Website Visitor's Analysis - the key part and also the difficult task in Digital Marketing plays a major role in increasing the conversion rates, decreasing the bounce rates, etc. and helps improve your site's user experience and performance.

It is the segment where you need to invest a lot of tools and chunk of time analyzing the results and online behaviour of your website users. So, here I present you with an easier all-in-one and time saving analysis tool to measure and observe user behaviour (what users do) and the feedback tool to collect what your users suggest/say.

 

Hotjar?

Hotjar is a new powerful All-in-one Analysis and Feedback tool that reveals the online behaviour and voice of your website users. Combining both Analysis and Feedback tools, Hotjar gives you a bigger picture of how to improve your site's user experience and performance and allow you to hear what your users have to say.

The analysis tools include:

Heatmaps - The visual representation of the users clicks, taps and scrolling behaviour. This helps to understand what the users are actually looking for in your website/webpage.

Visitor Recordings - Video recordings of the real visitor behaviour on your website, viz. clicks, taps and mouse movements. This helps to identify the real visitor's behaviour and navigation on your website.

Conversion Funnels - The dashboard displaying the percentage and the number of visitors landing on a page and exiting on which page and at which step. This helps to find and improve the funnel by identifying on which page and at which step most visitors are leaving your site.

Form Analytics - The dashboard displaying the percentage and the time taken by the visitor in filling up the various fields of the form. This helps to improve the online form completion rates.

The feedback tools include:

Incoming Feedback (BETA) - Just added recently and currently in BETA stage, it helps to gather the feedback of the users about the site.

Feedback Polls - Target questions to visitors anywhere on your web and mobile site. This helps in understanding what your visitors want and why they are leaving the site.

Surveys - Hold your visitors and invite them just before they abandon your site to uncover their objections or concerns.
