A WordPress chatbot that answers from your own pages. Install the plugin or paste one snippet, give it your site and documents, and it answers visitors, captures leads and hands over to you.

A WordPress chatbot plugin adds a chat window to your site and something to answer in it. SimplyBoost's answers from your own content: it reads your pages and posts, your PDFs and your FAQs, and replies only from those, in the visitor's language. It asks for a name and email when a visitor shows interest, books meetings in Google Calendar, and hands the conversation to your team when a person is needed. The plugin adds one script tag and a settings page where you paste your Bot ID; a snippet or Google Tag Manager does the same without a plugin. Free 7-day trial, then €39 a month.

  • One script tag
  • Works with any theme and page builder
  • Hosted in Europe

Plugin, snippet or Google Tag Manager: which install to use

All three load the same chat widget. The difference is who can change it later and what it touches on your site.

InstallHowChanges on your siteBest when
WordPress pluginDownload it from the dashboard, upload under Plugins, activate, paste your Bot ID under Settings → SimplyBoost ChatOne script tag in the footer, one settings pageYou want the widget managed from the WordPress admin, by someone who does not edit code
Snippet with a code pluginPaste the snippet as a site-wide footer snippet in WPCode or your theme's custom code boxOne script tag in the footerYou already use WPCode or a theme with a code box
Google Tag ManagerNew tag → Custom HTML → paste the snippet → trigger All Pages → publishNothing in WordPress; the tag loads itMarketing owns the tags, or you run several sites from one container
Theme filePaste the snippet before the closing body tag in the footer templateA theme edit that an update can overwriteOnly when nothing else is available

The widget is a script loaded from SimplyBoost's servers, so caching plugins keep working and page speed is not tied to your hosting. Nothing from a conversation is stored in your WordPress database.

What the WordPress AI chatbot does once it is on the site

Answers from your pages and posts

Paste your domain or sitemap and it reads the site: up to 150 pages on Starter, 500 on Growth, 1,500 on Pro, re-read daily or weekly if you choose. Add PDFs and documents for what is not on the site.

Replies in the visitor's language

One knowledge base, replies in the language the visitor writes, or fixed to English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish.

Captures leads

Asks for name, email, phone or company when a visitor shows interest, with a form card in the chat. Leads are scored hot, warm or cold and emailed to you.

Books meetings

Connect Google Calendar and the chatbot offers free slots, creates the event and sends the confirmation.

Hands over to your team

A request for a person, a complaint or a refund question reaches you by email, in the dashboard, in Slack or as a helpdesk ticket, with the conversation attached.

Matches your site

Colours, position, greeting, the questions shown as chips when the chat opens, and a self-hosted font so nothing loads from Google Fonts.

WooCommerce, page builders and the rest

Works out of the box

  • Any theme, classic or block
  • Elementor, Divi, Bricks and other page builders: the widget sits outside the page layout
  • Multilingual sites with WPML or Polylang: the chatbot answers in the language the visitor writes
  • Caching and optimisation plugins

WooCommerce, honestly

  • Product pages are read as content, so the chatbot answers product questions
  • No order lookup, cart or checkout actions for WooCommerce; those exist for Shopify only
  • Leads and handovers work the same on a WooCommerce store

Signed-in sites

  • A membership or customer portal can tell the chatbot who is asking, with a signature only your site can make
  • The internal chatbot for staff works the same way on an intranet

WordPress chatbot questions

The SimplyBoost plugin is free to download from the dashboard, and every account starts with a free 7-day trial with 100 AI replies. There is no permanent free plan; after the trial it is €39 a month. Free chatbot plugins elsewhere usually offer live chat or a scripted bot, not AI answers from your own content.

Create a SimplyBoost account, give the agent your site and documents, then either install the plugin (upload, activate, paste your Bot ID under Settings → SimplyBoost Chat) or paste the snippet as a footer snippet with WPCode or through Google Tag Manager. It is live as soon as the page reloads.

The chatbot reads your product pages and answers questions about them, captures leads and hands over to your team. It does not look up WooCommerce orders or build carts; those actions exist for Shopify only.

It adds one script tag that loads the widget from SimplyBoost's servers, after your page. Caching plugins keep working, and no conversation data is stored in your WordPress database.

Yes. The widget sits outside the page layout, so it works with Elementor, Divi, Bricks and block themes alike. Nothing in your templates changes.

Yes. It answers in the language the visitor writes, from one knowledge base, or you fix the language to English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish. On a WPML or Polylang site each visitor is answered in the language they write.
