What a chatbot actually does for a small business
A chatbot answers common questions instantly: timings, prices, service areas, and how to book. On your website it keeps visitors engaged; on WhatsApp it reduces “Seen” without reply frustration.
For a Lahore shop with one admin handling Instagram DMs and walk-ins, a bot filters noise and sends qualified leads with name and phone ready.
