WhatsApp Business Setup Complete Guide — Catalog se Automation Tak
India mein WhatsApp ka use 530M+ users hain — bigger than Google search for many SMBs. WhatsApp Business app free hai, but 90% businesses sirf basic chat ke liye use karte hain. Catalog feature, broadcast list, auto-reply, click-to-WhatsApp ads — yeh sab miss kar rahe hain. Yeh guide aapko WhatsApp ko sales channel banane ka A-to-Z method dega.
📲 Account Creation aur Verification
Play Store se 'WhatsApp Business' download karein (separate from regular WhatsApp). Business phone number register karein (preferably dedicated number). OTP verification, then profile setup.
🏢 Business Profile Optimization
Logo, business name, category (sahi select karein), description (200 chars), address, hours, website, email. Profile complete = customer trust badhta hai.
📦 Catalog Setup — Up to 500 Items
Catalog mein products/services add karein with photos, name, price, description, link. Customer in-chat browse kar sakte hain. Restaurant menu ke liye perfect.
🤖 Auto-Reply Messages
Greeting message (first time chat), Away message (off hours), Quick replies (frequently sent messages). Setup: Settings → Business tools → Greeting/Away/Quick replies.
📢 Broadcast Lists vs Groups
Broadcast list: Same message multiple contacts ko but they don't see each other (privacy maintained). Use for offers, updates. Groups: Public discussion (avoid for business).
🔗 WhatsApp Click-to-Chat Link
wa.me/919XXXXXXXX?text=Hi%2C%20I%20want%20more%20info — yeh link website, GMB, email signature, ads mein use karein. Pre-filled message customer ko jaldi convert karta hai.
