Google is announcing a great new service for business (and for personal use as well). About a year ago Google bought a company called Grand Central. Their goal was to have one centralized phone number for everything. Google has taken this a step further and here’s what it does:
- When someone calls your Google Number, your office, cell phone, or home phone can all ring, you can set what times of the day the calls should be routed to which number
- Personalized voicemail for whoever is calling
- Transcribes voicemails into emails
- Tracking and reporting
This is really just the tip of the iceberg on what this service can do. With it you can set up a free Google voice number for your website that gets automatically forwarded to your business line (that’s what we do). Yellow Pages charges big bucks for this type of reporting, but it’s available for free with Google Voice (thanks to Google, of course).
Additionally, if you’re on our new software system, you can add a Google “Call Me” button to your website and your customer can make phone calls right from your website to your business line. How cool is that!?
