First Impressions Count in Automation

Your chatbot's welcome message is the first thing visitors see when they click the chat icon. A generic 'Hello, how can I help you?' is a missed opportunity. Here is how to write a welcome message that drives conversions.

1. Set Clear Expectations

Let visitors know they are chatting with an AI assistant, and clarify what topics it can help with.

  • Example: 'Hi! I am Ewbly's AI assistant. I can help you with pricing, refund policies, and WooCommerce integrations.'

2. Suggest Quick-Start Questions

Many visitors aren't sure what to type. By adding 2 or 3 quick-start question buttons, you make it easy for them to begin the conversation.

  • Suggest buttons like:

* 'Show pricing plans'

* 'How do I embed the script?'

* 'Do you support UPI?'

3. Match Your Brand Voice

Ensure the bot's tone aligns with your brand. If you are a B2B consulting firm, keep it professional. If you run a creative design agency, a friendly, upbeat tone works best.

Composing a helpful welcome message makes it easy for visitors to engage, improving their overall experience on your site.
