The bots also provide timely sales and marketing support when potential customers have questions just before purchasing a product or service. As chat bots engage with visitors as soon as they come onto a website they ensure that people are never left hanging when they have questions, and ultimately prevent them from moving to competitor’s sites.

It also allows for search patterns to be analyzed and for social media platform data, to be used in understanding how people find products and services.
