I export the agenda using org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files. If 
you have access to a server, it is enough to point 
org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file to the right location in your 
server and then adding the ics file location in google calendar 
(Other calendars/Add by URL). You can automate this with a timer:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
  "~/public_html/calendar.ics")
  (run-with-idle-timer (* 60 60) t 
  'org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files) 
#+END_SRC

If you do not have access to a server, you could use github 
(https://pages.github.com/) or bitbucket 
(https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/publishing-a-website-on-bitbucket-221449776.html) 
to create a website for your account. Then you can point 
org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file to the repo of your website and 
commit and push every time that you export the agenda to the ics 
file. In this case change org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
accordingly.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
  "/path/to/personal/website/repo/calendar.ics")
#+END_SRC

If you do not like timers, you can also automate the process 
creating an sh file:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  #!/bin/bash
  emacsclient -a '' -e "(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files nil)"
  cd /path/to/personal/website/repo
  git add calendar.ics
  git commit -m "Update calendar"
  git push
#+END_EXAMPLE

And then using a cronjob.

Best,

-- 
Jorge.
