When we started automating text messages, our sales team no longer had to manually reach out to our leads five or six times. Now all of the texts run on autopilot, and our conversion rates have increased from 40% up to nearly 87%.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is text marketing free with the Keap software?

Each Keap plan includes monthly text marketing credits. After your monthly credits are used, additional marketing texts will be billed at a rate of $0.015 per text message. You are only charged for content messages, not opt-in messages. Read more about each Keap edition’s included text message credits here.

How does text marketing integrate with other features like email, CRM and automation?

When you combine text marketing with a CRM like Keap, you can leverage more features than standalone text marketing softwares.

Keap lets you track engagement and follow up automatically with a well timed text when certain actions are taken like email clicks, page visits, or shopping cart abandonment. You can also send reminders for appointments, webinars, or limited-time offers. Using text alongside email, CRM, and automation tools is a powerful way to drive action fast.

Does the Keap CRM with text messaging allow for mass texts to my customers?

Full text broadcast (mass texting), 1:1 text messaging, and automation functionalities are available in all editions of Keap. Please note, Keap Pro comes with a 3-month trial of text marketing, after which you’ll need to either add on a text marketing package or upgrade to Keap Max.

Can people reply to my automated text messages? 

Yes! In Keap Pro, Keap Max, and Keap Ultimate, contacts can reply to your automated text messages or text message broadcasts. You can manage replies and communicate back and forth in your Keap Marketing Number inbox. You can also mark messages as “unread”, identify when a contact opts in or out, and view which automation or broadcast your initial message originated from.

Is text marketing available internationally? 

Automated text messages and text message broadcasts using the Keap Marketing Number are currently only available in the U.S. One-to-one text messages using the Keap Business Line are only available in the U.S. and Canada.
