Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers to real questions from small business owners like you

How is this different from texting from my personal phone?

TextBolt gives you a professional business number that’s separate from your personal phone. Your customers see a dedicated business line, you can send texts from your computer using Gmail, and multiple team members can use the same number. Plus, you get delivery tracking and templates – things you can’t do with personal texting.

I’m not tech-savvy. Is this really easy to set up?

Yes! If you can send an email, you can use TextBolt. Setup takes about 15 minutes – just install from Google Workspace Marketplace, verify your business (we help with this), and you’re ready. No coding, no complicated software to learn. Most small business owners are sending their first text within an hour.

What if I don’t have many customers yet?

That’s actually the perfect time to start! Our Small Business plan at $29/month includes 500 messages – plenty for a growing business. As you grow, your plan grows with you. Starting early means you build the habit of professional customer communication from day one.

Can my employees use it too?

Yes! Multiple team members can send texts from the same business number. Everyone sends from your Gmail, and all messages appear to come from your professional business number. Perfect for when you have staff handling appointments or customer inquiries.

What about compliance and spam laws?

TextBolt handles all 10DLC compliance requirements for you – it’s built into the service. This means your messages actually get delivered instead of being blocked as spam. We also make it easy for customers to opt-out, keeping you compliant with TCPA regulations automatically.

How quickly will I see results?

Most small business owners see results immediately. Send an appointment reminder today, and you’ll likely prevent a no-show tomorrow. Our customers typically report 60-80% reduction in no-shows within the first week. The ROI from just one prevented missed appointment often covers months of the service.

What if my customers don’t want texts?

Customers can easily opt-out by replying STOP to any message. In practice, most customers love getting text reminders – it’s how they prefer to communicate. You’re not spamming; you’re providing helpful service reminders that they appreciate.

Can I send marketing messages too?

Yes, but with proper consent. TextBolt supports promotional messages like special offers, appointment openings, and seasonal promotions. Just make sure customers have opted in to receive marketing texts (appointment reminders are different from marketing). We provide guidance on staying compliant.

What makes TextBolt different from other services?

TextBolt is designed specifically for businesses already using Gmail. No new apps to learn, no complicated dashboards – just send an email and it becomes a text. Plus, we’re built for small businesses with pricing that makes sense ($29/month vs. enterprise pricing at other services) and human support that actually helps.

What are your delivery rates?

TextBolt achieves 97%+ delivery rates because we’re fully 10DLC compliant. Unlike free gateway services that get blocked as spam, our messages are verified and trusted by carriers. You can track delivery status for every message sent.

Our support team specializes in helping small businesses get set up quickly and successfully.
