Acobot: Free Live Chat Support Software

I came across this really cool wordpress plugin that allows you to add free live chat support software to your site/blog, allowing you to interact with your visitors.

This is a great way to engage with your visitors, and get valuable feedback from them at the same time!

It’s free to use, and easy to install & set up. They do have upgrade options with more features, and those accounts are free to try. If you’ve ever wondered what your visitors are thinking while on your site, this is your chance to find out! ;-)

You have two options: You can visit the website, or you can find the plugin on the WordPress.org site at Acobot WordPress Plugin.

You can present any question you like on the Acobot popup, and then you can train it to respond for you when visitors type something into the box…

You might use it to ask your visitors questions like:

  • Did you find what you were looking for?
  • Have Questions? Submit Them Here:
  • Have Suggestions? We’re All Ears!
  • What Can I Help You With?
  • What is Your Biggest Question About XYZ?

Obviously you would tailor the question it asks to your website or blog, and specifically to your target market. The coolest part is, you get to review this chat log and get an idea what your visitors are thinking or what they most want.

This gives you the opportunity to constantly improve your site or content based on personal feedback from your target market!

“Review the chat log to know what people are thinking when they browse your website. Know what they really need, why they buy, or more important why they don’t buy. You can then improve your robot, website, and business to win even more customers!”

The Acobot will respond to your visitors, giving them answers you’ve trained it to respond with. And it’s very easy to train, as you can see in the image above!

This increases visitor engagement as I mentioned earlier, impresses your visitors, and also keeps them on your page longer (which we all know improves the quality score of your site with search engines).

Options, Features & Pricing

As I mentioned, they have a free option which offers unlimited chat for non- business sites and blogs. And you can try any of their business plans free too.

The Pro Plans also remove the Acobot branding from your “widget”. For only $29/mo for example, you can have up to 200 chats per month on your business blog or ecommerce site.

See: Acobot Pricing for the complete breakdown and all of the options – and of course test it out for free and see what you think!

Even if you only test it out for free, imagine the valuable feedback you could get from your visitors – and how you could improve your website or content based on that feedback. Of course, you may just get hooked… ;-)

Best,
