Proper response when random “Pages” circle you on Google+

google-plusgoogle-plus-circlesgoogle-plus-pages

On a regular basis, I get notifications that some Google+ page has added me to their circles.

  • I can understand why a stranger (a person) would circle me, but why is a page circling me?

  • These pages are never relevant to me so I always block them, just to be safe. What is a proper reaction?

Update: I'm aware that a page always "circles me back" if I circle it, but that's not the case here — I've never heard of them before they circled me. I'm guessing that perhaps the page manager finds my stream interesting but it's more likely to be a spam job.

It is proper to do nothing and let them circle you. Think of it like Twitter when a brand follows you; it's not a problem. I would not block them as standard practice (only block and/or report when appropriate).
