Stay in context
The visitor can keep looking at the page while asking the question that is blocking the next step.
Live Chat Widget
Be there while the visitor's question is still active.
Add a direct conversation route to your website so visitors can ask practical questions without leaving the page or starting with a long form.
Do you cover my area?
Share your postcode and I’ll check the service-area information available for this business.
Sure — I can share it.
Why live chat helps
Reduce the distance between a website visit and a useful answer.
Live chat works best for the questions that are easier to resolve through a short conversation than through another page, form, or phone call.
Respond while intent is fresh
Handle practical enquiries before the visitor leaves the site and the question becomes a later follow-up.
Continue after the visit
When the conversation needs to continue, lead details can stay connected to what the visitor already asked.
A better handoff
Live chat does not have to end when the team steps away.
Pair the widget with AI takeover so the experience can continue when your workflow allows it, then hand the conversation back to a person when needed.
- Keep the original conversation visible
- Preserve visitor details for follow-up
- Keep ownership visible in the shared inbox
Visitor: Are you available today?
Team: Let me check that for you.
Conversation stays open for follow-up
