“Over the years, I have seen answer rates decrease because customers don’t have a great way of knowing if the caller actually represents the business they say they are with,” said Nick Newsom, CEO of Ytel. “With Verified SMS and Verified Calls that all changes. We help businesses gain a far greater level of trust from their customers while increasing answer rates and reducing threats from bad actors.”
Verified SMS and Verified Calls by Google works by authenticating that each text message and call was sent by the business registered to send it. If verified, consumers using an Android phone with up-to-date messaging and phone applications will see the sender’s business name, logo, and a verification badge. These important verifications notify customers who are contacting them and instills added confidence in consumers that it isn’t a scam or spam.

Brands are always looking for a better way to effectively communicate with their prospects and customers. Having the Brand logo at the top of the conversation, with their business name, and a verified check badge establishes the trust needed to have meaningful conversations.
