1- Plus One Button

There are many plugins that will create a +1 button including my favorite WPSocialite. If you want to add a +1 in a post like you see above, you can get the code right here.

2- Profile and Community Badges

These badges are easy to customize, look nice on just about any site, are super simple to implement and don’t slow your website down. If you’d like to place a Google+ badge on your website click here.

3- Google Authorship

The secret is out on Google Authorship. You should be adding Authorship to every piece of content you create. Google is efforting to track every piece of content ever created on the web all the way down to the human being that created it. You can learn how to claim Google Authorship here. If you use WordPress there are free plugins which can easily add Authorship to your site. Once you have Authorship setup, you can verify by using the Rich Snippets Testing Tool.

4- Google Share Button (Interactive Posts)

The Google+ share button is similar to “Reshare” feature within Google+. When someone clicks the share button they are NOT giving your article a +1. They are simply sharing your article with their network on Google+.

5- Embedded Posts

Comments, +1′s and reshares all carry the same weight and relevancy. In addition you get an active follow button where visitors can connect with you without leaving your site similar to badges. Learn more about embedded Google+ posts here.

6- Google Sign-In

Google Sign-in is geared more towards application and SAAS developers than traditional bloggers. But if you live in that world then Google Sign-in allows you provide Google+ users with additional value and ease of use. Google Sign-in also gives your application the ability to communicate with their connections.

7- Google+ Comments

You can add Google+ Comments and their functionality via several different WordPress plugins.

The most popular and powerful Google+ Comment plugin is Comments Evolved for WordPress.  If you would like to separate Google+ Comments from Traditional comments then Google+ Comments Box is the plugin for you.

8- Content Recommendations (Mobile)

Add Google+ content recommendations to your mobile website with Google+ Content Recommendations. This tool adds some additional functionality to your mobile visitors. This feature is not going to make or break your success online but does provide more opportunities for engagement on Google+.

9- Hangout Button

The Google Hangout Button provides one-click functionality for web visitors to start a hangout using a web application included inside it. An example of this functionality is Slideshare Hangout Button, which allows you to view Slideshare slides while conducting a Google Hangout.
