To get more WhatsApp leads from your website, add a floating WhatsApp button with a pre-filled message, put WhatsApp next to key calls to action (not only in the footer), use page-specific messages so you know what the visitor was viewing, show your reply hours, and track clicks in analytics. For businesses in Bangladesh and many other markets, WhatsApp is often the preferred way to ask a quick question.
- Floating button on mobile, visible but not blocking content.
- Pre-filled messages save the visitor typing.
- Different messages per page tell you the context.
- Reply fast; slow replies waste leads.
- Track button clicks as conversions.
How should WhatsApp appear on your site?
| Placement | Message example |

| Product page | Hi, is the navy cotton panjabi in size L available? |
| Service page | Hi, I’d like a quote for deep cleaning a 3-bed flat |
| Pricing page | Hi, can you tell me more about the business package? |

How do you convert WhatsApp chats into customers?
Picture a furniture shop getting 30 WhatsApp messages a day but closing few. They add quick replies with prices and photos for common questions, reply within ten minutes during business hours, and always end with a clear next step (visit, order link, delivery date). Sales from the same chats rise noticeably. Speed and a clear next step matter as much as the button.
