This update builds on traditional keyword functionality by allowing businesses to create multi-step keyword flows with subkeywords, helping guide customers through more relevant conversations.

By enabling clearer, more structured interactions, this feature helps businesses engage contacts more meaningfully and drive better outcomes from SMS Keyword campaigns.
How TextUs Keywords Helps Marketers
Standard SMS keywords are great for starting conversations, but they often lack the flexibility needed to guide customers through next steps or capture specific interests. TextUs Keywords helps bridge this gap by letting you:
Grow Your Contact List with High-Intent Leads – Make it easy for prospects to opt in and engage with your SMS marketing through relevant keyword triggers. By reducing friction in the sign-up process, businesses can capture more inbound leads who are already interested in their product or service.
Effortlessly Scale Engagement – Use additional keyword triggers to ensure contacts receive relevant responses based on their specific interests. By guiding prospects through structured keyword interactions, businesses can keep conversations relevant and increase the likelihood of conversion.
Capture Interest for Smarter Retargeting – Gain deeper insights into lead preferences by capturing keyword responses that indicate specific interests. These insights help businesses personalize follow-ups and launch more targeted campaigns, ensuring outreach remains timely and relevant.
“With advanced keywords, we’re giving businesses a better way to deepen their SMS keyword journeys and automate SMS experiences,” said Rachel Fernandes, Senior Vice President of Product at TextUs. “This makes it easier to capture customer intent, respond in a more relevant way, and keep conversations moving forward.”
