Exit Intent

Exit intent technology detects when a user is about to leave a webpage (typically by tracking mouse movement toward the browser close button or address bar) and triggers a popup or message. Exit intent popups can recover potentially lost conversions by offering valuable content, discounts, or prompting action before the visitor leaves.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Exit intent popups can capture leads from visitors who might otherwise leave without converting. For home care, effective exit intent offers include downloadable guides (“Free Guide: 10 Questions to Ask Home Care Agencies”), newsletter signup, or phone consultation scheduling.

Use exit intent thoughtfully—aggressive popups frustrate users and can increase bounce rates. Keep messages gentle and valuable, ensure popups are easily dismissible, and don’t show them to returning visitors who’ve already declined. The goal is recovering interested prospects, not annoying everyone.

Key Takeaway

Test exit intent on high-traffic pages where visitors leave without converting. Offer genuine value (not just a newsletter signup), and measure impact on both conversions and user experience. A poorly implemented exit popup can do more harm than good.
