Custom URLs for Google+ Accounts

It has been a long time coming, Google have finally started to roll out custom URLs for Google+ accounts that are established. By established, the criteria appear to be: 30+ days old, have 10 followers and a profile photograph. On top of this, brands and businesses may also receive a custom URL if it has a linked website or is a verified local business. iMod Digital was notified by email yesterday as follows:

Google will have to process millions of emails so if you haven't received yours yet it's probably best to remain patient. Alternatively, if you've only just started exploring Google+ or had forgotten about your account then we recommend you take the time to match these criteria to qualify for the custom URL:

Personal/Individual:

  • Account is 30+ days old.
  • A profile picture is loaded.
  • You have 10 followers.
Business/Brand:
  • Link your website to the Google+ page, or
  • Get your local business verified.
A custom URL is just another way of potentially increasing your visibility within the most used search engine on the Internet. A more official statement may be read here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+OtavioSilva/posts/Qz7qFcdYDF6
