Quick Question It’s about Social Media but Not Facebook (23 posts)

Does anyone here know how to change the Google+ URL? … I know it’s not Facebook related but I haven’t found the answer anywhere else.

I read from some news blog that Google now has the option of customizing your G+ profile URL and I still haven’t figured out how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

@devanianjali @tracy-peterson-champagne It’s not available to us peons yet Only the verified / corporate accounts have access for now.
From Mashable: “At first, we’re introducing custom URLs to a limited number of verified profiles and pages. But over time, we plan to offer custom URLs to many more brands and individuals,” he writes in the post.

@tracy-peterson-champagne @devanianjali @pacey From Mashable just now: Google+ Widens Rollout of Custom URLs
The Google+ team began notifying users Thursday morning of the option to claim a pre-approved custom URL or apply for a different one.

You’ll be notified when you can claim your custom URL. Log into Google+ and check your profile. There will be a grey bar across the top of the screen. If it’s not there, they just haven’t gotten to you yet.

Google is saying that your page or profile must be verified to qualify for the custom URL

I am in like 3000 circles- oh you mean for your business page? Kind of hard, when you can’t promote it to public or a lot of your circles.. not sure why they are not allowing us to do that?

Here’s the link to verify your page - http://support.google.com/plus/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=page_verification&rd=1
I’ve heard that you should add your personal profile to your business page about section in order for consideration to get verified on your personal account. I’m not totally sure it’s accurate but worth a shot.

@prestonodenbrettGoogle is known for its vagueness. In really not sure what “meaningful number of people” means, however, if you work on getting some real people adding your page to circles it won’t take a whole lot of time. By real, I mean real profiles. Send me the link and I’ll add ya. I’m pretty active in G+.

@pacey Woo hoo for you! I’m still mortal, but hoping for transformation soon, lol.
Meanwhile… just another confusing, frustrating waiting-it-out day in Googleville.
