How-To claim your Vanity Google+ URL

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

I am very new to Google+, but I found a way to claim my unique short Google+ URL. Follow these simple instructions and it will work for you.


First find your Google+ account USER ID

Then you need to goto http://gplus.to to register your name. (see below)

Hopefully this helps. If this helped you out add me to your Google+ Circle http://gplus.to/MikeBarrett

@Myhang- To my knowledge they haven't fully released G+ yet. See you on the plus side. 8^]

I think it worked but when I retyped it in to check it, link went no where. Now it's OK.

For those of you who aren't sure yet, google + is going to be THE one stop business solution, replacing facebook, yelp and many more. We're now focusing our virtual tours to be optimized for google and have even added the g+ button - have a look: http://www.home2market.com/20889

 

Here's our new Gpus link - thanks Mike!

I've had a G+ account for a while and never knew this.  Thanks!

I tried and it says I "can't use special characters"  I've written my Nickname as my actual name, no spaces, and copied by link from above in the space for User ID and it doesn't like that.  Any tips?
