What is SMS analytics?

Last reviewed July 22, 20261 min readReviewed by BroadNet engineering

Quick answer

SMS analytics is the measurement of messaging performance — delivery rate, failure reasons by operator, click-through on links, inbound replies, opt-outs, and ultimately conversion and ROI. Because SMS has no native open rate, analytics is built from delivery receipts, tracked links, and downstream conversions. Good analytics turns sending into a feedback loop you can optimize.

The long answer

Everything worth knowing, nothing that isn't.

§01

What you measure

Delivery and failure rates by country and operator (from DLRs), click-through (from tracked short links), reply and opt-out rates, and conversion attributed to the campaign. See /answers/what-is-dlr and /answers/what-is-a-sms-short-link.

§02

Why DLRs are the foundation

With no open rate, operator-level delivery receipts are your ground truth for what arrived and why the rest failed — the basis for improving delivery and cost. See /answers/how-to-improve-sms-delivery-rates.

§03

From metrics to ROI

Combine delivery, click, and conversion data to compute real return, and feed it back into segmentation and timing. See /answers/sms-marketing-roi and /tools/true-cost-calculator.
