You make like to read this nice lengthy post on the Kissmetrics blog. You'll find a lot of "takeaways" that sum up what you can do.

One key point is that you must continually be engaged, responsive and informative. So the most important thing is that you create a strategy and a plan upfront and stick to it. It takes some time to prepare media and images to create good quality content to become the attention you want.

If you combine your posts with links to your blog you can gain more insights about usage patterns than without. Use some analytics to know when (time/day/events) your posts had the most impact.

You'll want to give good copywriting a shot, see lots of good examples on the copyblogger blog. You compete with all the other posts, so knowledge about magnetic headlines and writing is mandatory.

I guess you know the answer yourself, you have done the first important step, that's verifying your website/domain in your Google+ page.

Now just like any other social network, all you have to do is to it keep active, interesting and engaging.

Don't forget to use the Google+ buttons and/or widgets on your website. also it's good to know that now that you've verified your domain, each new follower/fan to your Google plus, is similar to one click of 1+ button on your website, so if you have 100 followers, the button on the verified domain will show +100.

You've started off correctly by associating the site. You now need to simply use Google+ and build up a following. In this sense, G+ is no different that Facebook...both services only provide social signals for your site if are being sociable.

So start adding people to your circles, participate in relevant discussions and add a link back to your site where appropriate, enable the +1 button on your site for visitors to hit, etc. All of these actions will slowly build a following.

To speed up the process, a company blog where all posts (excerpt only) are posted to Google+ is an excellent idea assuming the blog receives new content regularly.
