AI Chatbot for WooCommerce & Live Chat – onWebChat

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

42 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 35 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 51 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 700.

14 of the last 21 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   I have tried dozens of “similar” chat apps however they ALL left me needing more. OnWebChat exceeded my expectations. The main requirement that I had was that I run 5 businesses – all that need their own live chat experience. My problem was that all other chat apps would each be independent. Juggling 5 live chats, plus emails, plus texting, plus social is way too much. With OnWebChat I can reuse the same chat code which means that I now have one centralized screen where I can provide assisstance to all my live chats. It literally could not be any easier. Features such as having multiple users, online/offline times, AI integration, triggers etc. make it even more valuable of a tool. I also REALLY like their business model. The app is incredibly affordable considering the amount of value you are going to get out of it. I have made plenty of sales via the live chat on my sites and I always promote this app as being the number 1 go to plugin for live support/chats. The team does a fantastic job and are always rolling out updates. This plugin will solve the majority of your issues you have with current live chat plugins. Give it a test run for free and see what Im talking about – then buy it and support the devs. ~ Dave

   I have tried many plugins with ai chatbot. This one has something different. It has it all, it is very polite and accurate, woo integration not to metion so many other features such as tremendous backend, history, live follow of visitors behaviour, statistics and many others. Well done!

   I’ve tried many chat plugins most claim the plugin is free but this is usually not the case. Onwebchat is the exception here- they offer a free version with limits of 100 chats per month- totally fair in my opinion! There are some other extra features that require the pro subscription which is reasonably priced as well. The dashboard you log into on their website has a number of metrics you can track including what pages users are currently viewing, customized responses (pro feature) custom chat bubbles, and so much more. I’ve reached out to their support team on a number of occasions and they are quick to respond, helpful, and professional- keep in mind, I have not purchased a pro subscription yet and the service level is a breath of fresh air. Give it a shot I think you’ll agree! Shout out to the Onwebchat team for a great plugin that does exactly what is described, no bs! Oren This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by orenwp.
