Google+ Local: New Marketing Opportunity?
As you may have heard, Google+ (Google's equivalent to Facebook) recently merged with Google Places (it's local search product). This represents a significant change in the world of online marketing, as local search and social media are coming much closer together. For some good background and analysis, check out http://www.energycircle.com/blog/2012/06/20/what-home-performance-b....
What I'm curious about is how everyone is adjusting? What has been your experience in making the switch? Challenges? New marketing opportunities? Are home energy pros even using Google+? Although not as widely used as Facebook, Google + still has over 90 million users, so there's got to be some value there!

We see a lot of business to business connections on Google+ which is good for spreading the word about energy efficiency. But, it's slower going on that platform...
