Why your WhatsApp greeting message is your real first impression
For most small businesses in India, WhatsApp is where a first-time customer actually makes contact — not a contact form, not a phone call. Whatever greeting message fires the moment they message you sets the tone for the entire conversation before a human ever replies. A generic "Hi, thanks for contacting us" wastes that moment; a good greeting welcomes the customer, tells them in one line what the business does, and invites them to say what they need, so the conversation moves forward immediately instead of stalling on "how can I help you?"
Set it once as your WhatsApp Business auto-reply
WhatsApp Business lets you set a Greeting Message that sends automatically to any new or returning-after-14-days contact. This free generator writes 5 different greeting options for your business type and chosen tone — friendly, formal, warm, or playful — each kept to 300 characters or fewer so it reads cleanly as a single WhatsApp message rather than getting cut off in a notification preview. Every option renders in a live WhatsApp-style preview above so you can see exactly how it will look in a real chat before you copy it.
Pick the option that matches how your business actually talks to customers, then open WhatsApp Business > Settings > Business Tools > Greeting Message, paste it in, and turn it on.
Pairing your greeting with an away message
A greeting message only covers the moment someone first messages you — it doesn't tell them anything about when you'll actually reply if you're not online. Pair it with an away message that states your working hours, so customers who message outside those hours know when to expect a response instead of wondering if you saw their message at all.
Once your WhatsApp Business profile is set up with a good greeting and away message, add your WhatsApp number to your free BizGo business page so customers can start a chat directly from your page. See the box above to get started.
