Your AI chatbot is active and chatting with your visitors. But how do you know if it is truly profitable and fulfilling its role as a Revenue Generator?
EcomBot is not a "black box". It is equipped with a comprehensive analytics system designed specifically for e-commerce. This tutorial explains which metrics you should monitor.
1. Analyze the ROI Dashboard (Generated Revenue)
The first thing to check is the direct financial impact. Thanks to the native tracking of the WooCommerce plugin, EcomBot reliably attributes sales generated or assisted by the chatbot.
- Go to the Analytics tab.
- Observe the Revenue Generated by Bot metric.
- This figure allows you to instantly validate the tool's profitability against the price of your subscription.

2. Monitor the Chatbot's Conversion Rate
Out of the people who interacted with the bot, how many ended up buying?
- Look at the Bot Conversion Rate and compare it to your overall site conversion rate.
- A high-performing chatbot should have a conversion rate significantly higher than the site average because it resolves doubts and pushes for purchases.
3. The Visitor Journey Funnel
If the conversion rate seems low, you need to identify at which stage visitors are abandoning.
- EcomBot automatically tracks the visitor's journey: Discussion ➔ View Cart ➔ Checkout ➔ Purchase.
- Analyze this funnel. If many customers abandon at the "Checkout" stage after chatting with the AI, the problem might be unjustified shipping costs or costs poorly explained by the bot.

4. "Zero-Hits" and Friction
This is the most critical indicator of dissatisfaction.
- A Zero-Hit occurs when the AI answers "I don't know" or finds no matching products.
- Check the Friction Products report: these are the pages where proactive assistance opens often but is ignored, or generates a high abandonment rate.
- Solution: Update the description of the affected product on your site, or add specific Sales Instructions in EcomBot.
5. Manually Audit Key Conversations
Numbers don't tell the whole story. Take 5 minutes a week to read 3 to 5 real conversations.
- Filter the Conversations History to show only abandoned carts or conversations containing an error badge.
- Check if the AI behaved exactly as you wanted. If not, immediately adjust the Persona Limits in the Knowledge Base.
