Expanding the availability of custom URLs

Expanding the availability of custom URLs  - Custom URLs are short, easy to remember web addresses that link directly to your Google  profile or page (like google.com/ OtavioSilva or google.com/ Toyota ). They make it easier for you to connect with others, as well as promote your content, and today we're significantly expanding their availability to people and pages on Google .

If your profile meets the following criteria, you’ll now be able to claim a custom URL:
- Has a profile photo, and
- Has at least 10 followers, and
- Has an account that's at least 30 days old

Meanwhile, any brand or business that has a linked website or is a verified local business can claim a custom URL for their Google  page. Link and verification info is available in the Google  Help Center: http://goo.gl/RMpxP .

Once you meet the eligibility criteria, just visit your profile or page to begin the claiming process. If you don't see the option yet, don't worry: we're expanding availability throughout the week, and you'll see the in-product notice as soon as your custom URL is ready.

We hope that custom URLs will help  you more easily promote your content on Google , whether it be new photo collections, Hangouts On Air, or an interesting series of posts.  For ideas on how to include custom URLs in your campaigns, ad creatives and more, visit our help center: https://support.google.com/plus/?p=claim_url
