AI sales agent: the ratios that matter

Shoppers are engaging in real back-and-forth with the agent, averaging almost two replies per conversation. Each conversation is worth roughly R73 in chat-linked sales, a figure that holds whether the agent handles a hundred chats or ten thousand.

  • Chat-to-sale rate: 6.3%
  • About 1 order for every 16 conversations
  • Average order value via chat: R1,154.36
  • Sales value per conversation: R73.22
  • Replies per conversation: 1.8
  • Reported bad reply rate: 0.0%

We focus on these ratios rather than totals because they describe how well the agent sells, and they don't depend on how long the campaign has been running.

What these results measure

Sales figures come from orders linked to chat conversations in the agent's dashboard. They are not total store revenue. Google Ads ROAS uses Google's own conversion tracking, so the two sets of figures are measured separately and should not be added together. The 0.0% bad reply rate is a dashboard metric, not a guarantee that every answer is perfect.
