I just setup my first Page on Google Plus and immediately searched my profile for the option to set a custom URL (vanity URL) for my Google Plus Page. It took about 10 minutes to realize that there’s no such option.

A quick Google search led me to a service called GPlus.to which allows you create a short URL which redirects to your Google Plus page. I should note this is not a Google product or service. However, since my goal was really just to have a shorter URL which I can remember and is easy to type in, the service met my needs.

• Before: https://plus.google.com/b/106771475441130344412/
• After: gplus.to/wpsite

I’m surprised that Google doesn’t offer this key feature yet. It’s possible that some users do have this feature enabled on their account, but I did not. Have you changed your Google Plus page URL yet? If not, why?
