Verified SMS empowers businesses by enhancing conversations with users, building trust, and preventing scams. Each SMS has sender verification and branding included, making these messages safer and more trustworthy.

Providing a safer messaging experience is becoming more important, especially as it is something that is increasingly being demanded by end users.

Your SMS will be delivered along with your brand information, company logo, business name and description. Each SMS is verified by Google and comes with a verification tick as part of your messages to increase trust in your brand and give your recipients confidence that they are dealing with the genuine sender.

It can also be used to increase your conversion rates by enhancing your messages with link previews to get your audience’s attention, increase click-through-rates and generate increased revenue for your business.

Verified SMS can currently be received by users who are using Google Messages on an Android device to receive their SMS. It is expected that in the coming months this reach will be further expanded to deliver the functionality to a wider range of users.

Those who do not have Verified SMS enabled will still receive your standard SMS in the way that they do now.
