FAQ
There is no impact on your existing channels. GBM adds an extra channel for serving the customers from the listing in Google Search, Maps, and Ads.
Dotgo helps you enable the “Messages” option for the listing on Google search, maps, and Ads to the individual stores, thereby enabling the customers to easily communicate with each store.
Dotgo being a partner for Google, helps you with all the approvals and clearances required from Google, besides handling the technical set up and installation processes and integration with your live agent system. If you do not have a live agent system running, we can provide one along with the GBM implementation.
Here are the key differences between GBM and web chat:
| Parameter | GBM | Web Chat |
|---|---|---|
| Chat History Persistence | Brands or consumers can respond to the other up to a duration of 30 days | Short term. Users cannot revert to the brand (or vice-versa) after a few hours |
| Channels of Access | From Google Search, Ads, Maps, Website, and Dialer | From the website alone |
| Ease of Access | Multi-pronged accessibility from search results helps consumers reach brands faster | Requires the user’s presence on the website that could potentially drive the prospects away |
As the GBM chat history persists for a period of 30 days, the brands can strategize on catering to the unsuccessful leads and re-engage with them to improve the conversion rate. For example, when leads stop engaging with a brand after knowing that the products of his/her choice were out of stock, the brands can immediately restock them and reconnect with them.
Yes. GBM being a smartphone-first product is accessible to iOS users through Google Maps, Google Ads, and Google Search.
Brands need to submit information related to their persona that includes the logo, brand assets, link to privacy policy, and other relevant info, along with a consent for GBM implementation. Information pertaining to the use cases that the brands plan to implement and any chatbots that they may have in place would be required.
All the conversations from the user devices to the Google’s server and in the subsequent stages that involve the Dotgo server, are fully encrypted. Brands shall be responsible for processing the user information in accordance with their privacy policies.
There is no extra cost associated with the enablement of the chat option. It is an additional engagement channel that the brands can leverage to up their conversion rates.
We help you integrate the RCS channel into your customer communications, whether for sales, support, services, or other business processes
