Social media sites are great way to get direct updates from websites. Like Facebook pages, Google+ recently opened its ways for businesses and website owners to create pages for their websites so that users can add pages to their circles and get instant updates on their profile pages.
In order to add a Google+ badge to your blog or website, you first need to create a Google+ page for your blog or website. If you haven’t yet created a page then you can create it using this link.
Create a Google+ Badge
Follow the following steps to create a Google+ badge for your website.
- Sign in to your Google+ profile and open this link in your browser.
- Now copy the profile URL of your Google+ page and paste it in the given text field. Look at the following screenshot for reference.
- Now choose style for your badge. You can choose from 5 available styles – Standard badge, Small badge, Small icon, Medium icon or Large icon.
- Once you have selected the style, copy the code from end of the page and paste it in your site. There are two parts of the code. One part has to be pasted in head section and one part where you want the badge to appear.
That’s all to add a Google+ badge to your site. If you face any problems in this tutorial, you can leave your comments here.

Hey Pradeep, Wonderful and crisp article. Will u update is there any plugin available for the same. Or I should not go for plugin ?
I would suggest this manual method itself bro, it is simple and we don't need to count on another plugin. 🙂
Is there anyway to resize the Google+ badge to 250px?
The image or the entire display mate?
I want to do the same with my badge, resize it to 250px. The entire display.
