CHICAGO - Californer -- What is Google Business Messages?

When customers search for a business on Google website or Google Maps, it shows the result with a lot of information about the business such as address, business hours, reviews, posts etc. Once Google Business Messages is enabled for a business, the result will also show a chat icon using which the customer can start conversation with the business immediately. Customer doesn't have to install or use any other app for this communication.
