Round Two: Getting the Most Out of Google+ For Your Business [2/7 @ 11 am]

Should you link your Google+ brand page to your Facebook brand page? Why or why not?

Round Two: Getting the Most Out of Google+ For Your Business [2/7 @ 11 am]

With Google now charging for maps and other services it used to offer for free, do you see them charging for Google+ business pages in the future?

Do you recommend having a "Follow us on G+" on your web properties? Email signatures (personal G+)? Other places?
