Google Fast Tracks Google+ Business Profiles

According to a report on PC World, the surging demand for Google+ business profiles has prompted Google+ product leader Vic Gundotra, a Google senior vice president of engineering, to acknowledge that Google was caught off guard, but he says that a business solution is being fast-tracked.

So far, only companies hand-selected to participate in a test program for the development of business profiles have been allowed to have Google+ pages. Google has been deleting unapproved Google+ business profiles.

Search engine expert Danny Sullivan, editor of the Search Engine Land blog, whose business profile was among those removed from the site, wrote a series of critical posts on Thursday. In a comment to one of those posts, Gundotra wrote that Google should have anticipated the frustration among those who want a Google+ business profile. "This is my fault. I prioritized other things first. So when Danny says Google screwed up, he is right," wrote Gundotra.
