What if your business could answer customer queries instantly, anytime they’re searching for you? Sounds like a dream? Well, it’s happening now.

With our CRM’s new Conversation AI integration for Google My Business Profile (GMB) chats, real-time customer interaction has never been easier. It's perfect for answering questions, booking services, or resolving issues. This tool makes your business feel accessible and professional without the heavy lifting.

Why Google Business Profile Chats Are a Must

Google Business Profile chat messages are becoming essential for businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive digital world. Why? Let’s break it down:

• Growing Importance of Google Chats: Over 70% of customers look for businesses on Google search, and over half of them prefer instant communication through the chat feature. If your business isn’t utilizing this, you’re missing out on valuable leads.

• Instant Communication: Today’s customers expect immediate answers. GMB chats offer real-time chat conversation, bridging the gap between your business and potential customers.

• Cost-Effective Customer Support: Unlike call centers or email responses that require manual handling, AI-powered GMB chats automate responses, saving you time and money while keeping customers happy.

By optimizing your GMB chat experience, you’re not just keeping up with trends; you’re setting the standard for customer service. Don’t let outdated practices hold your business back when instant messaging is the future.

Features That Transform Customer Communication

Our Conversation AI integration comes packed with features designed to revolutionize how you communicate with customers. Here’s a closer look:

Expanded Communication Channels

Imagine engaging customers seamlessly on the world’s most-used search engine. GMB chats are a helpful partner that connect you directly with people who are already looking for your services, making communication smoother than ever.

Example: A local bakery uses GMB chat to incoming messages about daily specials, boosting foot traffic without a single phone call.

Real-Time Conversations

Nobody likes waiting for responses. With AI-powered instant replies, you can address service inquiries about bookings, pricing, or product availability in seconds.

Example: A salon uses AI to confirm appointments and suggest additional services instantly, increasing revenue.

Simple Setup and Integration

Tech can be intimidating, but this isn’t. The easy setup ensures you’re up and running in no time, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

24/7 Availability

Never miss a customer query or booking requests again. With Conversation AI, your business is always open as a customer service solution, ready to engage day or night, like a human agent that never sleeps.

Example: A fitness center leverages 24/7 chat to answer membership questions, converting late-night inquiries into new sign-ups.

Customizable Responses

Tailor the AI’s tone and responses to match your brand’s voice, creating a consistent and professional impression.
