Understanding Your Engagement Metrics
Your Engagement dashboard displays key performance indicators that update based on your selected date range:
Engagement Rate
What it shows: The percentage of total website visitors who engaged in a chatbot conversation.
Why it matters: This metric reveals how effectively your AI attracts visitor attention and initiates meaningful interactions.
Example: 0.03% engagement rate means 3 out of every 10,000 website visitors had a conversation with your AI.
Conversations by Traffic Source
What it shows: A breakdown of AI conversations based on how visitors arrived at your site.
Why it matters: This helps you understand which traffic channels produce visitors most likely to engage with your AI.
Tracked sources include:
Direct (visitors who typed your URL or used a bookmark)
Referral (visitors from links on other websites)
Search (visitors from search engines)
Social (visitors from social media platforms)
Instagram DM (direct messages via Instagram)
Facebook DM (direct messages via Facebook)
Whatsapp DM (direct messages via Whatsapp)
Conversations by Customer Type
What it shows: Segmentation of AI chats by new versus returning customers.
Why it matters: This helps you understand how your AI performs with first-time visitors compared to repeat customers.
Example: 60% new customers, 40% returning customers.
Engagement Rate from Proactive Approach
What it shows: The percentage of previously disengaged visitors who had a conversation after the AI initiated contact.
Why it matters: This measures how effective your proactive outreach settings are at converting passive browsers into active conversations.
Example: 1.50% means that out of all visitors approached by the AI, 1.5% engaged in a conversation.
100% AI Conversations
What it shows: The number of complete conversations handled entirely by the AI without human agent involvement.
Why it matters: This indicates how effectively your AI can independently assist customers from start to finish.
Example: 50 conversations fully handled by AI.
Proactive AI vs. Shopper-Initiated Conversations
What it shows: A comparison of conversations started by your AI versus those initiated by shoppers.
Why it matters: This helps you understand the balance between proactive and reactive engagement strategies.
Example: 70.37% AI-initiated, 29.63% shopper-initiated.
Leads Collected
What it shows: The number of email addresses or phone numbers gathered by your AI during conversations.
Why it matters: This tracks how effectively your AI captures valuable contact information for future marketing or sales follow-up.
Example: 7 leads collected during the selected time period.

Tips for Maximizing Engagement Analytics
Regular Review: Check your Engagement Analytics weekly to track performance trends and identify opportunities for improvement.
Optimize Proactive Approach: If your proactive engagement rate is low, consider adjusting your AI's conversation starters or trigger conditions in the Sales Skills section.
Traffic Source Optimization: Focus your AI customization efforts on the traffic sources that show the highest engagement rates.
New vs. Returning Balance: If there's a significant difference in how new and returning customers engage with your AI, create targeted experiences for each group.
Test Different Triggers: Experiment with different proactive triggers (time on page, scroll depth, exit intent) to find what works best for your audience.
Lead Collection Strategy: Review conversations where leads were successfully collected to identify effective approaches that can be replicated.
Troubleshooting
Low Engagement Rate: Check that your AI widget is properly configured and visible on your site. Consider more engaging conversation starters or more prominent widget placement.
Incorrect Metric Display with Filters: If applying filters causes metrics to display inconsistent values (especially percentages that don't add up to 100%), try refreshing the page or temporarily disabling filters to view accurate data.
Missing Data: Ensure your tracking is properly implemented. If you've recently installed Rep AI, note that it may take some time to accumulate meaningful data.
Platform-Specific Issues: If you notice significantly different engagement rates across platforms, review your mobile optimization settings.
