Comparison chat

Connect visitors to vendors with custom-built live chat software

Live chat is only just breaking into the comparison website space. With a custom chat solution designed for comparison site results pages, we can help you stay ahead of the curve.

Comparison chat in action

An industry-unique approach

Implementing chat into a comparison website requires a unique approach. It deviates from a standard live chat deployment in three key ways:

The chat option isn’t for your brand

It’s a connector between visitors and the vendors pulled in your search results

You aren’t the end user of the chat channel

The work of responding to chat queries lies with your customers

You own the chat onboarding process

The customer signs up to chat through your site, based on your offering

FAQ

How do we charge you? How do you charge your customers?
We charge based on how many of your customers connect to the chat service. So, one connector would be one live chat seat. It’s your site, your model, your choice. We simply power the chat functionality. After that, customer fees are entirely up to you.
What features are included? Who hosts the chat?
Just the core functionality needed to chat. The bells and whistles of our contact centre suite are unnecessary here. We provide a lightweight live chat app acting as a quick bridge. We do. Though customer chat sign-ups are your remit, we still shoulder the hosting and maintenance of your solution.
What happens when a vendor isn’t logged in? Where does the chat sit for the vendor?
If a company isn’t logged in to their chat account, the chat button doesn’t appear against their listing. So, no false expectations for the visitor. Chat requests come through directly to the vendor’s chat client. So, your customer doesn’t have to have their listing with you open all the time in order to take chats.
