Differentiate Between Google+ Profile and Google+ Page

Not many know the difference between the two and most of the time the terms are used interchangeably.

Let us try to explain it to you in simple words,

A Google+ profile represents people and is personally managed by the user just like you manage your Facebook or Instagram profiles.

On the other hand, a Google+ page often represents an entity such as a business organization, celebrity fan pages, institutions, brands, or pseudonyms that can be managed by multiple administrators simultaneously.

The identity of the user also marks a distinguishing point between the two.

Although a user can create and manage up to 50 pages from a single Google account, he has the option of using a separate page identity, different from the personal profile identity of the account from which the page originated.

It's easy to switch between connected pages and channels without having to switch between multiple accounts.

While personal profile content can be made private and accessible only to people added in user circles, the default privacy setting for page content is public.

Pages have a "+1" button (Google's version of the Facebook Like button) that users use to show their support and follow the page's profile, shared and published content, and receive notifications about it.

Google+ page profiles do not have the option to add people themselves until and unless they are added first or mentioned by another user.
