to G+ the page rather than the url (as i have 12 urls .com/me, .com/fr, etc.)

        But I don't know how to set it up.

        When I do it on google + page http://awesomescreenshot.com/06e1a9tfda https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/ I do not see the 12 current followers.

        So in fact how to be sure than my google + code is weel linked to my  google + and my google + page linked to my website and it's subfolders

        Tks a lot !

        (ps: I love valencia by the way :p)

          Hi! (Mira, alguien que habla español, si en realidad somos muchos)

          So... i don't know if you can improve the Badge onto your page, but i think is the better option if possible https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/

          Because it includes +1 to url and circles for the page

          if not possible, you must decide what to do, because the button can be linked to an url, or to the url when it appears.

          If set the box "URL to +1" with http://www.ibremarketing.com" i actually can see the 12 +1 you have

            Hello Natan !

            But it's strange because I see the code working fine

            http://awesomescreenshot.com/01b1aaqpc0

            However I do not see exactly the same on the page

            http://awesomescreenshot.com/0471aaqb89

            Do you think iit's considering the G page and my website page as different ?

              Exactly Flo!!!

              That's what I tried to say: Is not the same a "+1 to an URL" with a "+1 to a G+Page"

              You can set it to your .com or set it to your G+Page url, To use both, you must use the Badge, not the Button

              The best option I think is set the +1 to the Google Plus Page, and link it to your website url

              Sorry for don't explain me clearly enough...

                You think it's better to link to google + then the page ?

                Because I did the reverse. I link to the page (.com) and .com is supposed to be linked to the website.

                Mum ... How can we be sure of that ?

                    Well... i'm not sure 100%

                    but I think that is better to have a community in G+ and link your url, but maybe i'm wrong

                    really i not tested two options face off... must to look this deeper...

                      Hi Flo,

                      Sorry, I've read through this thread twice, and I'm a little confused. Could you give an example URL, and possibly restate the question? More than happy to help.

                      Thanks.

                        Hello

                        Thanks for your help (Nathan also by the way ;p)

                        1. On me company website I added a Google + Plugin.
                        2. I link this one to my url www.ibremarketing.com
                        3. My google page is properly linked to my website 

                        However, I have 15 Google like on the website and just 12 on the google + page

                        So my question is: If i set up google plugin with the google page url will google understands that people are liking my website and use it improve my ranking ?

                        Right now it looks like the plugin is considering the google page different than my website url, even if both are linked together.

                        Hope you can give me a hand !

                        Tks a lot

                        Florian

                          I think that the answer to the re-question in your last reply is Yes.

                            Typically, if I understand correctly, the number of +1's on your Google+ profile closely reflect the # of +1s associated with the homepage of your website.

                            What's interesting is that Google reports 16 +1's to your homepage through thier API, which we can see through Open Site Explorer: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/pages.html?site=www.ibremarketing.com%2F

                            You have everything set up correctly as far as I can tell. Not sure why there is a difference. It could be because of caching or differences in the way the widget reports +1's from the web app. Regardless, the difference isn't enough to cause concern.

                            As far as helping you in rankings, to be honest the effect is likely small at this point. We know Google uses G+ to index new content, and it can play a significant factor in search personalization. At this point I would work on promoting yourself for more visibility, and eventually you'll may see the influence of Google+ shares.

                            Hope this helps! Best of luck.

                              Hello !

                              So if I understand properly, we do not know why there is a slight difference between the +1 result into Google page and the one in our website ?

                              But wich one will you recommand to use ?

                              Tks a lot for your help !

                                As far as I can tell you have everything set up correctly, and it's doubtful setting it up a different way will produce significantly different results, so I'd say you're good!

                                  Hello !

                                  Tks a lot for your help Nathan and Cyrius. Now it's working fine (liking the page is adding a like in the fanpage and vice versa)

                                  I did not change anything. Maybe Google just needed time.

                                  Tks a lot

                                  So the answer to my question would be: to use the google plugin linked to your website url and then setup properly your google page.
