Best Textedly Alternatives
for Home Service Contractors
Textedly is a solid mass texting platform but it's built for broadcast SMS — not for automatically following up with individual leads from your website contact form. Contractors who try to hack a mass texting tool for lead follow-up end up doing manual work that defeats the purpose.
