Google+ is a powerful tool for businesses to build their brand. More than 235 million people are actively using the platform to stay in touch with local companies.
Google+ has made a number of improvements, but there are still some challenges for businesses. One of the biggest problems is that it doesn’t provide a way for companies to list multiple locations on a single page. The only solution for these companies is to create separate pages for each location.
Why Do You Need Multiple Google Pages
You want to make sure that you are reaching local customers with your pages. Each Google+ page should list the proper contact information for the respective location. You will also want to make sure that the content that you share in your feed is tailored to each location that you serve.
You could try to setup different Google Business listings for each location. However, Google is less likely to show these in the search results. You will receive much more traction by creating a different Google+ page for each location instead.
Many people have asked Google to create a solution for companies to merge information for multiple locations into a single profile. Unfortunately, Google still doesn’t provide that option. They also haven’t implemented a way for businesses to connect different pages together. Your only option is to create a separate page for each location that you want to serve.
There is no limit on the number of Google+ pages that you can create. Therefore, it is a good idea to create one for every business location that you want to promote.
How to Manage Multiple Google Pages

- Log-in to Your Google+ Account
