Today’s MarketingGoogle adds Facebook Messenger links to Business Profiles
Google is emailing businesses to say it is automatically adding Facebook Messenger m.me links to their Google Business Profiles. Darcy Burk shared one of the emails on X and asked if others saw a wave of these updates. Search Engine Roundtable says it has not seen Google add m.me links to profiles before. An m.me link opens a Messenger chat with a Facebook Page.
Our take
Google may now send local searchers straight into a Messenger chat you never set up on your profile. Check your Business Profile today and confirm the link points to the right Facebook Page. If no one on your team watches Messenger, either staff it or remove the link, because an unanswered chat from a ready buyer costs you the sale.
