Google+
Google+ is an important site for your company to be present on not just because of the social aspect, but also due to the fact that your Google+ account is also tied to the search engine itself. When someone searches your brand, Google pulls in your Google+ account information, including your profile picture and recent posts.Profile Picture – 250 x 250 (Recommended)
Google already has a ton of information about your brand, now they want a face or logo to tie to that name! Though you upload your image in a square format it’s going to render on your page as a circle, so be wary you don’t choose a photo that cuts out the good stuff!
Image Guidelines
- Minimum 120 x 120 pixels.
- Recommended 250 x 250 pixels.
- Maximum not listed – I was able to upload a 20 MB photo at 5,200 x 5,300 pixels.
- JPG, GIF or PNG.
Cover Image – 1,080 x 608
The Google+ cover image is the biggest photo on your page, so choose your photo wisely! It’s a great opportunity for you to showcase a product or service your brand offers, or maybe choose an image that reflects the beliefs of your company.

Image Guidelines

- Minimum width of 497 pixels (will scale the height for you).
- Maximum upload 2,048 x 2,048 pixels.

A shared link comes with the same ability to choose which circles you want to share with, but the post itself has different capabilities. You’ll still have the ability to type in whatever description that you’d like, but with a shared link you also have the opportunity to link your post to your site. This is going to pull a photo from your site and add it to the post so that your viewers can click through to your page.

Videos are amazing assets for brands to help with their marketing efforts. If you happen to have one, or are interested in making one, it could be a great piece of content to send out to your Google+ audience. Just as with links and images you can pick and choose which circles would be best for each video.Video Guidelines
