Dear Google: Upgrade Google Plus, Google Blogger, Google Domains

Dear Google, 

Here are a few suggestions for fixing major issues with Google products to retain existing users.

Verify All Google Plus Profiles


Google Blogger should be more user-friendly.
Google should make an effort to eliminate all fake Google Plus profiles. +The Marketing Square and +Rebekah Brown and our clients enjoy G+ because it's an international platform.

Clients, businesses and entrepreneurs can make genuine introductions through Google Plus. However, in the last year, there are so many spammers and fake profiles that it's impossible to have a valid profile with actual followers and meaningful interactions.

You should weed out the trash because there is a core group of users who like Google Plus, but you're losing us because of the garbage accounts that take away the value.

Verify Google Plus Account Users

People should have to verify profiles just as businesses have to verify their accounts. Your competitors Facebook and Twitter have a means for vetting the accounts which validates the entire platform. No one wants spammers, garbage and fake profile followers.

Make Google Blogger Simpler to Setup and Use

You should be pushing your Google Blogger with easier access to the Blogger URLs, and with a simpler template setup for new users. Blogger could be competition to SquareSpace if you actually organized it from a users' point of view.

1. You offer Google Domains
2. You offer Google Blogger
3. Tie-in the Google Plus account and you have an international location for entrepreneurs and businesses.

Simplify Google Blogger, Offer Packages

Google Blogger has an awkward and difficult location process. Allow users to share their blog with a Google Domain and simple setup for one price. Add the Google Plus profile and you have a user-friendly platform on the most powerful search engine in the world.

Use Everyday People to Test Your Products

Google products seem to be setup by the most technologically complicated staff. Google should hire everyday people to tell you an easier way to explain your products.

Google has cryptic, complex and unnecessary steps to almost every Google product. More consumers and entrepreneurs and businesses would use your products if you make them user-friendly.

Be the Alternative to SquareSpace

The Google Blogger platform should be simpler to use to compete with SquareSpace. Google
There's value to Google Blogger, Domains, Google Plus.
Blogger has been around for a long time and could become the alternative to SquareSpace.

Blogger has a platform that could be made easier for users. I set them up for my clients but it's always layers of time to design and create what could be much faster and leaner for non-tech-savvy users.

Offer some templates with a few clicks here and there, and the ability to change colors and Bingo! You'll have a SquareSpace competitor with content that is owned by the owners AND the ability to own a domain through Google Domains which are $2 less than GoDaddy.

Just my 2 cents.
