Overview metrics

Go to Analytics in the sidebar for a dashboard showing your bot's performance over a selected time range.

Open Analytics in admin

The Analytics dashboard. Select a date range and see all key metrics in one view.

The default view shows the last 7 days. Use the date picker to change to 30 days, 90 days, or a custom range.


Key metrics explained

Total conversations — The number of distinct chat sessions. A conversation starts when a visitor sends the first message and ends when the session is inactive for 30 minutes.

Messages per conversation — Average number of visitor messages per session. Higher is usually better — engaged visitors ask follow-up questions. Very low (1.0–1.5) may indicate the bot is not answering questions satisfactorily.

Resolution rate — Percentage of conversations resolved by the bot without a human handoff. Target: 80% or higher for a well-trained bot.

Handoff rate — Percentage of conversations that were escalated to a human. Target: below 20%. If above 20%, review which questions trigger handoffs and add the missing content.

Lead capture rate — Percentage of conversations where a lead was captured. This metric only makes sense if lead capture is enabled and configured.

Top questions — The most frequently asked questions, ranked by frequency. Use this to prioritise content additions — if your #1 question isn't well-answered, fix it first.

Zero-answer rate — Percentage of visitor questions where the bot replied "I don't have that information". This directly maps to content gaps.


Using analytics to improve

Run this monthly review against your analytics:

1. Check handoff rate trend. Is it going up or down? A rising handoff rate means new content gaps are opening faster than you're closing them.

2. Review top questions. Are the top 5 questions answered well? If not, improve those topics first — they have the highest impact.

3. Check zero-answer rate. Every zero-answer is a content gap. Export the list of zero-answer questions and add them to your next FAQ update batch.

4. Compare week-over-week resolution rate. This is the clearest signal of whether your content additions are working.

Set a 75% resolution rate target
Most well-trained bots achieve 75–85% resolution rate within the first month if the knowledge base covers their core use case. If you're below 60%, your knowledge base has significant gaps — prioritise content additions over configuration tuning.
