      Hi,

      I've noticed that a competitors Google+ box is appearing on the right hand side of the Google UK SERPs for a non-branded keyword (open air balustrade). Please see attached image.

      I've always thought that the Google+ box would only be displayed in the SERPS for branded keywords.

      How is this Google+ box appearing for non-branded keywords? How can we improve our chances of our Google+ box being shown instead?

      Many thanks in advance, Lee.

        Hi Lee

        I've just done the same search in Bradford and getting same results. While its unusual its not unheard of.

        Its a bit difficult to say what you need to do to appear without looking at your site.

        PM your site and I will take a look for you.

        Thanks

        Andy

          • The brand drop down doesn't seem to be appearing for any brands in google.com.hk. Is it something which needs to be set up and registered, or automatically rolled out by Google?
