Getting Started With Google+ For Real Estate Agents

1) Complete Your Profile

While this may seem obvious, it's the first step to getting started on Google+. Upload a current, high quality profile picture of yourself. You'll also want to upload a custom cover photo. If you don't have those two things customized, it tends to look like you're either not really into Google+ or you're a spam profile. You want to make sure your profile is fleshed out, so fill out the About Yourself section and let people know about your interests. Be sure to add blogs or websites you might be associated with, as well. This profile is indexed in Google searches, so it's a good way to boost your online profile.
