20. The value to a company of its “owned” media channels
cannot be overstated.
..the Public Broadcasting System
(PBS) noted that when the
organization wanted to announce
news, it simply posted the story to
its Facebook, LinkedIn and Pintere
st pages, and
its Twitter andInstagram feeds,
plus one or two others. This
approach is in stark contrast to an
organization’s long-held reliance
on journalists to interpret then
share the story with their media
outlet’s respective readers,
viewers and visitors.

36. Pros and
Cons
of
Google+
http://www.resourcenation.com/blog/the-pros-cons-of-google-for-small-
businesses/38317/

37. Google+ is a great
place to build
Business Presence
(via Business Pages
and Influencer
Strategy) because
many businesses
have so far ignored it.
http://www.best-infographics.com/google-
for-business-infographic/

38. Google+ is also
integrated with the
rest of Google’s
services and APIs,
including Google
Search and Google
Analytics.
http://www.best-infographics.com/google-
for-business-infographic/

39. Google+ is also a
great place for the
Arts and Sports, but
many Artists and Arts
organizations don’t
fully leverage it yet
(or are aware of its
capabilities).

40. Google Analytics publishes Google Stats from the website
associated with the Google+ Business Page

web intelligence is superior to
what is offered elsewhere, in
other social media channels.
