Cited GrowthDex tactics
- Article-to-Beacon contact link at the point of confusionAdd a plain contact link at the end of docs articles so the user can open Beacon with one click when the answer did not quite finish the job.
- Availability-gated docs chat with message fallbackOnly surface live chat on docs pages when staffing is real, and fall back to message capture when the team is offline instead of pretending the handoff is immediate.
- Beacon-only docs site behind loginKeep the docs archive off a public site until logged-in users can reach it through Beacon, so onboarding and support answers stay usable without turning unfinished docs into public scenery.
- Customer-facing docs on a brand subdomainPut the help center on a branded subdomain instead of a vendor URL so the support surface inherits the same trust signals as the main product.
- Internal runbook collections feeding Beacon AIKeep internal-only runbook collections inside the same docs system so support and AI answers can use them without exposing every troubleshooting note to the public.
