00:00.050 --> 00:05.510
So now that you've got live chat all set up in this lecture in order to improve your customer service,

00:05.510 --> 00:09.590
I want to introduce you to an opportunity that you're almost certainly familiar with.

00:09.590 --> 00:15.320
And although it's an opportunity which is very simple and very powerful, it's also often overlooked.

00:15.320 --> 00:16.760
So what am I talking about?

00:16.760 --> 00:22.190
Well, I'm talking about setting up a frequently asked questions page, normally, of course, referred

00:22.190 --> 00:24.470
to simply as an FAQ.

00:24.470 --> 00:29.600
And to set it up, you can see that I'm already over here on online store and pages, so I just need

00:29.600 --> 00:35.900
to click on add page and then give it a title, which of course is going to be frequently asked questions.

00:35.900 --> 00:37.220
So that's the easy bit.

00:37.220 --> 00:38.630
But what about the content?

00:38.630 --> 00:41.720
What about the frequently asked questions themselves?

00:41.720 --> 00:45.830
Well, the good news here is that this page will actually build itself.

00:45.830 --> 00:47.780
And so let me explain.

00:47.780 --> 00:52.730
As your business develops, you're going to see that your customers are going to ask you the same questions

00:52.730 --> 00:54.410
over and over again.

00:54.410 --> 00:58.250
And when they do, that's your opportunity to come back to this page.

00:58.250 --> 01:02.060
Add the question that's always getting asked, the frequently asked question.

01:02.060 --> 01:04.130
And of course, provide an answer.

01:04.130 --> 01:10.700
And by doing that, within 2 or 3 months, you'll probably have around ten FAQs followed by some very

01:10.700 --> 01:12.080
informative answers.

01:12.080 --> 01:15.590
And that's where the simple and powerful part comes in.

01:15.590 --> 01:21.260
Because when visitors come to your store, they will go to your FAQ page, and when they see that,

01:21.260 --> 01:26.990
you're able to answer the majority of questions with really great answers, it's yet another really

01:26.990 --> 01:30.170
great step forward in building that all important trust.

01:30.200 --> 01:35.090
Now, I also said that it's an opportunity that's often overlooked, and that's because while I see

01:35.120 --> 01:41.750
FAQ pages being used extensively on really big e-commerce sites for smaller businesses, for smaller

01:41.750 --> 01:45.890
stores like ours, store owners for whatever reason, tend to ignore them.

01:45.890 --> 01:47.210
They don't create them.

01:47.210 --> 01:52.220
And given that it really only takes a couple of seconds to set it up in the first place, and then after

01:52.220 --> 01:55.340
that, as I described, the content really builds itself.

01:55.340 --> 01:58.970
It is definitely an opportunity that you want to take advantage of.

01:58.970 --> 02:02.690
So I strongly advise you to create an FAQ page.

02:02.690 --> 02:08.420
And so with that said, and the beginnings of my FAQ page set up, I'm going to come up here and simply

02:08.420 --> 02:09.230
save.

02:09.710 --> 02:12.860
And then I want to make a change to my top menu.

02:12.860 --> 02:18.920
So going back to the site of course at the moment I have contact, but what I would prefer to do is

02:18.920 --> 02:20.930
to change that to customer service.

02:20.930 --> 02:25.250
And then under customer service have contact us and FAQ.

02:25.250 --> 02:31.070
And while I appreciate that's only a small change, it is an important one because by writing customer

02:31.070 --> 02:35.000
service at the top of my store, it says that I'm here to help.

02:35.000 --> 02:37.670
Okay, so let's actually go ahead and make that happen.

02:37.670 --> 02:43.250
So going back to admin we go down to navigation and straight to the main menu.

02:43.250 --> 02:49.100
I'll scroll down a little bit and add a new menu item, which of course is going to be customer service.

02:49.100 --> 02:52.280
And I'll link that to my Contact Us page.

02:52.280 --> 02:58.940
Click on add and then let me just collapse the little Our blog submenu to make it easier to see.

02:58.940 --> 03:05.030
Because what we now want to do is to move customer service up to underneath our blog, and then slightly

03:05.030 --> 03:08.720
indent contact so that it sits below customer service itself.

03:08.720 --> 03:12.740
I'm also then going to make a small change because I want it to read contact us.

03:12.740 --> 03:14.480
So let's just click on edit.

03:14.480 --> 03:18.770
I'll type in us and simply click on Apply Changes.

03:18.770 --> 03:20.120
So that's that done.

03:20.120 --> 03:23.000
And then of course I want to add in my FAQ.

03:23.000 --> 03:24.650
So clicking on add menu item.

03:24.650 --> 03:33.380
Once again I will put in FAQ and then of course link it to my newly created Frequently Asked Questions

03:33.380 --> 03:34.130
page.

03:34.130 --> 03:39.260
And now when I save and go back to the site and refresh.

03:39.260 --> 03:45.290
Now of course I see customer service and underneath customer service I've got Contact Us and FAQ.

03:45.440 --> 03:50.570
And so with those two pages, in combination with the live chat that you've now set up, you really

03:50.570 --> 03:54.080
have taken customer service to a whole new level.
