The bottom line: SMS is expensive per message, but it's worth every penny when you consider the conversion rates. Email might be cheaper, but it doesn't get read or responded to.

How the Website Texting Widget Works

1

Visitor Sees Your Widget

A simple, non-intrusive widget appears on your site. Unlike traditional chat widgets, we focus on capturing just name and phone number - the essentials for starting a text conversation.

2

Lead Submits Contact Info

Visitor enters their name and phone number. We automatically capture their source (Google Ads, Facebook, etc.) using UTM parameters and click IDs for full attribution tracking.

3

AI Starts Texting Immediately

Within seconds, our GPT-4.1 powered AI sends the first text message. The AI is trained specifically for your business using your website content, services, and pricing information.

4

Lead Gets Qualified Over SMS

AI asks qualifying questions, gets project details, and can even request photos. You get fully qualified leads with complete conversation history and source attribution.
