Introduction and Overview
Hey, guys! What’s up?
It’s Christine Seale, the High Level Queen, here to help you master A2P registration so you can start sending text messages right away. In this post, I’ll show you how to get approved for A2P registration the first time in just three easy steps. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Gathering LLC Information
The first thing you need to do is gather all the necessary information about your LLC. Head over to your state’s LLC lookup and get all the details about your company. Make sure everything matches word-for-word from your LLC listing. Here’s what you need:
- Your LLC name
- The registered address
- Your EIN number
It’s crucial that this information matches exactly when you apply for A2P registration. Any discrepancies can delay your approval. Once you have this information, you’re ready for step two.
Step 2: Setting Up High Level for A2P Registration
High Level makes A2P registration quick and easy. Although you can do this through Twilio, High Level simplifies the process. Here’s how you do it:
- Sign Up for High Level: If you haven’t already, sign up for a free trial using the link below.
- Create Your First Sub Account: Go to settings and then phone numbers.
- Configure Your Phone System: Ensure your phone system is set up. If you’re not using Lead Connect, it’s cheaper than Twilio and integrates directly into High Level.
After setting up your phone system, add a phone number, choose your area code, and country, and purchase it. Now, you’re ready to move to the Trust Center for A2P registration.
Step 3: Filling Out A2P Registration Form
This is the critical step where attention to detail is key:
- Go to the Trust Center: Click on “Start Registering Now” and begin filling out the form.
- Enter Your Official LLC Information: Ensure all details match your LLC exactly. Copy and paste to avoid errors.
- Email Requirements: Use a public domain email like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo. Avoid private email domains.
- Add Business Information: Ensure your business name, phone number, and other details are consistent and match your official records.
Final Tips for A2P Registration Approval
To ensure a smooth approval process, follow these additional tips:
- Website Consistency: Make sure your LLC name, address, and EIN are displayed on your website. This consistency is vital for approval.
- Consent Checkbox: Include a consent checkbox on your website forms for users to agree to receive marketing messages. This is crucial for compliance.
- Sample Messages: Prepare your sample messages carefully. Avoid mentioning “leads” or “lead generation” as this can lead to immediate rejection.
Conclusion
And that’s it! By following these three easy steps, you’ll be well on your way to getting approved for A2P registration and starting your SMS campaigns. Remember, attention to detail is key to avoid any delays or rejections.
