This is now available for every Google+ user. And One can very their identity using Google rich snippets. To be honest Google+ has more feature like hangout, circle privacy. than any other social media network include facebbok, twitter, etc.

Hi Tim,

The timeline for Google+ rollout is entirely up to Google. We've received heaps of feedback regarding the integration and will certainly make moves when we can.

Guys, it has been a year and you have not launched Gplus sharing yet. It makes me think about looking for another application.

Dave Olson
Dave Olson

No 3rd party application is integrated with Google+ at this time. Further, HootSuite is one of a scant view with any access to Google+ Pages as part of a limited (by Google) beta program. We are eager to roll this tool out more widely but the timeline is entirely up to Google.

Isn't Streamified integrated with Google Plus? Seems to be when I am logged into Google Plus. When I make a post through the Google Plus interface, Streamified allows me to share my Google Plus posts to Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Start pressuring them then. I can imagine I'm not the only one who is itching to upgrade, pay and stay committed to using hootsuite as a paying client but this is holding me back if it can't do EVERYTHING.

push, push, push... So they're google, big deal. Make them open it up!

Dave Olson

HootSuite offers many tools and features not available in other tools including analytics, team assignments, batch scheduling, apps and more. Alas, the Google+ integration is a limited beta for the time being. We hope to roll out more widely but the timeline is up to Google.

We're waiting to roll this integration out more widely Christina then hopefully you can share with your Real Estate offices. We agree that social media is very useful for the RE industry.

I was about to move to pro as my site just relaunched however was only moving so we could use the rss feed to post to G+. Pretty bad that its not offered to Pro members, its not like G+ support is going to be a massive selling point, even for Ent customers. Seems like it was limited just for the sake of it here. Disappointing :(

Andy Au

Hi Rick,

As an official launch partner of Google+ Pages, HootSuite was allocated a very limited number of seats for trial launch which is why they were allocated to Enterprise customers first. Also worth noting that this release was for Pages only, not Profiles.

It's still pretty lame.....

Thanks for your feedback Anthony. We're pleased to be the first tool integrated with Google+ Pages and we'll continue to un-lame-ify :)

Great news. Is there any chance of getting a free use for individuals who have large client base to show them the technology and get them signed up? I work with over 100 realestate offices and this would be an excellent use of a free bee to get you more customers.

Thank you for posting this tutorial, his is a useful to as new user of google plus. When you have a thousands of friends in g+, how will you able to know if they include you in his/her circle without checking one by one to your friends profile because it is thousands. I wonder also why the g+ would not allowed a certain person to post other's wall.

I will only switch from Basic to Pro once Google+ is enabled on Pro accounts. Until then, no point in paying.

Not happy that this isn't part of the free account. I had heard that Google+ was integrated so I signed up and found out that I was misinformed. Without Google+ integration, Hootsuite doesn't offer much more than Tweetdeck. Analytics are great, but for the personal user, I'd much rather have Google+ integration.

No update quite yet but we'll be sure to announce it on our blog if we make any changes.

I'm still a basic subscriber and I'm totally tempted to sign up for the Pro version, but will wait until Google+ profiles and pages can be added to Hootsuite before signing up. Then it will be a no-brainer for me! I hope it's sooner rather than later.
