In the fast-paced world of communication, businesses are constantly on the lookout for ways to engage their customers more effectively. Rich Communication Services (RCS) is one of the latest advancements in messaging technology, allowing brands to deliver rich, interactive experiences directly to customers’ mobile devices. At MsgClub, a well-known and trusted communication solution provider, we are proud to offer RCS as part of our comprehensive suite of services.
This blog post will guide you through the process of getting started with RCS on the MsgClub platform, from registering your company with Google to launching your first RCS campaign.
Step 1: Register Your Company with Google for RCS Verification
The first step in utilizing RCS messaging is registering your company with Google for verification. This ensures that your brand is recognized as trustworthy and legitimate, providing customers with confidence in the messages they receive from your business.
What you’ll need to provide during the registration process:
- Company ID and Address Proof: Submit official documents verifying your business’s identity and location.
- Online Presence Information: Include details about your company’s website, signup forms, and other relevant online presence information that reflect your business’s legitimacy.
As part of this process, Google will create a Google RCS Brand Profile for your business. This profile is essential for your brand’s digital presence in the RCS ecosystem, and it includes the following key details:
- Brand Name: Your official Sender ID for RCS messages.
- Company Logo: Displayed in your RCS messages, helping with brand recognition.
- Banner Image: A visual representation of your business or campaign.
- Contact Information: The designated contact person’s name, phone number, and email.
- Business Description: A brief description of your company and services.
Once this information is submitted, Google will review the details and verify your business.
Step 2: Get Your Brand Name as a Sender ID
After successful registration and verification, Google assigns your Brand Name as the official Sender ID for all RCS messages. This ensures that customers know exactly who is messaging them, establishing trust and encouraging interaction with your brand.
Step 3: Submit RCS Content Templates for Approval
Before you start sending RCS messages, it’s important to ensure that your message content adheres to Google’s guidelines. You’ll need to create message templates and submit them for approval via MsgClub.
Steps to follow:
- Create Rich Content Templates: RCS allows you to go beyond text messaging by including:
- Rich media such as images, videos, or audio.
- Interactive elements like buttons for quick replies or call-to-action (e.g., “Buy Now,” “Learn More”).
- Carousels and dynamic content for promotions, surveys, or customer support.
- Submit for Verification: Once your templates are ready, submit them via MsgClub for Google’s approval. Google will review your content to ensure it complies with its messaging policies and guidelines.
- Approval Process: Once approved, you’ll be able to use these templates in your RCS campaigns.
Step 4: Start Sending RCS Messages to Your Customers
With your brand name verified and message templates approved, you’re all set to start using RCS for customer engagement. Here’s how:
- Send Messages Using Your Verified Brand Name: Your MsgClub-verified brand name will appear as the sender, giving customers confidence in the authenticity of your messages.
- Use Approved Templates: Ensure that all messages sent adhere to the templates that have been approved by Google.
- Monitor and Optimize: MsgClub offers tools to track real-time delivery reports and read receipts. Use this data to monitor campaign performance and optimize future messaging strategies.
