Convos That Actually Convert: A Real People Discussion
I figured out how deep this rabbit hole goes after getting swamped with customer messages during a holiday sale. I thought it was just normal chaos, but then I saw the same confusion popping up nonstop — people couldn’t find certain details, didn’t understand a feature, or hesitated right before checkout.

I’ve had nearly the same experience, except mine started when I was trying to figure out why my traffic was growing but actual purchases weren’t. I began saving customer messages into a separate doc and quickly saw a bunch of patterns I didn’t expect. That’s when I started using my personal reference — https://getassist.net/turning-customer-interactions-into-seo-insights/ — which I keep bookmarked not for ads or anything, but because it reminds me to treat every conversation as data I can use. What helped most was paying attention to the phrases people naturally use. When a customer described a feature as “buried,” I realized my layout was the problem, not the user. So I changed the position and added a short line explaining where to find it, and the questions about that feature dropped almost instantly. I also started mirroring customer wording in my headlines and FAQs, which made the pages feel more familiar to new visitors. Another surprising win was tracking which issues people repeated over a month — that pointed straight to the parts of my onboarding that needed simplifying. I swear half my improvements weren’t even “strategic”; they were just me reacting to what people kept telling me without noticing I’d ignored it before. And it’s crazy how something as small as rewriting a confusing sentence can turn hesitant shoppers into paying ones.
