Why This Feature Matters
This feature allows your business to engage more effectively with non-English speaking leads and ensures they have a seamless experience on your website. By supporting multiple languages, you can:
- Improve client satisfaction through a language they understand.
- Increase conversion rates by making it easier for leads to navigate your site.
- Facilitate better communication by routing leads to agents who can speak their language.
Real-world Example
A client who speaks Spanish can browse your property listings comfortably, increasing their likelihood of reaching out.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Translate Your Site Using a URL Code
To display your site in a different language, simply append the corresponding code to the end of any page URL using the format:https://www.YourSite.com/#/lang-[language code]
Example for Spanish:https://www.BestRealEstateSiteEver.com/#/lang-es
2. Automatic Tagging and Notes for Leads
When a lead registers while viewing a translated version of your site:
-
A language tag (e.g., “Spanish”) is automatically added to their profile
-
A Note appears in the CRM under History stating:
“This lead registered while using the translate feature to display the site in [Language Name].”
3. Route Leads Based on Language Tags
-
Use language tags in your Lead Routing rules to assign leads to agents who speak the same language
-
You can also assign auto-responses, texts, and voicemails in the corresponding language
