How OTTO lands in the Bottom Bar
Four entry points. One destination.

Every TextingOnly campaign starts with an entry point — the moment a prospect scans, taps, clicks, or texts. The entry point is where identity is captured, attribution fires, and OTTO takes over. Four different paths. Every one lands in the same place: the native Messages app, next to family and close contacts, with no app download required.

Entry Point Four
☎️ Text to Call Handoff

OTTO delivers both an SMS opt-in and a tap-to-call link inside the same message. One thumb tap connects the contact to your business. TextingOnly tracks who tapped the tap-to-call link and who didn’t — non-callers automatically receive a follow-up sequence. No lead falls through.

Every campaign follows the same model
Land. Engage.Convert.

All four entry points feed the same framework. Every tool, every OTTO flow is designed to advance the contact from first contact to closed deal.

Land
First contact. Identity captured.

QR scan, SmartLink tap, or link click — mobile number captured at opt-in with TCPA consent. Source attributed and timestamp logged. One tap sends.

Engage
OTTO runs the conversation.

ITR menu, conversational data collector, or interstitial page. Every reply is a data capture event. Routed by intent. Qualified in real time. No rep required at first touch.

Convert
Warm lead. They’re expecting the call.

Prepare Caller alert fires to your rep with full context — name, service interest, transcript, source. Answer rates 50%+.

Why the Bottom Bar
Next to family and friends.No algorithm. No inbox. No app.

The native Messages app is the highest-trust communication channel on any phone. TextingOnly puts your business there through opt-in, not interruption.

98% open rate

SMS is opened at 98% vs. 20% for email and 2% for display ads. 90% of those opens happen within 3 seconds of delivery.

Zero app downloads

No installation. No account creation. No login. The customer is already in their Messages app — OTTO meets them there.

Every contact is opt-in

The contact initiates by sending the first message — TCPA-compliant express written consent. Mobile number captured at opt-in, timestamp, and entry point all logged automatically.

Attribution from day one

Every entry point is an attribution device. QR code, SmartLink, Google Business “Text” button — every scan source-tagged. Cost per conversation per placement. See attribution reporting.

No algorithm between you and the contact

Social reach is rented. Email is filtered. The Messages app has no algorithm. If the contact opted in, they get the message.

Prepare Caller — 50%+ answer rates

Your rep calls the contact who is expecting the call from a number they recognize. Answer rates run 50%+ vs. cold outbound.

Common questions
Questions aboutthe Bottom Bar.
The Bottom Bar refers to the native Messages app — the SMS app built into every iPhone and Android device. TextingOnly puts your business in that space through opt-in, not interruption.
No. The entire TextingOnly experience happens inside the native Messages app already on every phone. No download, no account, no login. The customer scans a QR code or taps a SmartLink, their Messages app opens with a pre-filled message, they tap Send, and OTTO responds in under 3 seconds.
Every entry point — QR code, SmartLink, website button, Google Business “Text” button — carries a unique source identifier. The moment a contact opts in, TextingOnly captures the entry point source, device type, and timestamp. One dashboard shows which placements produce the most contacts and best cost per qualified lead.
OTTO is TextingOnly’s SMS conversation engine — not a chatbot. OTTO runs structured ITR menus and conversational data collection sequences. When a contact opts in, OTTO responds in under 3 seconds. 71% completion rate vs. 19% for web forms.
Yes. Every TextingOnly contact is opt-in — the customer initiates by sending the first message, constituting TCPA-compliant express written consent. 10DLC brand and campaign registration are completed before any campaign runs. STOP responses trigger instant opt-out automatically.
