Your text attendant
Your auto attendant routes calls.
Your text attendant routes leads.

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.

Key features
From truck wrap to structured lead.
Local routing. Corporate visibility.

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.

Questions answered
SMS for franchises —
how it works.

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.

TextingOnly operates under NDAs with all active clients and does not publish client names publicly. Qualified prospects may request a confidential reference call — ask your contact at TextingOnly during your demo or quote conversation, and we’ll arrange an introduction with an appropriate reference in your vertical.
