Launching the AskNeo Certification

Too much spam. Too much noise. Too much BS.

That's why we decided to launch the AskNeo Certification: a list of 10 requirements that will guarantee the highest standards of customer engagement for both brands and consumers who want to text with each other.

Managed Service Providers (MSP) that use AskNeo on behalf of their clients and direct AskNeo customers can "both" obtain the certification. Once a company is certified, it can text customers with the following benefits:

• SMS Broadcast uncapped from 3,000 receivers per day to up to 100,000 receivers per day.
• Registration on the national phone carrier safe list, also called A2P 10DLC, to maximize deliverability up to 100%.
• Speed control, to dynamically regulate the distribution pace of a mass text according to each carrier requirement and avoid any message loss.
• Anti-spam filter, to avoid getting blacklisted by national or international phone carriers.
• Automated opt-in via the brand avatar or SMS chatbot, which saves the customers' name and phone number automatically.
• Automated opt-out, via the keywords "Stop", "Cancel" and "Unsubscribe".
• Real-time deliverability receipts each text with a check mark when delivered or a red exclamation point if not able to deliver.
• Report on deliverability after each mass text to know exactly what percentage of messages was properly delivered, sent to a landline, to an offline device, or an obsolete number.

The AskNeo Certification is the most advanced SMS certification on the market and is completely free of charge. Here are the ten commandments of AskNeo to follow in order to obtain and keep the certification:

1. Never spam
2. Make sure your audience opts in to receive your texts
3. Segment your audience with Tags to broadcast mass texts by Tag(s)
4. Answer in a reasonable amount of time, preferably within a few hours
5. Always have the customer's best interest
6. Be upfront about your pricing and fees
7. Never trick the customer into buying a product they don't really want
8. Be transparent about ingredients and/or components in use
9. Always be polite, even when someone is not
10. Go above and beyond to make each and every customer happy

The AskNeo Certification takes anywhere from 2 hours up to 7 days to be obtained. Here are the 5 steps to complete the process:
