**Turn your WordPress website into a 24/7 lead generation machine — without missing a single visitor.**

SiteLeads is a lead generation contact widget built for small businesses. Most plugins just add buttons to your site. SiteLeads goes further: it combines every channel your customers already use — WhatsApp, phone, email, Messenger, Telegram, Instagram — with a free **AI chatbot** that starts conversations, qualifies visitors, and collects their contact information automatically. Even while you sleep.
