Creating Content for a User-Friendly Chatbot

When Customers Are Seeking Help, Stop Selling!

Chatbots are becoming more mainstream as more businesses embrace the technology as part of their online presence. To maintain your brand’s identity and to avoid pushing customers away, your business can’t afford to leave your chatbot content strategy to chance. Here are our best tips for creating a chatbot that eases up your time by delivering relevant information to your customers.

Have a Strategy for Using Chatbots

It’s surprising how many businesses start using technology without a plan for scalability and compatibility. While you’re creating your bot and its content, you’ll want to create a content plan for your bot.

  • Where does the bot fit into your customer’s journey?
  • How can you scale your efforts?
  • What questions can your bot handle and what questions might be too difficult?
  • How will you address an audience that is seeking answers without making a purchase?

Think about your content strategy and goals as you design your chatbot.

Don’t Try to Fool Your Audience

Don’t try to make your user think he or she is chatting with a real person. Keep the interaction as real as possible, but make sure your chatbot can give the right information quickly. Chatbots can increase engagement with your brand because they never sleep and can access relevant content for the customer. But don’t try to fool your customer into thinking the chatbot is anything more than artificial intelligence (AI) working for you.

Give Your Bot Personality

Although your chatbot might be technology driven, you can still impart some personality into your responses to make the interaction more memorable. Don’t get chatty, because you do want to respect the user’s time, but you can have a little bit of fun, provided it fits into your brand. Above all, be meaningful and true to your brand and your audience’s needs. If you’re helping people facing financial issues, your bot should be more productive than fun. On the other hand, if your chatbot is helping a customer trying to find a safe, durable pet bowl for their dog or cat, feel free to go ahead and have some fun. Your chatbot can love pets too!  

Update Your Chatbot

About every three to four months, you should update your bot to make sure it’s current and relevant. Think about your customer base and whether it’s changing. Add new products and content to your chatbot to keep customers engaged. Define new goals for your chatbot. Make sure that your bot is providing your readers with the information they want.

Use Your Analytics to Know What’s Working

Restaurants constantly manage their menus by knowing what is selling and what isn’t. In your content strategy, you must analyze what content is reaching your audience and what isn’t. You’ll get a lot of data from your chatbots. Look at what is succeeding and what is failing. This can help you design more effective content on your bot and across your other marketing platforms.

But Play by the Rules and with a Clear Conscience

My last blog post was the first time I ever wrote about a deeply personal experience. It certainly was heartwarming and overwhelming to receive so many kind and encouraging messages from family, friends, co-workers, clients, and even some past students and interns. Thank you! Some business associates and clients also responded with feedback on my comments about the “AI-generated content elephant in the room”. Healthy discussions ensued and I want to clarify that I am not against AI-generated content. If your small or medium-sized business has time and budgetary limitations, and you cannot hire a content agency, professional copywriters, and SEO content writers, then AI tools may be the way to go. I’ve summarized the key questions clients are asking about this.

Include Your POV to Encourage Conversion

Imagine how differently we'd see Star Wars if it was told through the eyes of a stormtrooper trying to get his next promotion or through Chewbacca's point of view. The reader of a story interprets the tale through the perspective of the narrator. Choosing an engaging and valuable point of view (POV) is essential to the narrative. You may not think of your content as a novel or a movie, but you're still telling a story through your blogs, email newsletters, videos, and other forms of digital content. Offering a unique POV with your online content can help make your brand stand out.
