WhatsApp lead capture for WordPress. Greet every website visitor, guide them with simple prompts, and turn clicks into clearer WhatsApp enquiries.

== Description ==

247ChatMate helps businesses turn website visitors into structured WhatsApp conversations.

Instead of showing a basic WhatsApp button and hoping visitors know what to say, 247ChatMate greets the visitor, guides them through simple enquiry prompts, and then continues the conversation in WhatsApp with more context.

This helps businesses receive clearer enquiries, reduce vague messages, and respond faster.

= Why 247ChatMate is different =

Most WhatsApp plugins add a button.

247ChatMate adds a guided visitor journey before WhatsApp opens.

That means every visitor can be greeted, guided and encouraged to explain what they need before the conversation starts.

= Key features =

* Greets website visitors
* Guided enquiry prompts
* Structured pre-chat journey
* Optional message field
* Optional contact details
* Direct WhatsApp handoff
* Mobile-friendly widget design
* Lightweight and performance-focused
* Easy setup with no coding required

= Built for service businesses =

247ChatMate is ideal for businesses that rely on enquiries, call-backs, quotes, bookings or consultations.

Useful for:

* Plumbers
* Electricians
* Builders
* Roofers
* Estate agents
* Clinics
* Dentists
* Gyms
* Solicitors

= Better enquiries, not just more clicks =

A standard WhatsApp button can create conversations, but those conversations often start with very little context.

247ChatMate helps improve the first message by guiding the visitor before WhatsApp opens.
