      I'm in the process of developing a new product and brand name and would like to create all the social media accounts (FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc), including G+ and want it to have it's own Gmail ID like ABCXYZ@gmail.com, so I can set up all accounts using this Gmail ID and if needed down the road, have someone else help manage the accounts so they have that login and my my main Gmail login.

      My question is, does Google frown upon setting up new Gmail IDs under the same name "Patrick McCoy" as I have my name tied to my personal Gmail account and my company's Gmail account "whiteboardcreations@gmail" both with G+ pages and URLs of /+PatrickMcCoy1 and /+PatrickMcCoy2 respectively. I'd like to have Authorship associated with the new product website and also want the new product to have it's own G+ Business Page to post updates, info, etc., which is why I'm getting a little confused on how I'd do it the right way,

      What would you do or does it really matter... can my new Gmail account of ABCXYZ@gmail just be /+PatrickMcCoy3 which is associated to my new product/brand name?

      Thank you and look forward to the feedback!

        1. No, Google doesn't mind having another Gmail id with your name, I'm sure there are plenty more with the same name.

        2. A G+ page is not associated with one email address. You can add multiple admins to a G+ page. So in your case I think you can create the G+ page under the new Gmail id and add one of your other profiles as an admin.

        So I don't think it makes the difference if you create a new Gmail id specifically for your new product.

          Thanks for the reply, Nishadha. I get all you're saying, but what would you do for Authorship? My thoughts, now that I read and understand yours, is that I would create the new Gmail ID (which auto creates a new G+ Profile) and then setup a G+ Business Page for my new product. Then for Authorship, just link/associate my current G+ Profile to the new product G+ Business Page and Website as I want to continue to build Authority as a content publisher/author.

          Does that sound about right? Make sense?

            Yes, that makes perfect sense. You can even create another G+ page for your current Google+ profile, but since you're creating a new Gmail id for Facebook, Twitter etc I guess it's better to create the page also from that Gmail id.
