NEW YORK, NY V February 4, 2008 V LivePerson, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPSN), a provider of online engagement solutions that facilitate real-time assistance and trusted expert advice, today announced that it has seamlessly integrated its live chat technology with the powerful Google AnalyticsTM reporting platform enabling small and midsized businesses to accurately measure the impact of the chat channel on sales and conversion rates.
 
Automatically included in LivePerson¦s small & midsized business (SMB) products, this new, value-added feature helps customers pinpoint which keywords and marketing campaigns drive visitors to chat; measure and track the impact of these interactions on conversion rates; and develop an accurate profile of visitors who interact via chat and subsequently make an online purchase.
 
LivePerson's integration with Google Analytics supplies valuable information and validates that chat helps our company double conversion rates over visitors who don¦t chat,¨ said Francis Bilodeau, Web Project Manager for Drummond Designs. Instead of having to hypothesize the importance of using LivePerson¦s chat technology, Google Analytics gives us concrete evidence of its effectiveness and proves our return on investment.¨
 
Sample Reports
