Business Description & Category
The app allows us to display the Company name, Category, and description, allowing the users to get to know about the company and its services.

Location
The profile display also includes the office address and a location on Google maps which makes locating the company very easy and quick.
Timings
Users can also display their working days and timings in their profile just like in a Google business submission. This totally relieves our contacts from the efforts of looking for our timings on our website or contacting us to find out info about our availability.
Email Address & Website
Eliminating the need to Google our details or call us to ask our contact info, the profile allows the users to display their email id and website URL. The inclusion of these details is just what we loved about it.
Automated Messages
And here comes the best part. The Business App gives us the benefit of automated messages and quick replies.


Greeting Message
Greeting your customers who contact you as soon as they have sent a message, an automated greeting message does the job of wishing them immediately.

Away Message
Dont keep your customers waiting for your reply and keep them informed about your availability. The automated away message simplifies our life so much. An away message set to be delivered when you are not available, lets your customers know when to get back to you and save their time and gives a nice and professional communication to them.

Quick Replies
This has just made our life plain-sailing. The WhatsApp quick replies feature provides businesses with the benefit of saving messages which they want to send to their customers. Not just one, but multiple messages can be saved in the quick replies and sent out as and when required.

Also keeping us informed and updated on the status of the delivered messages, the app provides the statistics of the messages sent, messages read, messages received etc. The statistics let you analyze the utilization and the response rate to the messages being sent.

A great app to start the new year with, the Whatsapp Business will definitely change the way businesses especially small and medium businesses communicate and get conversions.
