20 Top Brands on Google+

A new study by social management company BrightEdge found that 61 of the top 100 global brands had a Google+ page the week after Google let companies create brand pages. However, collectively the top hundred brands had just 148,000 followers, with only 12 percent of the brands maintaining a link on their home pages to their Google+ page.

When BrightEdge compiled its data last week, Google had 65,000 followers on Google+, the largest number of any brand. Other top brands like Coke, McDonald’s and Verizon had only dozens of fans. Over two dozen of the top 100 brands had zero Google+ fans.

Here is a list of Google+ pages from top brands, based on a chart by Millward Brown, the advertising firm, called “Brandz Top 100 Most Valuable Brands.” Included are each page’s Google+ fan count, as well as the corresponding Facebook fan count. Fan numbers are from November 23, 2011.
