How to Track Returning Visitors and Recognize Repeat Behavior in Chatmyer

🔄 Why Returning Visitors Matter


Most users don’t convert on their first visit.

But when they come back — that’s a sign of interest, trust, or consideration.


Tracking returning visitors helps your team:


  • Identify high-intent users

  • Personalize conversations with past context

  • Re-engage warm leads more effectively


Chatmyer makes this easy with real-time return visitor detection and repeat behavior tracking — all from your dashboard.




🔍 How Chatmyer Identifies Returning Visitors


Chatmyer tracks each website visitor using:

Method

What it does

🌐 Browser Session ID

Recognizes the same browser/device over time

🧠 IP & User Agent Data

Helps link sessions from similar setups


This lets Chatmyer determine whether a visitor has visited your site before — even if they haven’t chatted yet.




📊 Where You Can See Returning Visitor Info


✅ 1. Live Visitor Panel (User Sessions)


  • Each visitor includes a “Returning Visitor” tag if applicable

  • You’ll see this label in their session block, along with their current page and time on site


✅ 2. Visitor Profile / Details View


  • When you click into a visitor’s session, Chatmyer shows:


    • Previous visit(s): time and pages viewed

    • Behavioral patterns: pages often visited, average time spent

    • Past chat history (if they’ve interacted before)


✅ 3. Dashboard Overview (Stats Widget)


  • The “Returning Visitors %” is shown in your main dashboard panel

  • Gives a daily/weekly snapshot of how many sessions come from returning users




🧠 What You Can Learn from Repeat Behavior

Behavior

What It Might Mean

Visiting the same page again

They’re reconsidering or comparing options

Spending longer on site

They’re closer to making a decision

Not chatting yet

They may need a nudge or assurance

Checking pricing repeatedly

They’re weighing the value


These insights help your agents and sales reps start smarter conversations — based on actual behavior, not guesses.
