A visitor spends a few minutes on your website trying to find out whether you work in their area. The answer is there, on a page they never open. Your team is busy with customers, nobody notices the visit, and they leave to contact a company whose site made it easier.
An AI website chatbot gives visitors a direct answer drawn from the content already on your site, collects their contact details and sends the lead to your team. For a small business, it turns the information you’ve already published into answers people can get just by asking, at any hour and even when your team is busy.
Why do website visitors leave without contacting you?
Often because getting an answer takes too long, whether they’re searching your pages or waiting on a form.
Nearly 60% of consumers expect a response within an hour of filling out a form on a website, but only 36% say brands meet that expectation, according to Invoca’s B2C Buyer Experience Report. The same research found that 79% of U.S. consumers would switch to a competitor that responds faster.¹
Many customers are also open to getting that answer from AI: in a Kantar survey for Meta across 22 markets, 67.7% of consumers agreed that getting a response from an AI chatbot is helpful.²
How does IPFone’s AI Website Chatbot work?
Setup takes three steps. You paste one short code snippet on your website, the chatbot learns your business from your site’s content, and it starts answering visitors and capturing leads. Once it’s live, it:
- Answers 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays
- Captures contact details and routes each request to your team by email or text
- Replies in your brand voice, based on your own content
- Gives every visitor an answer at once, whether ten people are on your site or a thousand
- Saves full transcripts and analytics in VisionAI, so you can keep improving how it answers
VisionAI is the platform where you manage the service. You can add information about your business there and review the conversations the chatbot has had with your visitors.
Can a website chatbot work with your phone system?
Yes. IPFone’s chatbot runs on the same platform as its AI voice agents, so callers and website visitors get the same answers. If you already use AI on your phone lines, the chatbot extends it to your website (here is how an AI voice agent differs from a traditional IVR). Behind it is a team with 30 years in the industry, on-site installation and training, and a 6-month customer satisfaction guarantee.
Your website already gets the questions. See how IPFone’s AI Website Chatbot answers your visitors, captures their details and sends each lead straight to your team.
