Why chatbots are lead gen powerhouses
Traditional lead forms convert at 2–5%. Chatbot-based lead capture converts at 12–18%: 3–5× better than static forms.
The psychology of conversational lead capture
The reason chatbots work better for lead capture is reciprocity. When your AI answers a visitor's question accurately, they feel a natural pull to share their email as a fair exchange.
