Increase your online conversions – Have you looked into ‘Live Chat’?

March 30, 2017

If you are in the business of selling / renting property then online is mostly going to be about driving traffic to your website and your listings on the likes of Rightmove and Zoopla – Am I right? The more traffic the better and how can you convert those who visit your website and tempt them in to contacting you / enquiring / subscribing and more.

Most businesses will invest a lot of time and money in to getting traffic to their website, be it via email marketing drives or via social media, handing out business cards or Adwords on Google, each visit to your website could have cost you in money from pennies to several pounds! So, if someone is visiting your website, are you making double sure that you grab their attention and engage with them?

This is where Live Chat for Estate Agency websites come in to play – A point of communication with that someone on your website who has taken the time to be interested in your business and browse what you are offering online – a pop up box which is easily minimised if not wanted, but straight in the face of the browser and there should they quickly wish to ask a question. It is true that many people visiting your website are doing so with the knowledge of what they are looking for, maybe they have hit a listing on your website and only want to see that one, but more importantly those who hit the home page may not yet be decisive on what they are looking for and indeed may not even realise the full depth of the service / products you offer.

I am looking for property in say in Bournemouth, I hit your website from an online search on Google and yours is one of the links I clicked. Now, I am looking for property for rent and within 3 seconds a welcome pop up live chat box appears and you say “Are you looking for a new home in Bournemouth? If so, I am pleased to help and we have just taken on two great new listings with sea views“… OK, precise in your welcome message, yet it will tempt me to say ‘hello‘ and from there you have what you wanted from that website visitor and that is an enquiry!

Yomdel are one of the UK’s leading Live Chat solutions within the property industry – speak with them today to find out how you can convert more visits to your website in to enquiries.
