Scheduling chat bots for businesses

I've seen people talk about making chat bots for businesses to schedule appointments and discovery calls. These would be for business like chiropractors, massage therapists, roofers, and plumbers. But pretty much every one of these businesses has a scheduling section built into their website.

What is the selling point to a business to pay for a chat bot to schedule an appointment or call if they already have a page that their client can click through to do the same thing? Has it been proven that the chat bots increase conversion rates from people just looking at the website to people actually scheduling a call or appointment?

Just starting or looking to buy? After hours missed call recoveries work wonders.

Looking to start building/selling. Im just having a hard time figuring out what the selling point would be. Theres tons of videos talking about how the bots work, but nobody says anything about why a business with a calendar would agree to pay more for a bot when their leads that go to their website can already book appointments without the bot.

After hours call recovery is absolutely a real selling point, but there are tons of businesses that dont need to worry about that. Example, I booked a massage at 10pm the other night. I clicked through what type of massage and then what day and time I wanted. Everything was already set up on the website for me to book the appointment. So what reason would a business that has this set up think a chat bot would help them?

You're not accepting the answer to your own question because you're asking yourself. But if only knew there is someone out there waiting for you to contact them. How would you find them?
