Getting contacts into SMS from every surface and channel.

Land is about capturing inbound interest and turning it into a mobile interaction. QR codes, SmartLinks, Click-to-Text, social bio links — every surface becomes an entry point. Unlike forms, ads, or social clicks — every SMS interaction becomes an owned contact you control permanently.

Where conversations happen and OTTO structures every interaction.

Engage is where OTTO runs the play — inbound or outbound. Qualification flows, reply automations, language funnels, dynamic personalization. Every conversation captures structured data and delivers an owned contact. No reply doesn’t mean no conversion — OTTO continues the interaction automatically through nudge sequences until the contact responds or opts out.

Turning interactions into measurable outcomes — and proving what worked.

Convert is attribution, re-engagement, and the data that connects SMS campaigns to revenue — not just clicks or opens. Cost per contact. Source per campaign. Every interaction attributable, every contact reusable. This is how SMS connects directly to revenue.
