    Custom URLs for profiles and pages: an update

    Today we're rolling out custom URLs to thousands more verified (and well-known) brands and individuals. If you're part of this expanded roll out, you'll be prompted to claim your preapproved URL via email and/or when you visit your profile or page.

    We’re making these changes over the next few days, and we’ll be offering custom URLs to many more profiles and pages in the future. We appreciate your patience in the interim, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

    With the URLs, you can access people and brands by adding “+name” after google.com/. For example, google.com/+toyota will take you to the Toyota Google+ page.
