Built for local business
Everything included.
No coding. No tech team. Just a chatbot that works for your business from day one.
Always accurate, always in sync
Answers come from your own website: services, prices, hours, service area. It re-reads your site when something on your key pages changes, at no extra cost. Changed a price on an inner page? Press Check my site now or Scan my site in your dashboard and the bot knows.
Takes messages for a callback
When someone wants a quote or a call, it asks for their name, number and what they need, then emails it to you and saves it in your dashboard.
Speaks your customers' language
Someone who writes in Spanish, Vietnamese or Chinese gets an answer in that language. On Growth and up, you read each chat with a translation under every message. How languages work
Always on, never misses
Your chatbot answers customers 24/7, even at 2am on a Sunday. Add holidays, vacations and closed days, and set your time zone, so it can tell someone you're closed today and when you open again.
Price estimates and bookings
Growth gives price estimates from your own price list and books real appointment times in the chat. Every paid plan takes booking requests for you to confirm or sends people straight to your Calendly, Acuity or Square booking page, and Pro can also book into Cal.com or Calendly.
Works with your team and tools
Jump into a chat live from your phone and add your team. Send every new lead to Zapier, Make, Slack or Discord with a webhook, or use the REST API.
Set up in minutes
Enter your website, check the demo, customize your bot, and paste one line of code. Your chatbot is live as soon as the code is on your site.
Matches your brand
Custom colors, name and logo, plus text size: five sizes, and a separate size for phones if you want one. Your chatbot looks like your business, not a generic bot. On Growth and up the Powered by BotDesk badge goes away too.
Works on any website
Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy or a custom site. Paste one snippet and it's live. WordPress has a plugin and Shopify has an app.

Why Businesses Choose BotDesk
Every feature exists for one reason: to turn more visitors into paying customers.
Always on, and always accurate
Trained on your own website in minutes (services, hours, prices, FAQs). Auto-Sync re-reads your site when something on your key pages changes, and one click on Check my site now picks up edits anywhere else, so answers stay current day or night.
Captures every lead, with context
Takes each visitor's name, phone, email and request, plus their city, device, and whether they're a returning visitor, emailed to you and searchable in your dashboard. Lead capture comes with Starter and up.
Books jobs, or hands you the hot ones live
Every paid plan takes booking requests for you to confirm. On Growth it books real times from your own calendar hours, and you can jump into any chat from your phone and see what the visitor is typing before they hit send.
