Easy as usual and now that just a couple of hours after the announcement everyone can create pages you might also link your website to this page. The icon used for the badge is actually not the black Google+ Icon we are used to now, but a red one - black for people and red for pages?

Now this is more than just a badge to put on your homepage next to Facebook and Twitter, but the tool also provides a link to put in your HTML Header to identify the website as a publisher and link it to that page.

I assume this will be used for display in search results on Google like it is done now for selected authors. I also am curious to see if there will be conflicts between author tags and publisher tags ... maybe both will be shown.

But the opportunity to het immediate followers on search results is great and makes sense.

You might think that this is just Facebook envy, but this move makes sense. At least (in contrary to Facebook) here businesses know that they have to create a page and not a profile - since you have the real name policy. The real strong point is the direct integration with Google Search, so in future if you use the + Operator (which was deprecated last week) with a name you get direct access to that Google+ Page.

These pages, as I already said, make sense as an additional tool for companies but should not be seen as a replacement to a website. We have to see how well integrated with the other services and how the use differs from Facebook Pages.
