Why Help Centre Article Views matters for Intercom users
Article views tell you what customers are looking for, not just what you have published. High-view articles represent your most impactful content - small improvements to these articles can deflect significant ticket volume. Low-view articles may indicate discoverability problems or irrelevant content.
For Intercom teams, article view data combined with search queries reveals content gaps - topics customers are looking for but not finding. Closing these gaps is one of the highest-ROI investments a support team can make.

Article Effectiveness Score
Customer SupportArticle Effectiveness Score measures how successfully help centre articles resolve customer queries without requiring further human support. It considers article views, positive and negative reactions, and whether customers who view an article subsequently open a conversation. Effective articles deflect tickets and empower self-service.
