Back in October, Google announced a fantastic update to Google +: Vanity URLs. This now allows the ability for users to create custom URLs that are easier to remember (like google.com/+ZeonSolutions).
In order to claim your vanity URL, you must meet the following criteria:

• Have a profile photo
• At least 10 followers
• An account > 30 days old

Businesses that have a linked website or verified local business can claim their custom URL. More information on verification can be found at the Google + Help Center.
Upon logging into your account, if you are eligible, you will notice a button that says, “get url” at the top of your page.


You can then choose the custom URL:
