2.  Install the Google My Business app one your smart phone.

App Store:

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.vega

 

3.  Enable “Messaging” from within the smart phone app.   

Done!  Now, your potential customers can send you an electronic message, while doing a Local Google (Maps) search, from their phone.   

FYI: this runs separately from your existing email and SMS apps, all within Google's ecosystem.
