Built-in infrastructure
Click-to-Text Automations with Built-In 10DLC.

Staying ahead of the curve in marketing means adopting channels before clients ask for them. SMS is that channel right now — and TextingOnly gives agencies a complete infrastructure to deploy it across any client without piecing together tools or managing SMS compliance from scratch. Click-to-Text automations, ITR lead funnels, sub-account management, customer journey tracking, and UTM attribution — all in one platform, all manageable from a single agency dashboard.

TextingOnly eliminates the complexity of SMS integration for agencies. The platform provides fully functional Click-to-Text automations that connect seamlessly to SMS 10DLC compliance — so the agency doesn’t have to manage carrier registration, number provisioning, or opt-out handling separately. Everything that makes SMS work at a business level is built in. Agencies configure the client campaign; TextingOnly handles the infrastructure.

Automate SMS funnels
Automate SMS Interactions for Lead Generation.

TextingOnly’s OTTO and ITR menus let agencies create personalized, conversational SMS intake funnels for any client vertical — home services, legal, automotive, healthcare, real estate. The agency configures the funnel once; OTTO runs it 24/7 without account manager involvement. Data collectors capture client-specific qualification data. Every lead interaction is structured and delivered to the client’s team automatically.

The agency configures the funnel. OTTO runs it around the clock. The client receives structured leads. The agency bills a monthly SMS retainer. That’s the model.

Multi-client architecture
Sub-Accounts for Effective Multi-Client Management.

TextingOnly’s sub-account architecture (Agency Shield) gives agencies the flexibility to segment client usage, campaigns, and permissions. Each client gets their own dedicated phone number, contact lists, campaigns, and OTTO configurations. The agency manages everything from the master account — with full visibility into every client’s performance — while clients see only their own data.

🏢
Master Account Control

Agency-level visibility across all client sub-accounts. Configure compliance standards, approve campaign templates, manage billing, and monitor performance — all from a single login without switching between client accounts.

👤
Client Sub-Accounts

Each client gets a dedicated local area code number, isolated contact lists, and separate campaign reporting. Clients can be given limited dashboard access for their own reporting or kept behind the agency’s white-label reporting layer entirely.

Full journey tracking
Customer Journey Tracking Online & Offline.

TextingOnly provides comprehensive customer journey tracking — enabling agencies to demonstrate SMS campaign effectiveness with the same rigor as paid digital channels. Every touchpoint is captured and attributable.

UTM attribution
Connect SMS to Web Analytics via UTM.

TextingOnly builds UTM parameters directly into every SMS campaign link. Every click from an SMS campaign is tracked in the client’s Google Analytics or any analytics platform — enabling agencies to show clients the precise downstream impact of SMS campaigns on web traffic, app downloads, and conversions. Same attribution rigor as paid digital. A fraction of the cost.

Common questions
TextingOnly for Agencies — Frequently Asked.
Do we need to become SMS experts to offer TextingOnly to clients?
No. TextingOnly’s agency onboarding covers the platform, OTTO configuration, and reporting — and the no-code interface handles campaign setup, entry point generation, and ITR configuration without technical expertise. Most agencies are managing their first client live within 2–3 weeks of onboarding. TextingOnly’s agency support team is available for configuration questions as you scale to additional clients.
How does 10DLC registration work for agency clients?
TextingOnly handles 10DLC registration for all client numbers through the agency’s master account workflow. The agency provides the required business information for each client, and TextingOnly manages the registration process with the carriers. All client numbers are properly registered for business SMS use — protecting deliverability and ensuring TCPA compliance across the entire client portfolio.
How does agency pricing work?
TextingOnly’s agency pricing provides a cost structure that supports healthy resale margins. Contact TextingOnly’s agency team to discuss the current tier structure — pricing is based on sub-account count and message volume across the agency’s portfolio. Most agencies price SMS services to clients at a monthly retainer covering platform access, OTTO configuration, campaign management, and reporting — creating an MRR line that compounds as more clients are onboarded.
How does Agency Shield work for digital agencies?
Agency Shield is TextingOnly’s client isolation architecture for agencies managing multiple clients. Each client gets their own subgroup with isolated contact lists, phone numbers, compliance records, and reporting. Agencies see all clients from one dashboard while each client’s data is completely separated. Client-level white-labeling is available.
How can a digital agency resell TextingOnly SMS services?
TextingOnly’s Agency plans allow agencies to manage SMS for multiple clients under a single account with per-client billing, isolated data, and agency-level reporting. Agencies mark up TextingOnly services, bill clients independently, and retain the full margin. TextingOnly runs in the background — the agency owns the client relationship.
What is the TaaS (Texting as a Service) model for agencies?
TaaS is a fully managed SMS engagement model where TextingOnly’s team handles strategy, campaign setup, OTTO flow configuration, optimization, and reporting on behalf of the agency’s client. The agency delivers the outcome to their client without building internal SMS expertise. TextingOnly runs as a white-label back-end service.
