Can we use generic Gmail for brand pages on Google Plus?

Hi all!

I'm trying to use my brand Gmail account for creating a brand page on Google+ and it's not working and getting appeals to Google rejected (via signup).

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a brand Gmail account for your Google+ brand page? Or can you connect it to a personal account without Google associating your account with the page / brand.

Thanks a lot, this is really bugging me!

I think I remember hearing from someone who banged into the same wall. The solution they found was first verifying a second personal email address for their Google+ account that used their email on the business's mail server - [e-mail]

I've been looking for a Google source that confirms or explains this, but so far no luck. So I'm not sure about my memory at this point. However, it seems to be an avenue worth exploring.

Hi Ted, thanks for the reply. That's what we've kind of got this end. I'll let you know how I get on!
