TextingOnly adds a text attendant to every franchise location — OTTO qualifies inbound inquiries, routes them to the correct territory, and prepares the franchisee before the first call happens. Corporate sees the network. Each location owns the conversation.
Your phone system routes calls automatically. Your website has a contact form. Both are working. But across every location, there is a segment who saw your truck, your door hanger, your Google ad — and would rather text than call. Without a text attendant, that intent goes unrouted and uncaptured.
OTTO handles the SMS conversation the way your auto attendant handles a call — routes by intent, captures what matters, and delivers a structured lead to the right franchisee with local number, local routing, and attribution back to the campaign that generated it.
Every channel a franchise runs — door hangers, truck wraps, paid search, GBP, seasonal mailers — connects to the same OTTO qualification engine. One platform for every territory and every entry point.
TextingOnly doesn’t change what you’re running. It adds an automated text response channel to every placement already generating awareness — and routes each lead to the right location automatically.
Seasonal campaigns, past customer re-engagement, and annual service reminders all deploy simultaneously across every location — personalized per territory, automated per reply. Corporate configures once. OTTO handles the rest.
Every contact who ever texted in is on the list. TextingOnly runs the plays — no manual lift, no developer required. See all playbooks →
How does TextingOnly give every franchise location a local SMS intake flow?
Each franchise location gets its own dedicated local number, OTTO flow configuration, and attribution reporting — all managed from a single corporate dashboard. Corporate pushes approved campaign templates to all locations simultaneously. Each location’s lead data stays isolated. Performance is visible at both location and brand level in the same dashboard view, in real time, with scan-to-lead reporting per territory, per channel, and per drop date.
Can corporate run national SMS campaigns and route leads to local franchise locations?
Yes. TextingOnly supports national campaign deployment with local routing. Corporate runs a national QR or SmartLink campaign — one URL, one creative. OTTO detects the contact’s geo signal at opt-in and routes the lead to the nearest franchise location’s queue. Each location receives only their local leads. Corporate sees aggregate performance across all locations without any cross-location data exposure between franchisees.
How does TextingOnly handle customer lists and remarketing for franchise groups?
Every contact who texts in is added to the franchisee’s owned SMS list — TCPA-documented and attributed to the originating entry point. Corporate can deploy remarketing campaigns to aggregate opted-in lists with local routing. Each franchisee retains their own list. Customer data is never shared between franchise locations, satisfying both carrier compliance and franchisee data agreements that are standard in most franchise network contracts.
Is multi-location franchise SMS marketing TCPA compliant?
Yes. Each location’s contacts opt in through that location’s entry point with opt-in timestamps stored per contact. 10DLC brand registration is completed at the corporate level, with each location’s number registered as part of the brand campaign. Compliance is managed centrally and applied locally across every franchise location from day one — no per-franchisee compliance management required.
TextingOnly adds a text attendant to your existing marketing stack — alongside your phone system and web forms. Every marketing surface you’re already running connects into one OTTO intake and routing engine. When a prospect texts in from any entry point — door hanger QR, truck wrap, paid search SmartLink, or GBP — OTTO qualifies the inquiry, routes it to the correct territory, and prepares the franchisee before outreach begins. Service type, location, timeline, and contact info are captured as structured intake data. Each location has its own dedicated number, 10DLC registration, users, and reporting. Corporate sees the full network. Each franchisee owns their territory.
10DLC is the carrier registration system that authorizes businesses to send SMS. Each franchise location needs its own 10DLC-registered number to ensure texts are delivered reliably. TextingOnly registers each location separately — own number, own compliance record, own sending volume. One location’s compliance issue does not affect another. Corporate can also have a national number for broadcast campaigns that routes leads locally.
Yes. TextingOnly supports national campaign deployment with local routing. Corporate configures one campaign — seasonal offer, new service launch, promotion — and deploys it across all locations simultaneously. Dynamic keywords personalize each message with the local franchisee name, number, and city. Leads route to the appropriate location automatically. Corporate sees attribution across the entire network. Each franchisee sees only their own leads.
Every inquiry becomes a TCPA-documented contact record tied to its originating territory, campaign, and entry point — structured intake data that persists for future outbound campaigns. TextingOnly runs outbound nudge campaigns to partial intakes, seasonal promotions to past customers, re-engagement campaigns to dormant contacts, and promotional playbooks to the full opted-in list per territory. No manual lift. The contact record compounds with every campaign.
When a prospect starts but does not complete the intake conversation, OTTO enrolls them in an automated nudge sequence — a follow-up SMS that invites them to continue or schedule a call. The partial contact data already captured is preserved and visible to the franchisee. Nothing leaks out of the funnel. Every unfinished conversation gets a next step without any staff intervention.
Yes. Each location’s contacts opt in through that location’s entry point with TCPA consent timestamps stored per contact. 10DLC brand registration is completed at the corporate level, with each location’s number registered as part of the brand campaign. Compliance is managed centrally and applied locally across every franchise location from day one.
OTTO routes inbound inquiries automatically by ZIP code, campaign source, QR code, SmartLink, or territory assignment — ensuring the correct franchisee receives the structured inquiry while corporate maintains network-wide visibility. Each territory has its own routing rules, attribution reporting, and local number. No manual dispatch required at first touch.
Yes. Each franchise location can operate with its own local number, user access, routing rules, attribution reporting, and 10DLC registration while remaining connected to the broader corporate network. One location’s compliance record or sending activity does not affect any other location. Corporate sees the full network. Each franchisee sees and owns their own territory.
Corporate teams can view attribution, inquiry activity, routing performance, and campaign engagement across the full franchise network while each location maintains ownership of its own conversations and contacts. Network-wide reports show which territories are converting marketing spend, which entry points are generating qualified inquiries, and how campaigns are performing at both the location and rollup level.
OTTO captures structured intake information — service type, location, timeline, contact details — routes the inquiry to the appropriate territory, and prepares the franchisee before outreach begins. The Prepare Caller feature notifies the customer that the local franchisee will be calling from a specific number with their details already in hand. This reduces cold starts, improves answer rates, and ensures operational continuity across every location in the network.
