Without incremental customers, there is no follow-up conversion. Below, we share some methods recommended by ChatGPT to find customers on WhatsApp. Without further ado, let’s get straight to the hard stuff:
PART.01
Google Maps Development Client
1. Open Google Maps (recommended to use computer or mobile browser)
Enter: https://www.google.com/maps
2. Enter industry + region keywords to search for target merchants
Example keywords (suitable for toy sellers/factories): toy shop / toy store / doll store / gift shop / reseller / wholesale.
For example: toy shop Brazil, gift store reseller Malaysia, doll wholesale Philippines

3. Click on the specific merchant in the search results
Check if the WhatsApp contact information appears in the following:
- "Contact Information" column (may display WhatsApp number directly)
- Merchant's "Official website" link → Open the redirected official website and look for the WhatsApp button or number
- Merchant's "Pictures" or "Comments" area → Business cards are sometimes posted and may include WhatsApp in the image
4. Save and add to WhatsApp
- Copy number or http://wa.me link
- Open WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) → Search → Start Chat
- It is recommended to send a friendly message introducing yourself first to avoid being misunderstood as an advertisement.
PART.02

PART.04
