Add a Chatbot to your Wix Website in 6 Simple Steps

There's no arguing that immediate and personalized communication between your brand and customers is essential to an outstanding customer experience. One way in which this can be achieved is by adding a chatbot to your Wix site.

A chatbot is a software that simulates basic human conversation by means of text or voice. Chatbots can be used to deal with the simple parts of a conversation that don't require a person. By using a chatbot, you can reduce overhead costs, provide better customer service through immediate responses, and save time by understanding the core of your client's issue.

Luckily, a chatbot can be set up on your Wix website with a few simple steps.
