The whole conversation stays together

The chat and its next step land in the same inbox your team already checks.

Your hours, prices, service area, and policies come from the knowledge base you approve. Update an answer once and website visitors get the same information as phone callers.

Questions, answered.

How does RankLadder website chat work?+

Add the RankLadder chat widget to your website. Visitors can ask questions at any hour, and the AI answers from the business information you approved. When a conversation needs a person, you can continue it from the RankLadder app.

Does website chat use the same answers as the phone AI?+

Yes. Phone calls and website chat use the same owner-approved knowledge base. Update an answer once and both channels use the new information.

Can I take over a website conversation?+

Yes. The conversation appears in your unified inbox, and you can reply from your phone with the full thread in front of you. The visitor does not have to repeat what they already asked.

Which plans include website chat?+

Website chat is included on every paid plan. Starter includes 100 AI replies each month, Pro includes 250, and Scale includes 800. Replies written by you or your team are always free and unlimited.

Will it slow down my website?+

The lightweight widget loads outside the critical path of the page, and the chat connection opens only when a visitor uses it.

Which languages does website chat support?+

Website chat currently supports English and Spanish. The separate 18-language capability applies to phone calls.

What happens when the monthly AI reply allowance is used?+

Your plan allowance is used first. After that, AI replies use credits from the non-expiring wallet you funded deliberately. If the balance reaches zero, AI activity pauses instead of creating an automatic overage charge. Human replies remain free.
