What is Google Business Messages for hotels?

When a traveler is looking for a hotel on Google, the results now show a “chat” button option, so travelers can talk directly to the hotel through Google. This new service can put your property ahead of the OTAs and your competition.

Chats are really popular and can boost your direct bookings. Even Google knows that!

How do I get Google Business Messages?

You probably already have an account at Google My Business (if you don’t, you need one right now!). That is the only way to display your hotel on the search engine as a business and on the Google Hotels page.

Surprisingly, many hotels still don’t pay proper attention to these tools. Maybe they will now with Google Business Messages and their impressive numbers.

Google chat is a powerful tool on its own. But when you power it up with a top-notch solution, the sky’s the limit.
