Web chat dies when the tab closes. A text doesn't.

Chat is the widget on your website, except it answers by text. Visitors leave a name and number, the reply lands on their phone, and the conversation carries on after they've closed the tab.

What happens when a visitor asks.

  1. A visitor asks a question

    On any page of your site, any hour of the day.

  2. It asks for their number

    A name and a cell number, so the answer can come by text.

  3. The reply lands by text

    Inside ninety seconds, about the page they were on.

  4. Booked, and in your CRM

    Number, transcript and booking on the record.

Last night

Every chat widget keeps a graveyard.

Visitors ask a question, get a reply they never see, and leave. No name, no number, nothing for your team to follow up. Chat asks for the number first, so the one who left a number is the one you can call.

Tab closed

Same question. Then the tab closes.

A web chat can't reach anyone once the tab is gone. A text is still on their phone in the morning, and 98% of texts get opened.

  • One dealer group got 40% more leads after swapping out its managed chat
  • One store picked up 340 leads in its first month

Your CRM

Every chat lands in your CRM.

A regular widget leaves you a transcript from Guest123. Chat leaves a lead your team can call, with everything they need before they dial.

  • A cell number the visitor typed in themselves
  • The page they were on and what they asked
  • The booking and the whole thread

  3. 3

    Connect your CRM

    Numbers, transcripts and bookings land on the record.

Works on the site you have

Dealer.com, DealerOn, WordPress, or a site someone built by hand. If it lets you add a script, it takes Chat. Setup takes about five minutes.

Questions before you swap the widget.

If yours isn't here, book a call and ask it.

It is a chat widget for your website that moves every conversation to text. A visitor asks a question, the widget asks for their name and cell number, and the reply lands on their phone inside ninety seconds. The agent answers about the page they were on, asks the qualifying questions and books the appointment. Number, transcript and page go on the CRM record.
