Google Plus is so many things that many people do not fully understand all that it is capable of and all that it has to offer.
Select Local Business or Place - if your business has a physical location and you want to show up in Google Maps this is the option for you. To receive all the functionality of this page, including reviews, you must have the listing verified either by a phone call or postcard.
So what part of the elephant would you like?
Google Plus Pages
Google Plus pages come in a few different shapes and sizes. To be on Google Plus you must initially have an individual page. From your individual page you can create and manage mulitple pages for your business, for your non profit, a musical or theater group, for whatever you wish.
Once a Google Plus Page is created the type of page can not be changed.
