Google has begun the rollout of Google+ sidebar widgets for websites to promote the new brand pages. It’s only visible to members of the Google+ platform preview group, which anyone can join, but Google is not yet launching this feature to the public. There is a publicly visibleconfiguration tool to create badges and preview badges.
The widget displays a +1 button and an ‘Add to circles’ button for the chosen Google+ page. Google+ is joining Facebook and Twitter in providing sidebar widgets for users to promote their social media pages from their own websites. (via Google Badges Will Let Users Search For Your Name)
