Numa enables texting with a business phone, even if it’s a landline, allowing merchants to send and receive text messages from an existing phone number and catch calls when the business can’t grab them. That’s invaluable for small and medium-sized businesses juggling phone calls from customers and clients as they re-open or plan for it in the future. Recognizing that missed calls can mean lost business, Numa aims to ensure Main Street USA businesses thrive with easy-to-use technology that works with their existing phone system and delights their customers.
“Helping businesses improve and enhance ways to communicate with their customers has always been a focus for Google,” said Fei Gao, Partnerships Manager, Google. “We’re excited that Numa is integrating with Google’s Business Messages to meet their customers where they are, create connections that count, and respond to messages that allow program optimization.”
