WhatsApp Business is not just regular WhatsApp with a different icon. It is a complete marketing and customer service tool that most business owners never fully use. This course walks you through the eight key features of WhatsApp Business, how to use it for marketing, the critical differences between the business and personal versions, and how to link your WhatsApp Business account directly to Google My Business so customers can message you straight from search results. It also covers the top five mistakes to avoid.

Why We Love This Course

1. It covers a specific, high value integration that most business owners miss. Linking WhatsApp to Google My Business lets customers message you directly from search, which can increase conversions.
2. Over 5,600 students have enrolled, and reviews highlight that the course is very helpful, insightful, and an eye opener. One student said they thought they knew it all until everything was broken down in detail.
3. The course is short and actionable. Under an hour of video across 27 lectures. You can improve your business messaging setup in a single afternoon.
4. The instructor is from YesHello, a platform built for collaborative WhatsApp customer service, so he understands the pain points of small business messaging.

A note: the course last updated in November 2020. WhatsApp Business has added features since then (like Flows and more payment integrations). The core concepts of using WhatsApp for business, the eight features discussed, and the Google My Business integration are still accurate. But for the very latest features, you may need supplementary resources. However, for a practical, foundational course that gets you up and running quickly, this is a solid choice.
