The utility of Facebook's Facepile has finally been imitated by Google. With Google+'s Badge Tool, practicing some bragging acts and show-offs on your page on who's following you or subscribed to you is possible.
Nothing exciting-it's simply having your subscriber's face on your pages and not simply dull icons. Technically speaking, it's just like Google's version of Like, which is +1: different name, same thing.
How to use it? Simply go to the tool and enter your Google+ page number. After some reading and further formalities, you'll be able to have the code you need to install the badge on your site. The Small Badge and Add to Circle button enable your website readers, followers, and visitors to subscribe to your page without leaving your site. On the other hand, using Icons, which have no capacity to show an update on your number of page subscribers and to let visitors to subscribe for your Google+ page without exiting from your site, is not a choice if you prefer people to subscribe to you right after chancing upon your site.
Basically Like Facebook's Like

It's like showing distinct online users who regard your page/post as a captivating one, thus making it more well-liked and credible on the reader's side. Certainly, having this is like bragging about the people who not just chanced upon your site but enjoyed it as well.
Search Engine Land is so affluent with sharing Google's latest e-mail concerning this feature. It reads like this:
"If you have linked your Google+ page to your site, the count of +1s on the badge will represent the +1s across your brand including those from your home page, your Google+ page, and any ads you've linked via Social Extensions.
Please note, once you've linked your Google+ page to your site, there may be a delay before the count shown on the badge includes +1s from across your brand. During this delay, the badge will show the count of +1s from your Google+ page."
