Google Plus Company Page Verification

[Dan-Lawrence]

• Hi

  How do you test successful G+ company page/publisher integration/verification if using the less technical methods such as linking between the Home page and the G+ company page instead of adding code to the head section? Since i  take it the google structured data testing tool cant work in these cases since no code on the head section !

  Is it best to add the code anyway ? I note my clients still not achieving a knowledge graph card/section in the search results for a branded search but i have heard that doesnt come until you have at least hundreds of followers and/or G+ interactions.

If you used verification code in you head section, i think it will verify ASA. But you can verify instant, if you can use webmaster in same email. Cause many time i got that kind of situation.

Google plus page is most important part of local business. Its really very easy to grab 100+ followers. Join some related community of google plus, then post there & try to use hastag (#) . It will give you best result. After few days, you will see your followers is increasing. I have many experience on it. So If you do it some days in google plus, i am damn sure it will happen. Here is link of google plus page benifits,

Thanks Tafser

What im asking is how do you check is the page/publisher is successfully set up if you have not used any code (so testing tool wont work since no code to look for) ?

Then I ask what do you need do to win the brand box in the knowledge graph, do you need a certain amount of followers or interactions before you get that ?

Thanks for the tips

All Best

When it wil successfully setup, then you will get a tick mark. Its possible to publish a page without code, But you need to setup webmaster tool with same email address, which email address you used for publishing your page. For last question, you will get your answer from there. https://plus.google.com/+MarkTraphagen/posts/fwGJJBR4ys8

cool thanks i see the tick

so that confirms that strucutred data testing tool can make you think its not set up when it actually is in the circumstance where you havnt added any code!/

We have set up webmaster tools long ago but not sure with what email address since so many in the oragnisation for this client. So are you saying if we havnt with same email address then theres a problem ? (the tick is there)

thanks for that resource, although it doesnt answer my question since says it was a bug and now working again so i need to know how you get a brand box bakc in the Knowledge graph, any tips welcomed
