Is Google+ really shutting down. What will its alternate? I have been promoting my business on Google+, Facebook and Twitter.
@ShazS Google+ is shutting down its consumer version by August 2019. However, it will keep the service going for its enterprise accounts. Their statement read: "Our review showed that Google+ is better suited as an enterprise product where co-workers can engage in internal discussions on a secure corporate social network," so I wouldn't expect that aspect of the site to vanish any time soon. As far as alternatives, I know that Instagram is always gaining reach. If you haven't researched whether or not it could be a good additional platform for your business, I highly suggest looking into it.
Google + has been shutdown. To target best audience for your platforms you can use pinterest & quora instead of using Facebook.
