Google+ Page Merge Process in its Beginning Phase

Google has started with its process for the merging of the Google+ Page and Google+ Local Page. The business owner can make request to Google for the merging of the pages at earliest with Google request form.

But before moving further with merging the page, business must follow below mentioned guidelines:

• The business must have verified Google Places Listing for Business and have created a local Google+ page.
• Business must has a storefront and follows the Places quality guidelines.
• In the testing phase, business may run into temporary issues including the inability to respond to reviews.
• For the merging of the business, Google has to be provided with Google+ page link.
• The Google+ page must have Local Business category.

This is the starting of the process and at its beginning; hence no more information can be made on this. But will updated with more information as soon it is released.

Here are the sources for more information of this effect in Google.
