First Greeting Examples for Public Chatbots
Use short first greetings that help customers ask the right question quickly.
Goal
Reduce the blank-page feeling for visitors.
Tell visitors what they can ask
A strong greeting is not a slogan. It tells the customer what the AI can help with.
For example: Ask me about hours, reservations, parking, menu, private events, or how to contact us.
Use the business voice
A friendly local shop can sound warm. A professional office should sound calm and precise. A tourism business should make language support visible.
The greeting should feel like it belongs to the business.
Keep it short enough for mobile
Most visitors will see the greeting on a phone. Long greetings push the input field down and make the chat feel heavier.
If you need more detail, let the AI answer it after the customer asks.
Quick checklist
- The greeting is one or two short sentences.
- It lists useful question examples.
- The tone matches the business.
- It works on mobile.
- It does not overpromise.
