It is no secret-People prefer texting rather than phoning. It is faster and certainly more convenient. In this article, we will discuss why you should use message on your Google Business Listing. This should not be overlooked if you are serious about online marketing.

According to TextMagic:
This is why Google offers a FREE text service for all Google, my Business users. Google is now allowing all prospects, clients, or customers to communicate in real-time.
When you integrate this tool into your marketing strategy, a whole new level of communication is accessible. Google my Business listings have become one of the most critical approach for getting ranked locally. But Google my Business messaging will now allow a business owner never to lose these valuable connections.
Wouldn’t you agree that the reason individuals use messaging is that there is instant gratification? That is why you see people living “on their phones.” This is the reason that Google stepped up to the plate. As a business owner, it is essential to have these tools to stay competitive and your business share. When a prospective customer is looking for a product or service, they land on your Google business profile, and if they call and get a voicemail, they move on to the next company.
