Introducing Website Chat: Book More Tours From Your Site
Mikla Website Chat answers every visitor instantly, qualifies the lead, and books the tour right on your venue's site, 24/7. Here is what it does and how to add it.
Introducing Website Chat: Book More Tours From Your Site
The conversation surface your venue has been missing. Now your website answers, qualifies, and books, in your voice, around the clock.
TL;DR
- Website Chat is an embeddable chat widget that drops onto your venue's website and answers visitors instantly, day or night.
- It runs on the same AI brain already handling your email, SMS, and phone calls, so it qualifies the lead, answers from your own pricing and policies, checks your calendar, and books the tour right inside the chat.
- It catches the visitors who would never fill out a form or pick up the phone, the ones who used to leave your site without a word.
- You can add it in minutes. No code rebuild, no new login for your team, no separate inbox to watch.
The leak every venue website has
Think about how most people shop for a venue. They find you on Instagram or a marketplace, click through to your website, and start reading. Then a question comes up. Can we have the ceremony outside? Is the date we want open? What does a Saturday in June actually cost?
If the answer is not right in front of them, most of them leave. They do not fill out the contact form, they do not call, and you never know they were there. The form catches the small slice of visitors who are ready to commit. Everyone else, the browsers, the after-hours planners, the couples comparing five venues at once, slips away quietly.
That is the leak. Your website is your busiest salesperson, and until now it could not talk back.
What Website Chat actually does
Website Chat is Mikla's AI Sales Assistant, now living right on your site. A visitor opens the chat, asks a question in plain language, and gets a real answer instantly, in your venue's own voice.
It is not a scripted bot with five canned buttons. It does the real work:
- Answers from your own documents. It pulls from the same knowledge base you have already given Mikla, your pricing sheets, packages, capacity, and policies, so the answers are accurate and never made up.
- Qualifies the lead. It asks the right questions for the event type, guest count, date, and budget, the way a good coordinator would.
- Checks your calendar. It reads your real availability before it offers a time, so it never promises a date you cannot host.
- Books the tour. The visitor picks a slot and the tour lands on your calendar, with a confirmation sent automatically. All inside the chat, before they ever leave the page.
No forms. No waiting until Monday. No missed inquiry.
The same brain across every channel
The reason Website Chat feels less like a chatbot and more like a member of your team is that it is not a separate product. It is the same AI that already handles your email, SMS, Instagram, and phone calls.
So the channels stay connected. A couple can start a chat on your website at lunch, switch to email that evening, and text you a question on the weekend, and Mikla treats it as one conversation with one memory. No starting over, no repeating themselves, no lead falling through a crack between tools.
If a visitor drops off mid-conversation, Mikla can enroll them in a follow-up sequence automatically, the same way it does for your email and SMS leads. The chat is a new front door, not a new silo.
What it looks like for a visitor
The widget sits quietly in the corner of your site until someone needs it. When they open it, they see your venue's name and a friendly greeting, not a generic "How can we help?" box.
They type their question. The reply streams back in seconds, written in your tone. When the conversation is ready to move forward, Mikla offers real tour times and confirms the booking with a clean summary card, the date, the party size, and your venue's name, with a calendar invite on the way. It feels like texting a coordinator who happens to never sleep.
And because it is built as a self-contained component, it matches your site without fighting your existing design or slowing your pages down.
How to add it to your site
This is the part venue owners expect to be painful. It is not.
- Connect your calendar and inboxes. If you already use Mikla, this is done. The chat shares the same setup.
- Point it at your knowledge base. It answers from the documents you have already uploaded, so it knows your pricing and policies on day one.
- Drop it on your site. Add the widget to your website. No rebuild, no developer project, no new dashboard for your team to learn.
- Preview it in test mode. See exactly what it would say to a visitor, adjust the tone, and approve before it goes live.
Most venues are live the same day.
Why this matters for your bookings
Speed to the first reply is the single biggest lever in venue sales. The venue that answers first usually gets the tour, and the venue that answers in your voice at 11pm, when a couple is finally sitting down to plan after the kids are asleep, wins the ones the others never even see.
Website Chat turns your website from a brochure into a booking engine. Every visitor with a question gets an answer. Every qualified lead gets offered a tour. And your team wakes up to booked site visits instead of a backlog of unanswered messages.
FAQ
Will the chat widget match my website and slow it down?
No. Website Chat is built as a self-contained component, so it renders cleanly on top of your existing site without inheriting or breaking your design, and it stays lightweight so your pages keep loading fast. It looks like it belongs to your brand, not like a bolted-on third-party tool.
Does it actually book tours, or just chat?
It books. Mikla checks your live Google or Outlook calendar, offers only times you are actually available, and writes the confirmed tour straight to your calendar with an invite to the visitor. The booking happens inside the conversation, not in a separate form.
What happens if it does not know the answer?
It never makes one up. If a question falls outside what your knowledge base covers, Mikla hands it off to your team with the full conversation attached, so a human can step in with all the context. Accurate answers or an honest handoff, never a hallucinated price.
How long does it take to set up?
Minutes if you already use Mikla, since the chat shares your existing calendar, inboxes, and knowledge base. New venues connect their calendar, upload their documents, and run test mode before going live. Most are answering real visitors the same day.
