Hotjar Insights is a new way to reveal true website user behavior and experiences in one central tool — giving you the big picture of how you can improve website UX and conversion rates. The tool includes lots of data points and types so you can collect information abut users in a variety of ways.

And everything you find out is easily accessible at any time. Hotjar Insights stores reports and data securely stored in the cloud, and they’re accessible at lightning speed.

What’s different about this tool is that it includes many of the tools — heatmaps, funnel & form analysis, visitor session playback, etc. – in one place. Other similar tools require subscriptions to multiple services for access to this kind of data because they really only focus on one point of data collection. Hotjar Insights allows you to access information from a variety of methods.

Here are a few of the things you can do with Hotjar Insights:

  • Compare taps and clicks before and after tweaks
  • Change page copy to reflect visitor objections
  • Overhaul forms to generate more leads
  • Test what content works best above “the fold”
  • Improve navigation
  • Identify what new content needs to be added to the page
  • Generate new A/B test ideas
  • Remove or rethink ignored content
  • See which type of imagery works best
  • Improve your UX on different screen resolutions

Hotjar Insights comes packed with tools in a unified platform. Here’s what you can expect to see and use.

  • Heatmaps: Figure out what users want by looking at where they click and tap and where they scroll. This information can determine visitor motivation and help you convert more clicks.
  • Feedback and Exit Polls: Ask visitors as many questions as you like about their user experiences. This can help you improve the performance of your site and understand what visitors like and don’t like about the experience you provide.
  • Online Surveys: With a built-in survey editor, you can collect responses from users on any device in real-time. Distribute surveys with links, via email or right on your website.
  • Funnel and Form Analysis: Find the biggest opportunities for improvement and testing by identifying on which page and at which step most visitors are leaving your site. This tool can help you improve online form completion rates by analyzing which fields are often left blank, which items take too long to fill out and why visitors leave the form altogether.
  • Visitor Session Playback: Actually “record” real visitor sessions. By seeing how a visitor interacts with your site, you can identify issues and high points by watching clicks, taps and mouse movements.
  • Recruit User Testers: If you are looking for the right panel of testers, use this tool to recruit participants for research right from your site. You can collect profiling information, contact information and even offer a gift for participation.
  • Proactive Chat: Invite visitors to chat about concerns, questions and objections on both desktop and mobile devices. Use these insights to change your pages and the user experience to tackle these issues and improve conversion rates.
