WhatsApp for Bangalore Leads: Routing, Speed, and What to Track
Most Bangalore enquiries die in chat. How to use WhatsApp as a sales desk, not a black hole.
In this city the high-intent click is often WhatsApp, not a CRM form. Academies, rentals, clinics, and bakeries close on chat. The leak is response time and the missing script after “hi.”
Make WhatsApp a channel, not a personality
- One business number on the site, ads, and GBP. You can change it later from the Scene Coding admin panel.
- A greeting that asks one qualifying question (course, date, location, budget band).
- Business hours auto-reply that still captures the query.
- Labels: new, booked, junk. Otherwise you will re-ask the same person twice.
- A human SLA: minutes for ads traffic, not “we’ll get back tomorrow.”
Ads into WhatsApp
Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns work when the first message is pre-filled and someone is actually online. They fail when five people share one unlocked phone. Pair with paid media and a landing page that still exists for people who will not chat.
We wire WhatsApp on websites we ship. See contact to brief a build.
FAQ
Should every CTA go to WhatsApp?
No. Forms still matter for B2B and for people who write after 11pm. Offer both; measure which creates booked conversations.
