Turn Website Visitors Into Paying Customers. Automatically.
Most visitors leave your website without making contact. AI Website Chat catches them before they go — engaging them in real conversation, capturing their details, and turning browsers into booked jobs.
Questions? Chat with me 👋
Tell me about your business and I'll show you how I handle your calls
It's 10:15pm on a Tuesday. A homeowner in Bristol has just noticed damp patches on her ceiling. She Googles 'roofer near me,' clicks through to your website, and starts reading your services page. She's interested but it's late — she's not going to call now. Without website chat, she bookmarks the page and forgets about it. Next morning she Googles again and calls the first roofer who answers. With Rapid Receptionist's AI chat, a widget pops up: 'Hi, I'm the AI assistant for Johnson Roofing. Can I help?' She types her question, the AI captures her details and the job description, and you wake up to a fully qualified lead — name, number, location, and a description of the damp problem.
Up and Running in 3 Simple Steps
We handle everything — you just keep working.
We Add the Widget to Your Website
We install a lightweight chat widget on your existing website — or on the one we build for you. It loads in under a second and sits in the corner of every page, ready for visitors to click.
Your AI Learns Your Business
The chat widget is powered by the same trade-trained AI as your phone answering. It knows your services, your area, and the right questions to ask. No generic chatbot responses — this is tailored to your trade.
Website Visitors Become Leads
When a visitor types a question, the AI engages in a real conversation. It captures their name, contact details, the work they need, and their urgency. You get the lead instantly, the visitor gets a professional response.
What This Channel Does for Your Business
Converts Browsers Into Leads
Most website visitors leave without making contact. A chat widget gives them a low-pressure way to ask a quick question — and your AI converts that question into a captured lead with full contact details.
Works When You Can't
A visitor lands on your site at 9pm on a Sunday. Without chat, they leave and Google another tradesman in the morning. With AI website chat, they get an instant response and you wake up to a qualified lead.
Unlimited Messages
There's no cap on chat messages. Whether you get five chats a month or fifty, the price stays the same. Every single website visitor gets a personal, trade-aware response — no matter how busy things get.
Full Conversation, Not Canned Replies
This isn't a chatbot that says 'Thanks for your message, we'll get back to you.' The AI asks intelligent follow-up questions based on what the visitor types. It understands context, adapts to the conversation, and captures detailed lead information.
Branded to Your Business
The chat widget matches your website's look and feel. Your business name, your greeting, your style. Visitors feel like they're chatting with your business, not a third-party service.
Works on Mobile
Over 70% of trade website visits come from mobile. The chat widget is fully responsive — it works perfectly on phones and tablets, with a clean mobile-first design that doesn't get in the way of your content.
AI Website Chat is included in the Core plan at £99/month alongside AI phone answering with 300 minutes. Unlimited chat messages, no per-conversation charges. No contracts, cancel anytime, 30-day money-back guarantee. See full pricing →
Find AI Website Chat for Your Trade
Every trade gets a bespoke configuration — built with your terminology, your emergencies, and the way your customers talk.
Built by Tradesmen, for Tradesmen
We didn't build Rapid Receptionist from a boardroom. We built it because we've seen firsthand what happens when tradesmen miss calls — they lose work they should've won. We understand the trades because we've lived them. We know you can't answer the phone when you're on a job. That's exactly why this service exists.
Every feature, every channel, every response has been designed by people who understand what it's like to be up a ladder when the phone rings. This isn't some generic tech product — it's a tool built specifically for your world.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does website chat actually capture leads?
When a visitor starts a chat, the AI engages them in conversation. It asks what work they need, where they're based, and whether it's urgent. During the conversation, it naturally captures their name, phone number, and email — not by forcing them to fill out a form, but through the flow of the chat itself. The full conversation and contact details are sent to you instantly.
Is this better than a contact form?
Significantly. Contact forms have a typical conversion rate of 2-3%. Most visitors don't bother filling them out — they're too slow, too formal, and feel like shouting into a void. Chat widgets convert at 5-15% because they offer instant interaction. The visitor gets an immediate response, which builds confidence that you're a responsive, professional outfit.
Will the chat widget slow down my website?
No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content, so it doesn't affect your page speed score or load time. It's a lightweight script that adds under 50KB to your site. Your SEO rankings and user experience won't be impacted.
Can the AI answer trade-specific questions?
It's trained to handle the kinds of questions your customers actually ask. If someone asks 'Do you fit combi boilers?' the AI can confirm that's one of your services and capture the lead. It won't provide technical advice, diagnose faults, or give quotes — those conversations are for you. But it handles initial enquiries with genuine trade awareness.
What if someone asks something the AI can't handle?
The AI handles it gracefully. If a visitor asks something outside its scope — a complaint, a technical question, a quote request — it lets them know you'll follow up personally and captures their details. It never makes up answers or promises things on your behalf. Better to capture the lead cleanly than bluff and lose their trust.
Do I need to monitor the chat myself?
Not at all. That's the entire point. The AI handles every conversation autonomously. You don't need to sit at a computer watching for messages. When the chat captures a lead, you receive a notification. You action it when you're free — the visitor has already received a professional response and knows you'll be in touch.
Can I see the full chat conversation?
Yes. Every chat conversation is logged in your Rapid Receptionist dashboard and included in the lead notification you receive. You can see exactly what the visitor asked, what the AI said, and all the details captured. This gives you full context before you call the customer back.
How much does website chat cost?
AI Website Chat is included in the Core plan at £99/month alongside AI phone answering. There's no per-message charge and no cap on conversations. You get unlimited chat messages as part of your plan. No contracts, cancel anytime, and the whole thing is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
