Introducing WhatsApp & Text Message Contact Options on GBP
We are thrilled to announce the latest update for Bosseo CRM, an innovative feature designed to streamline communication between your clients and their customers. Introducing WhatsApp & Text Message Contact Options for Google Business Profile (GBP), a feature that offers businesses enhanced pathways to stay connected with customers who prefer messaging over traditional calls. This new addition broadens the scope of contact channels, providing businesses with the flexibility to cater to varying customer preferences.
Why These New Contact Options Matter
Today’s consumers demand quick, convenient communication. Instant messaging is increasingly seen as the preferred mode of interaction, offering businesses the chance to enhance responsiveness and build trust through effective channels like WhatsApp and SMS. Implementing these options on your clients’ GBP listings not only boosts engagement but also enriches the business’s profile completeness.
How to Enable This Feature
Within Bosseo CRM, enabling WhatsApp & Text Message contact options is straightforward. Traverse to the “Reputation” tab, followed by “GBP Optimization.” Just below the Phone Number field, you’ll find the sections for Text Message and WhatsApp. Filling both will prioritize the Text Message as the primary contact method displayed on the GBP listing.
Use Cases for Different Industries
Home Improvement
In the home improvement sector, quick replies can make the difference between landing a new job or losing a potential client. With WhatsApp and SMS options, businesses can swiftly respond to inquiries, confirm appointments, or provide estimates via instant messaging, ensuring clients get the timely service they expect and enhancing overall customer satisfaction.
Legal Practices
For lawyers, communication needs to be both efficient and discreet. Text messaging and WhatsApp integration allow legal professionals to communicate promptly with clients regarding case updates, schedule consultations, or send reminders about court dates privately. This form of communication can also help maintain confidentiality while being accessible.
Medical Practices
In the healthcare industry, patient engagement is crucial. By enabling WhatsApp and SMS options, healthcare professionals can offer patients a fast, accessible way to confirm appointments, receive reminders for consultations, or handle other routine queries. This not only improves patient satisfaction but also reduces the no-show rate for appointments.
What’s Next for GBP Optimization?
At Bosseo CRM, we’re continually innovating. Upcoming on the enhancement roadmap is the GBP Post Scheduler, a tool designed to enable viewing, creating, and scheduling GBP posts directly within Bosseo. This will help your clients maintain an active presence on local search platforms, driving further customer engagement.
