What can I ask Alexa?

  • To ask Alexa a question about your website, simply ask Alexa to "ask " your question.

    For example, if you want to find out how many people have visited your website recently, you could say, “Alexa, ask Site how many people have visited my website?”
     
  • You could also ask Alexa for helpful tips about marketing, website design, and even SEO. To get a tip for your website, simply say, “Alexa, ask Site  for a website tip.”
  • Want to know if you have sold a product? Ask: “Hey Alexa, ask Site, have I sold anything?"
Pro tip: We’re constantly working to add more capabilities to our Alexa integration to help you achieve better access to the knowledge you need to make your website better and run your business. It's always good to research new features and other user recommendations online, as we will not be able to cover every nuance of a new form of technology.
