You're spending 4–8 hours per client on A2P setup. We cut it to 30 minutes.
Every home service client you onboard needs A2P compliance. Building a compliant website, installing opt-in forms, and walking clients through registration is a full afternoon — per client. SMSReady handles the entire stack.
The hidden cost of A2P setup
Time you can't bill for
Building a compliant website for a client takes 3–4 hours minimum. Adding the opt-in form with the right disclosure language, privacy policy, and SMS terms — you're at 6+ hours before you've submitted anything.
You do it every time
There's no shortcut. Every new home service client needs a fresh compliant website and GHL opt-in form. Your team is solving the same problem from scratch for every onboarding.
Rejections eat more time
1 in 5 A2P applications fail on the first attempt. When a client's registration gets rejected, you're back to diagnosing what's wrong and fixing it — more unpaid hours on a client who's frustrated.
It's your most expensive task
If you're billing clients $2,000–$3,000/month and spending 8 hours on A2P setup, that's the equivalent of a full day's labor going to compliance infrastructure — before you've done any actual marketing work.
The math is straightforward. At $75/hour for your team's time, 6 hours of A2P setup costs you $450 in labor per client. SMSReady does the same work in 30 minutes for $197.
At 10 clients per month, you're saving 55+ hours and $2,530 in labor costs — every month.

Agency-specific questions
Does each client need their own SMSReady account?
Yes. Each client sub-account in GHL requires its own A2P registration and its own compliant website. SMSReady deploys per-client — one account, one website, one GHL setup. You purchase SMSReady for each client you want to set up.
Can we use SMSReady under our agency's brand?
Yes. The compliant websites we deploy are branded for your client's business, not SMSReady. There's nothing in the deliverables that references SMSReady — you can present the entire package as your agency's work.
Do we need agency-level access to our clients' GHL accounts?
You'll need to either use your agency-level access or have the client's GHL API key available. Either approach works. We walk through the connection process in the setup flow.
What if a client already has a website?
We review the existing website for compliance. If it meets the requirements, we can work with it. If it doesn't — which is common — we either add the missing elements or deploy a new compliant site alongside it. We'll identify the gaps and walk you through the options.
Is there volume pricing for agencies?
Contact us at [email protected] if you're planning to set up more than 10 clients per month. We can discuss pricing that reflects your volume.
