Google has added the ability to share any SoundCloud URL to Google+ circles via a widget that appears automatically within the post. And because Google search pulls social results from Google+ activity, SoundCloud music and sounds shared via the new Google+ integration will rank higher in search results.

With the integration Google+ followers can can play sounds from [SoundCloud](http://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/08/12/new-today-share-sounds-to-google/?ref=hypebot.com) within Google+ without opening open up a new tab. They just need to enable the widget when they post sounds so they can be shared. Google and Soundclud ate suggesting the use of the hashtags: #soundcloudplus and #summersound.

Given Google's reach, this is potentially big news for artists and music marketers. Some artists including [Pearl Jam](https://plus.google.com/104698289369046443369/posts/9uygbDxMvwp?ref=hypebot.com), [Snoop Lion](https://plus.google.com/+SnoopDogg/posts?ref=hypebot.com) and [Armin Van Buuren](https://plus.google.com/+ArminvanBuuren/posts/X19a2HMFZhm?ref=hypebot.com) are already using the integration to share their latest tracks.
