iMessage for Local Lead Gen Agencies
The short answer
Agencies get paid for one number: client results. Leads answered. Appointments kept. Jobs booked. Blue Reacher plugs iMessage lines into client CRMs: same offers, same ads, same pages, but 98% open rates instead of email spam folders and 2-3x reply rates. No A2P registration. The numbers clients pay for move.

The client-results math

Those are our assumptions. The Blue Funnel Map runs the same arithmetic on the funnel you actually have, and you keep the map either way.

Frequently asked questions
How does this improve the numbers I report?
By moving contact rate, booking rate, show rate, and recovered appointments. All downstream of read rate. 98% open, 2-3x email reply. Ads and pages stay as built; channel stops leaking.
Do I need A2P registration per client?
No. No registration, no vetting queue, no niche rejections. Client signed this week gets a live line the same week. Consent rules apply; STOP is auto-enforced account-wide.
Does each client get their own number?
Yes, with local area code matching their market. Messages come from a number that looks like the business. Conversations live in one thread. Lines cost $249 monthly or $199 at 4+.
What happens with Android contacts?
Android contacts still get every message, via RCS then SMS. iMessage contacts get blue bubbles with read receipts. One workflow, sharper reporting.
