Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI lead capture?

AI lead capture uses intelligent conversational agents on your website to engage visitors, answer their questions in real-time, qualify them based on your criteria, and collect their information, all without requiring forms. It's like having your best sales person available 24/7 on every page of your website.

How much better is AI lead capture than contact forms?

Businesses using AI lead capture typically see 3-5x more conversions than traditional contact forms. Forms have high abandonment rates (70-80%), while AI conversations feel natural and engaging. Visitors who chat are also higher quality leads because the AI has already qualified them.

How does AI qualify leads automatically?

AI lead qualification works by asking natural follow-up questions during conversation: What's your firm size? What challenges are you facing? What's your timeline? What's your budget range? The AI scores leads based on your criteria and routes hot leads to your team immediately.
