Circles is how you arrange your connections within Google +. You can group your connections into circles with which you then select the names of the circles you want to share your posts with.
You can also put people into multiple circles. I have circles for VIPs, close friends, family, acquaintance and industry contacts.
The interesting thing to note though is while Circles can affect your personal profile on Google +, it can also affect your business page there as well. People can add your page to circles (which allows them to see some of what you publish), but for them to see more, you have to add them to your page's circles.
And, just like Facebook, this isn't an automatic step. You have to do this yourself.
Keep in mind, if you want certain articles you post to your page to target certain members of your audience and not others, be sure to put them into specific circles, then select that circle for the item to be posted to.
In the coming weeks, we'll be touching on Google + and how to use it as Social Media along with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
As always, I welcome questions on any of the social media platforms and look forward to answering questions of my readers.
