QlynkWhy does a Messenger link open in the browser?
An m.me link opened in a mobile browser can send the visitor to the Messenger web page, where they have to log in before writing. For a business Facebook page that receives quote or booking requests, the first message is the key moment. The more direct the access, the more conversations get started.
