"Add a chat widget to catch objections." [DEPENDS]
The live-chat bubble spread because vendors sell it as a conversion tool and it feels proactive. Often it's just a notification badge that covers your CTA on mobile.
The mechanism: chat works when objections are unpredictable and high-value — enterprise deals, custom pricing, "does it integrate with our weird stack." A human (or decent bot) clearing a blocker in real time saves a deal.
Where an FAQ block wins: the objections are the same eight questions every time. A well-ordered FAQ answers them instantly, with zero staffing, and Google can index it. A chat widget forces the visitor to type a question you already knew they'd ask.
The rule: predictable objections → static FAQ. Bespoke, expensive, varied objections → chat.
The nuance: most teams add chat to dodge writing the FAQ. Write the FAQ. Then add chat only if the questions stay weird.
