A2P 10DLC registrations are not at all simple and fast, in my experience. We do them for our clients via GHL (HighLevel) and almost every time it's a dumpster fire getting them to be approved. I wonder what would be different about going through Twilio, because Twilio is the carrier that GHL...

With HighLevel you can have as many locations as you wish with either the $297/mo or the $497/mo plan. HighLevel is SO much more than just a GBP tool, though. It is the foundation for most of our business now. LocalViking is sort of pay by location in the sense but I don't know what the pricing...

Yes, it is a bit pricy. I have the good fortune to have gotten in at a lower price point which the publisher has continued to honor for four years. That helps. Still, it's worth it for me at least.

I use the GMB Everywhere chrome extension and it does this quite well (and lots more too).

We use HighLevel for almost all of our work now, and it has an excellent "social poster" feature that does this quite well.

It is fair to be sympathetic with the workload that the individual Google employees are experiencing while at the same time being utterly dissatisfied (and disgusted) at Google as an entity for creating this situation... especially when the result may be more companies giving up on SEO and...
