Branding: Google+ Now Offering Vanity URLs

Entrepreneurs everywhere are getting a new branding gift from Google in the form of their own G+ vanity URLs…
While Google+ has quickly established itself as the preferred platform for doing real business and networking with other business owners and entrepreneurs, the long string of numbers, which identifies an account hasn’t done wonders for easy sharing or branding. Fortunately that is now changing.
Brands and business owners will be able to claim their own custom vanity URLs making it easier to unify branding and attract more into their circles just like with Facebook and Twitter. This is high value web real estate which while easy to grab in the short term will quickly build equity and boost the value of savvy startups with great URLs too.
The bad news of course is that the initial roll out is only going to celebrities and top shelf brands like Delta and Toyota, though Google’s product manager does say they will soon be available to all. In the meantime, Gplus.to offers a cheat to get ahead of the pack and use a custom URL now.
This is absolutely something all entrepreneurs and businesses need to jump on to secure and boost their branding as well as for defending their market share. Claim a personal vanity URL and utilize your vanity 800 number as a Google+ URL too for instant recognition, getting found faster on the web and mobile devices and maintaining a bullet proof brand identity which incorporates your web domain name and primary business phone number.
Those who overlook the importance of this opportunity will pay the consequences for years to come. It should certainly be expected that there will be numerous savvy Internet marketers waiting for the flood gates to open to scoop up as many premium vanity URLs on Google+ as they can.
