What a good welcome message does

Visitors decide in a second whether to type. A good first message:

  • Says who's talking (the bot's name, and that it's an assistant).
  • Says what it can help with, in the visitor's words.
  • Asks one easy question, or offers buttons so they don't have to type.
  • Stays short: one or two sentences.

Quick replies do the heavy lifting

Most visitors would rather tap than type. Three or four buttons with your most common questions (“Opening hours”, “Prices”, “Book a table”) get more conversations started than any greeting. Use the buttons the generator suggests as a starting point, then swap in your real top questions.

Match the tone to the moment

Playful works for stores and restaurants. Professional fits clinics, law firms and finance, where visitors may be worried. If you're unsure, friendly and plain is the safe middle.

Questions

How long should a chatbot greeting be?

One or two short sentences. Long greetings get skipped, especially on phones.

Should the welcome message pop up on its own?

A small greeting bubble next to the chat button works well. Avoid opening the full chat window automatically: many visitors find it intrusive.

Can I use emoji in a chatbot greeting?

One is fine for a casual brand. Skip them for professional services, and never use them in place of words.
