Topic: LinkedIn and Google+ Pages.

Google Plus pages are so much easier to set-up and manage than Facebook pages. And, as a huge benefit, they are part of the search engine powerhouse, Google . This session will cover examples of brand pages.
LinkedIN has been the professional network for corporations and business owners that provide business-to-business services. Company pages and tabs for carreers, services and events makes LinkedIN a great place to advertise and list your companies.
