But Thursday, Page was the centerpiece of the dialogue with Wall Street analysts. Google's co-founder talked extensively about the rapid growth of Google+ and described his vision for Google's products. He differentiated between its core search advertising franchise, its existing fast-growing consumer products like YouTube, the Android mobile operating system and Google's Chrome Web browser; and promising newcomers like Google+ and the Google Offers discount service that launched in San Francisco and New York in recent days.

"We have substantially increased our velocity and execution this quarter -- a key goal of mine since taking over as CEO" in April, Page said, in comments he also shared on Google+. "It's why I created a new, product-focused management structure -- with a clear leader responsible for each product area."

While 2-week-old Google+ has a minute fraction of Facebook's more than 700 million users, Page even took a thinly veiled jab at Google's social networking nemesis, as he talked about the future potential for Google+.

"Google as a company believes in users owning their own data," said Page. "Some of our competitors don't believe in that. But we believe users will ultimately move to services that reflect their best interests and work well for them."

Page told analysts he has another goal, for people to use Google products "twice a day, like their toothbrush."

Olson said investors and analysts have been hungering for the extensive comments from the new CEO they received Thursday. In addition to sharing first-ever user statistics on Google+ -- 10 million users sending and receiving 1 billion pieces of content a day -- Page told analysts that Google is seeing 550,000 activations of new Android phones and tablets each day, up from 400,000 a day in May.

"I think it was significant," Olson said of Page's performance. "I think when you're listening to a CEO discuss his vision, it just helps you gain confidence around his story and his strategy. I think it was something investors were looking for, and I'm glad he did it."
