Google SEO and Google Plus for business?

[Admyo]

A Google Places page, which was essentially a directory style listing that showcased your basic business information, pictures, and reviews as part of the “Places” listings. These pages weren’t typically included in the traditional SERPs.
A Google+ Page, which was a separate web property that could be set up within the Google+ social network. Although most businesses opted to use the “Local Business or Place” category, Google+ Pages are available for several different categories, including “Product or Brand,” “Company, Institution or Organization,” and “Arts, Entertainment or Sports”. Google+ Pages have always made social integrations like Google+ circles and hangouts available to page owners.
