Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you.

We don't have any videos at all yet and a very small audience on Google +.  In our industry, we have one or two competitors using video and we have some ideas to show off our capabilities.

We figured YouTube would be the best place to start.

We want to be able to use the videos added to YT to ultimately embed on a couple of site pages. And potentially capture some organic search traffic.

My concern is posting numerous videos to a YT page that might ultimately be permanently associated with the Google + profile page.

And potentially impacting some natural search results (if we see some.)

Thanks for the insight, Phil.

At this point, it sounds as if the only option (with You Tube anyway) would be to add video to the You Tube page associated with the Google + profile.

And hope the integration goes smoothly once Google rolls it out.

Ha! Glad this is a good one for discussion!

Hopefully there will be a solution soon...

Hello,

Has anyone had luck associating their Google + business page with their YouTube channel?

Our YouTube page is associated with our Google + profile  (and we would like it to be associated with the Google + business page.)

There are numerous articles out there that Google is working on an update to allow the Channel/Google+ business page association but I am wondering if there is news we might have missed.

Or if there is a way to get around it?

We want to implement video on some site pages and would rather use YouTube code as opposed to customizing a solution.

Do most folks think Google will have an easy solution once it at arrives? Meaning if you upload videos to your channel that is currently associated with the profile page, do you think there will be a way to convert everything over to a Google + business page once they unveil an update.

Thank you!

I think this is directly related to account ownership - it is a long story but one of our staff members created the profile and associated it with her personal gmail account originally.

This required making our company a manager of the Google + page (as opposed to an owner.)

We are now waiting to be able to transfer the ownership of the page.

I THINK this will eliminate this issue.   If it does, I will be back on here to update.

I am still open to any suggestions!

We recently merged our Google + & Google Local pages and sent a request to Webmaster tools to connect the Google + page to our website.

The message was successfully sent.

However, when clicking the 'Approve or reject this request' link, the following error message appears:

'Can't find associate request'

Anyone know what we are doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the response! I am going to share that info with our IT department.

Have a great day!

Good day! I am not sure if my company has a Canonicalization issue?

When typing in www.cushingco.com the site redirects to http://www.cushingco.com/index.shtml

A visitor can also type in http://cushingco.com/index.shtml into a web browser and land on our homepage (and the url will be http://www.cushingco.com/index.shtml)

A majority of websites that link to our company point to:

http://www.cushingco.com/index.shtml

We are in the process of cleaning up citations and pulling together a content marketing strategy/editorial calendar.

I want to be sure folks interested in linking to us have the right url.

Please ask me any questions to help narrow down what we might be doing incorrectly.

Thanks in advance!!

Jon
