Bounce Rate
Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who leave a website or page without taking any action, such as clicking a link, filling a form, or starting a conversation.
In Depth
High bounce rates on help center and support pages indicate that visitors aren't finding what they need. Common causes include poor search functionality, confusing navigation, outdated or irrelevant content, and lack of interactive help options. AI agents reduce bounce rates on support pages by providing proactive assistance — a chat widget can detect when a visitor has been on a page for a while without finding answers and offer to help.
On FAQ and knowledge base pages, AI-powered search understands natural language queries and returns relevant results even when the visitor uses different terminology than the documentation. AI chatbots on product and pricing pages reduce bounce by answering pre-sales questions instantly, keeping potential customers engaged instead of leaving to research elsewhere.
