Curious about Videobots? Here's how to get started

Thinking about adding a videobot to your site? Good news, trying one is easy and you can get started for free. But before you hit record, it is worth taking a few minutes to think through what makes a great videobot experience.

Here's how to get started the right way.

First, what's a videobot?

A videobot is a short, interactive video that lives on your site. It's you or someone from your team talking directly to visitors, helping them find what they're looking for. People can click and choose where to go next, like a branching conversation.

It's not just video. It's not just a chatbot. It's a simple way to add a human touch to your website.

Start by thinking about your goal

Ask yourself what should the visitor do next?

Maybe you want to

• Introduce a product
• Explain your consulting service
• Invite people to a house tour
• Start a conversation via contact form

Pick one clear goal. That helps keep your flow simple and focused.

Record the first video

This is where it all begins. Keep it short and friendly. Think of it as the welcome moment, someone just landed on your site and you are saying hello.

• Use your phone. Quality is good and it feels more natural.
• Look into the camera. Smile. Talk like you would to a real person.
• Say what this is and offer clear next steps.

Example “Hey, I'm Anna, and I create custom shoes that fit perfectly. Want to hear how we make them or see some styles you might like?”

Build out your flow

From that first video, think about where people might want to go next.

Let them choose between 2 or 3 simple paths. For example

• Show me how the product works
• I want to see real examples
• Just send me the pricing

Each click leads to another short video. You can go deeper where needed but don't overcomplicate. People love clarity.

Add a way to get in touch

End your flow with a clear way to continue the conversation. You don't need to book anything. Just use the built-in contact form in your videobot and say something like

“Got questions? Just leave your email and I'll get back to you.”

That's it. Personal, easy, and low-pressure.

Try it yourself

The best way to learn is to try it. You can build and publish a videobot for free with Sisu Video. No stress. No credit card needed.
