Google My Enterprise has added a brand new characteristic to automate responses to buyer messages by way of Google Search and Google Maps. It’s a continuously requested query part the place you enter the FAQs, and Google can reply with solutions when the shopper’s query match.
You counsel questions individuals can ask your enterprise once they begin a chat. Then arrange automated responses to these questions and Google handles the remaining.
This was noticed by Stefan Somborac on Twitter:

Then click on on the “Clients” button and click on on “Messages.” In that part then click on on the three vertical dots after which click on on “Message settings” after which “Handle continuously requested questions.” Sure, it’s a ton of clicks to get there.
Google will then take you to the continuously requested questions part that claims “Counsel questions individuals can ask your enterprise once they begin a chat. Then arrange automated responses to these questions.” There you possibly can click on on “Add a query.”

Here’s what it appears like with questions:
Stefan defined you can create as much as 10 FAQs, every query’s most size is 40 characters, and the answer is most is 500 characters. Plus, for you SEOs on the market, you possibly can embody hyperlinks in your solutions.
I suppose you probably have chat enabled, automated responses can result in sooner response instances. Since many companies wouldn’t have the time or assets to have somebody able to reply questions, this resolution helps.
