      I am looking at setting up several of my clients with Google Plus pages for their businesses.

      What's the best practice for doing this? Should I have a separate Google Account for each and set up the Business Page under that account? Are you allowed to have multiple Google Accounts manage a single Business Page - i.e., can I turn it over to the business without having to relinquish my control or give them access to the account I made?

      Any good tutorials on getting started with this?

      Thanks!

      Tom

        You can have multiple admins and you can transfer ownership, I believe there is a 2 week period before they can remove the previous admin.

          Thanks David - I experienced a similar thing with Google Places and now I set up a separate account for each business when I confirm their accounts. I guess this is called Google Plus Local now.

          I'm looking at how to go about setting up their actual Google Plus pages for the social media aspect. This is where I have some confusion.

          Thanks!

            Just to clear up any confusion, my original answer was more Places/Local orientated, then I re-read the question and edited my answer to address Places business pages, hope it helped.
