⚡ In short

  • Conversion rate is the share of visitors who do what you want: buy, book, call or sign up.
  • Most gains come from clarity, speed, trust and answering questions.
  • Change one thing at a time and measure it.

What is a conversion?

Any action that matters to your business: an order, a booking, a phone call, a form, a chat that becomes a lead. Conversion rate = conversions ÷ visitors.

Clarity

  1. Say what you do in the first line. Visitors decide in seconds.
  2. One main button per page. “Buy now”, “Book a visit”, “Get a quote”.
  3. Show prices or a starting price. Hidden prices push people to competitors.
  4. Use real photos of your product, team or premises.

Speed

  1. Make pages load fast, especially on mobile data.
  2. Shorten forms. Ask for one or two fields, not ten.
  3. Answer questions instantly with live chat and an AI Agent.

Trust

  1. Show contact details: phone, address, email. See what makes a website trustworthy.
  2. Add reviews with names and photos where customers agree.
  3. Explain refunds and returns in one line near the button.

Help at the right moment

  1. Greet visitors on key pages with a relevant message. Proactive live chat.
  2. Catch exits with an exit-intent question. Flows.
  3. Spot hot visitors with a lead score and say hello. Visitor tracking.

Follow up

  1. Collect emails from visitors who aren’t ready. Lead generation.
  2. Reply the same day. A fast follow-up converts far better than a slow one.

How to measure

Use your analytics to track each goal. LiveChatBot can send chat events (chat opened, message sent, lead captured) to Google Analytics. Integrations.
