Do You Use Live Chat? Wondering If This Will Increase Your Website Leads?
In this Live Chat case study, you’ll learn how impactful a fully-staffed live chat service can increase your leads by as much as 45%.
Summary:
When our HVAC client first came on board, they were just coming off a bad experience with another digital marketing agency where they got less than stellar results. This agency had over-promised and under-delivered to the point where the relationship had soured. So we had our work cut out for us and we were up to the challenge. Because of these negative experiences, here at Triple Your Clicks, we were focused on implementing strategies that would allow for a small investment, prove our results and build trust. Slow and steady wins the race frame of mind. So we started with a reasonable monthly Google Ads budget and with our guidance, we helped them reach their goal of increasing the number of new HVAC system sales.
This HVAC contractor opted not to purchase our Live Chat Service when they first became a client. We always present Live Chat as an option. However, they were only interested in our Google Ads management with high converting HVAC landing pages. After nine months of working together, I approached the decision maker again about considering live chat as a recommendation to generate additional leads. I offered a 30-day money back guarantee, knowing the following statistics:
- 63% of consumers said they were more likely to return to a website that offers live chat as opposed to one that doesn’t.
- Live chat leads to a 48% increase in revenue per chat hour and a 40% increase in conversion rate.
- 53% of customers would prefer to use online chat before calling a company (Source: Harris Research)
In addition, our other clients were experiencing a 45% increase in leads from using our live chat so I was confident this client would too.
Resolution:
We implemented our live chat service which is a 100% “done for you” service. Lead information is captured in real-time and delivered via email. Not only do you receive contact information (Name, Email, Phone number) but you also receive the full transcript of the conversation between both the online representative and the chatter. This way you know up front what problem they’re having and why they contacted your company for service. It’s a proven and easy transaction to capture lead information.
Results
Here are the Live Chat case study results we were able to achieve for our client:
- Conversion rate improved a remarkable 45%
- Cost-per-lead was reduced by 32%.
- Monthly budget never exceeded their desired level
- After 3 months of live chat, I received a call from my client asking how we could get more live chat leads. He said the leads were of higher quality compared to a phone call and cost 32% less.
