About the WhatsApp Business directory

The WhatsApp Business directory is a fast, safe, and convenient way for people to find businesses. The directory helps you reach new and existing customers and share your business information through your business profile.
Your business profile helps you establish your business presence on WhatsApp. Use your business profile to tell prospective customers about your business and what you offer.
To benefit fully from the WhatsApp Business directory, complete your business profile thoroughly and update it regularly. The more information you add, the easier it will be for customers to find and contact you. A complete and accurate business profile helps establish trust with your customers.
To help you grow your business on Whatsapp, make sure you include the following information in your business profile:
  • Your business name
  • Your business profile photo with your business logo

  • Your business hours
  • Your business’ Facebook page or Instagram Business profile to your WhatsApp Business account.
