local governments need communication tools that can keep up with the speed and accessibility that citizens expect. GOGov has always been at the forefront of providing municipalities with easy-to-use, innovative tools that bridge the gap between government and residents. Now, with the latest expansion of our citizen notification system to include SMS/Text and Voice features, we’re offering a fully centralized solution for all local government communication needs.

From email to push notifications to SMS and social media, GOGov’s platform makes it easier than ever for local governments to stay connected with their communities—across every channel.

Why Centralized Communication is Critical for Local Governments

Local governments are often juggling multiple communication platforms: email, social media, websites, mobile apps, and more. But when information is scattered across various tools, it can cause delays, confusion, and missed messages. That’s where GOGov comes in.

Our newly enhanced citizen notifications system offers a one-stop solution for communicating across all key channels—whether it’s critical emergency alerts or routine updates, GOGov simplifies the process. Now you can reach every resident quickly and efficiently, regardless of their preferred communication method.

What’s New: SMS/Text and Voice Capabilities

1. Reach Residents Instantly
GOGov now offers SMS/Text and Voice features, allowing municipalities to broadcast important messages directly to citizens' phones. Whether you need to send out weather warnings, election updates, road closure alerts, or event reminders, our system makes mass communication effortless.

With these new features, residents don’t need to sign up for extra services or download additional apps. They can receive instant alerts right where they are, through the channels they trust most—on their phones.

2. Push Notifications through the Branded Mobile App
Alongside the new SMS and Voice options, GOGov’s platform integrates seamlessly with your municipality-branded mobile app, delivering real-time push notifications to users. These notifications keep residents informed about emergencies, service updates, community news, and more—all in one place.

3. Multi-Channel Alerts, All in One Place
The addition of SMS and Voice complements the already robust suite of communication tools that GOGov offers. You can now manage Email, SMS, Voice, Push Notifications, and Social Media all through a single dashboard, ensuring consistent and coordinated messaging across all channels. With GOGov, local governments can communicate faster, reduce manual work, and keep their communities informed with just a few clicks.
