How to Get a Custom URL / Username for your Google Plus Profile
Claim a custom URL to more easily share your Google+ page or profile with others!
Custom URLs are short, easy to remember web addresses that link directly to your Google+ profile or page (like google.com/+JenniferArlemMolina or google.com/+jaMolinaCreative). They make it easier for you to connect with others, as well as promote your content, and today we're significantly expanding their availability to people and pages on Google+.
If your profile meets the following criteria, you’ll now be able to claim a custom URL:
- Has a profile photo, and
- Has at least 10 followers, and
- Has an account that's at least 30 days old
Meanwhile, any brand or business that has a linked website or is a verified local business can claim a custom URL for their Google+ page. Link and verification info is available in the Google+ Help Center: http://goo.gl/RMpxP.
Once you meet the eligibility criteria, just visit your profile or page to begin the claiming process. If you don't see the option yet, don't worry: we're expanding availability throughout the week, and you'll see the in-product notice as soon as your custom URL is ready.
