Turn website traffic into leads...
All types of customers
Our web chat clients include all types of businesses, from carpet cleaning companies, to legal firms and security specialists. In an age where customers expect instant answers, we ensure your visitors don’t go elsewhere if they get stuck.
'As if by magic'
Those of a certain age might remember a children’s programme in which the shopkeeper appears, just at the right moment to help the eponymous Mr Benn. Like the shopkeeper, our chat agents are there the instant your website visitors need help.
Proactive but unintrusive
We have found for most clients, a proactive but unintrusive chat approach works best. After a visitor has been on your website for a short amount of time, the chat window will open, which often prompts a conversation.
Recent success stories
Some of the results we’ve had over a one-month period include: 126 chats resulting in 52 leads for a Skylight fitting company, 38 enquiries from 70 chats for a firm of solicitors with two offices and 11 enquiries from 27 chats for a cleaning company.
Common Web Chat FAQs
Why should Verbatim answer my web chat?
With Verbatim, your chat will be well managed. Every one of our small team is fully trained, friendly and professional by nature and they’ll be well briefed about your company and client base before they handle your web chat to quickly answer any questions that your website visitors might have.
Because our chat agents can typically manage multiple chats, it’s also a very cost-effective way to deal with your customers. What’s not to like about that?
How does web chat work?
We work with you to get your chat box live on your site as quickly as possible and usually it’s a very simple process. We have taken clients through the process from designing a custom chat box and installing the code on their site within hours of registering.
Once installed, you can just leave us to manage any web chats that take place on your website.
Will using Verbatim confuse my clients?
Not at all. Our team is small enough (and we go to great measures) to ensure we know your business inside out before we get started. It means most of your website visitors won’t have so much as an inkling that anything’s changed, not least that you’ve outsourced your web chat.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes we do!
We offer a completely free 30 day trial (capped at 100 chats). This is important for you and us. Not every website has the visitor numbers to make chat service a viable. For some businesses (for example with high value products or services) one or two chats a week is enough, for others it might be many times that.
Our free trial allows you to test the water and see what works best for you, without cost or risk. For us, whether you decide it works for you or not, your experience will be a positive one you will be happy to recommend to others!
What are your operating hours?
Web chat is available:
9am-10pm Monday to Friday.
9am-7pm Saturday, Sunday & bank holidays.
How many chats/leads will I get?
There is no way we can tell until we start your trial. We do usually find that websites with more traffic get more chats and sites with more chats get more leads.
We have clients who typically only have 4 or 5 chats per month, but the 1 or 2 leads generated each month is more than enough for their specialised or high-priced products/services.
How will pricing be calculated?
Can I change the design of my chat box?
Yes! We can customise the design to suit your brand colours. You can add the custom box before, during or after your trial.
We're not very 'technical', is it easy to set up?
We work with you to get your chat box live on your site as quickly as possible and usually it’s a very simple process. We have taken clients through the process from designing a custom chat box and installing the code on their site within hours of registering.
What is classed as a 'chat'?
A ‘chat’ is a meaningful engagement, using the chat box that we install on your website. For example, we may have a chat with one of your website visitors about your business, services or the products you provide.
Will it work on my website?
Our chat works across any website, even Wix, as long as your website provider allows you to include JavaScript (if in doubt get in touch, we can help you figure this out).
Can I add telephone answering to my package as well as web chat?
Yes, that’s no problem at all!
Statistics show that on average, businesses miss 15% of their incoming calls. Of those callers, 80% won’t try again if they got the engaged tone and 70% won’t leave a voicemail.
With Verbatim managing both web chat and call answering, we will have you covered on all fronts.
As well as web chat, you can leave all your telephone calls to us, or only have us step in when you’re unavailable to take one yourself.
Once you tell us your requirements, we can get to work on creating a bespoke solution for you.
