Tip of the Week #68- How to Add and Customize a Chat Widget on Your Website
In this week’s Tip of the Week, we’re diving into chat widgets—what they are, how to use them, and how to get one set up on your Gym Lead Machine website.
Why Use a Chat Widget?
If you don’t already have a chat widget on your website, you’re missing out on a great opportunity to connect with potential leads. A chat widget lets visitors:
- Ask questions instantly 💬
- Share their info to become a lead 📩
- Get fast, friendly responses from you or your team 🚀
It’s a simple tool that starts the conversation and helps you nurture leads right away.
