For example, if there&#8217;s a lot of red in the upper left corner of your page, that could be because visitors are focusing their attention on the top left corner of the page \u2013 which might not be where you want them to focus their attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here are some examples of what you might see:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large dark spot indicates a problem with your website.

These are the areas where customers spent most of their time looking at when they visited your site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you have an ecommerce website, look at what was being sold in each of those hot spots, and figure out if there was something specific about that product or service that makes it more appealing than other items on your site. If so, consider offering discounts or promotions for that product or service to boost sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, if you notice that visitors spend most of their time looking at certain pages or sections of your website, it&#8217;s a good indication that these parts need improvement or additional content so that visitors don&#8217;t have any doubts about what they should do next when revisiting those pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determine_whether_customers_are_clicking_on_images_or_other_elements_using_click_maps\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine whether customers are clicking on images or other elements (using click maps)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a heat map on your site, you can use it to see where customers are clicking and what they&#8217;re interested in. The more you know about these things, the better you can tailor your content and marketing efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you have an eCommerce website and visitors are clicking on the &#8220;buy now&#8221; button more than any other element, then you know they are interested in your products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here are some questions to ask yourself when creating your own heat maps:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What parts of the page get the most attention?

You need to do further research to find out why customers aren&#8217;t scrolling down your site (and then fix it).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let&#8217;s say your scroll map indicates that most people didn&#8217;t scroll past the &#8220;Blog&#8221; section. This gives you an indication that you need to improve the content in that section so that it&#8217;s more interesting to your customers and gets them interested enough to continue reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s a sample scroll map for our pricing page:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2240 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pricing-Page.png\" alt=\"Scroll heat map\" width=\"512\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pricing-Page.png 512w, https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pricing-Page-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scroll map shows us that nearly 70% of our visitors have viewed all four pricing tiers, which is great.
