Placing my website in progress online dangerous for future google seo - seo

I'm building a website for a company, I build this website offline so google won't index it, with the reason that google don't see the codes yet and thinks at the official launch that we copied the text/codes from an other website.
Sadly I encounterd a problem. I need to implant the facebook social plugin, sadly does this plugin only work when the site is online. But as I said putting it online can be dangerous for future Google SEO.
Is there an other option where I can see the facebook plugin but it is not online yet or is it okay for me to just place it online already on (for example) www.example.com and later put the released product on (for example) www.released.com.
Any toughts on this problem?

Why don't you place the website online in a folder that is blocked for Googlebot via robots.txt?
That way you can test all the online elements work and not have to worry about users and search engines finding it and listing it.
An alternative could be to use the .htaccess file to limit access only to your IP address - that way, you'd be the only one to see the site live.

Google results link my site to a spammy Michael Kors site

I tried using Google Webmaster tools to re-crawl the site and it hasn't helped.
Does anyone know why the link on Google might say 'halalgems.com', but redirect to another site?
The description is also incorrect.
Unfortunately, it appears as though your website has been hacked, and not a problem with Google.
After looking at the response from your website once someone goes to it from that google page, it is your website that does the redirecting.
I cannot determine the source of this issue, as that would likely require access to your server. Good luck with tracking it down!

Create a copy of my website on Cpanel

I want to link my mobile variant website version to the desktop version i.e "view website in desktop". You click this button and it will take you to the desktop version only. Program I use is Xara Web Designer. CPanel is where the files are hosted.
They have advised I need to create two copies of my website to do this.
I can duplicate my website but how would I go about uploading the two copies to CPanel? Also I would need to remove the robots.txt file from one of them because I do not want google crawling the duplicate site (SEO Issues).
Would I need two domains? I want to keep just one.
Thanks in advance please let me know if you need clarification on anything.
There are better solutions with regards to SEO such as making your website 'mobile responsive'. But to answer your specific question, you are probably best to create a mobile website and set it up on a 'm.' subdomain (so you only need your 1 domain name). You can do this from cPanel under 'Subdomains'.
As for no-indexing the mobile website with robots.txt, the correct method is to use the 'canonical' tag. This is a good guide from Google on the subject: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/overview/select-config?hl=en

Redirecting or replacing old Google Site with another (Ruby on Rails)

My cousin has given me her old website to "redo" which is on a Google Sites template. I have separately created a static website with Ruby on Rails setup and Bootstrap but am now scratching my head on how to transition her old Google Site to this new layout (I want to keep the original domain name).
Also, the good thing about Google Sites is that when I search for her business, it pops up on the right side of the page and sometimes pops up at the top for google local search, which is obviously great for marketing/SEO.
I did read something that Google doesn't support other platforms (I think) which is why I'm wondering if I can redirect and still retain the SEO benefits. Any resources or suggestions would be great, thanks!
Setup your new site with new ROR template.
Register and verify your new domain and old one on Google Webmaster
Create a custom 404 page for old domain which suggests visiting new domain.
Redirect your old urls to new one by a 1:1 redirection with 301, "Moved Permanently", like www.oldone.com/games to www.newone.com/games
Submit your sitemap of old one to Google and BIng, they will see 301 and rewrite their crawl cache.
Fill out change of address in Google webmaster and add new site's sitemap.
Above method is the best SEO friendly site moving method.
ps: Not exactly ROR question .
Edit: I don't really know about google pages but one of doing this would be, deploy ROR site somewhere and use iframe in google page to project it to google page.
In your google page,
.
use options like height="100%" to cover the entire page.

Okay I have been wondering this same question for a while and these are what I have found.
Google Now doesn't support my PHP site but it does support another Drupal site of mine.
The only page that Google Now provides integration is here: https://www.google.com/landing/now/integrations.html
I found that quite some of the supported websites have rss.xml on its root.
So here's what I recommend to do: (I'm still trying so I'm not certain if the following methods are worth trying)
Use Drupal or other well-known CMS in case Google Now only supports a few kinds of websites.
Go to that page and try to get in contact with Google. (I haven't got replies yet though)
Try to add an rss.xml on your site's root and add a link to it at your default page. (I haven't got time to try it yet)
