Going All Google with WordPress Plugins

Peanut butter and jelly. Bonnie and Clyde. Yin and yang. Horse and carriage.

Some things just seem to naturally go together.

If you run a WordPress site, then unless you’re running a very unusual site in a very unusual way, you probably have it connected to Google in one way or another. Maybe it’s through Analytics. Or maybe it’s with Adsense. Maybe you use Google Maps. Or maybe you’ve embedded a YouTube video or two.

Whatever it is, if you stop and think about it, you’re probably connected.

Below we’ll give you some more potential connections – seven to be exact. These plugins can help you connect to or integrate Google services in all sorts of ways.
