We’re back, and we’ve missed you
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve updated you about everything Rival IQ. Did you miss us? We certainly missed you. We’ve been working hard delivering lots of Rival IQ goodness including some feature updates around Google Plus, and we wanted to let you know we’ve been cooking something good.
Google Plus for an SEO Edge
It is clear that building your business’s presence on Google+ to engage with your customers and community is increasingly important. Also, Google+ is becoming a larger player in Google’s search algorithms, and you’re trying to win the SEO game, right? Don’t believe us? Go read some other folks’ opinions here, here, or here.
For both of these reasons (ok, and because you all keep asking for it, you persistent buggers), we’ve now released Google+ information inside of Rival IQ including circles, plus ones, posts, shares, comments, and more.
You can compare and review Google+ metrics and positioning in your Dashboard or in Analyze.
Also, if you haven’t read our more complete post regarding why you should pay attention to Google+, read our post on becoming a Google+ wizard to learn more.

Tips & Tricks from Our Blog
We started to really invest in our blog a couple of months ago (you know, actually writing posts instead of just posting newsletters and product updates), and we’ve gotten a great response from the community. It has been really beneficial to engage with all of you around the topics we’re discussing.
