1. Set Clear Business Goals First
Before diving into analytics, know what success looks like for your website.
- Are you trying to generate leads, book appointments, or drive sales?
- Do you want users to call you, submit a form, or download a brochure?
Your business goals will dictate which user behaviors to prioritize. In your demo, we’ll structure your site around actual measurable objectives.
2. Use Analytics Tools to Track Behavior
Tools like Google Analytics 4, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity reveal:
- How users found your site
- What pages they visit most
- How long they stay and where they drop off
- What devices they use
We’ll walk you through this data live on your custom demo site—and show how to interpret it for growth.
3. Analyze User Flow to Spot Friction Points
Understanding user flow helps answer:
Where are users going—and where are they leaving?
Where are users going—and where are they leaving?
- Identify high-bounce pages
- Map out conversion paths
- Pinpoint where users hesitate or abandon forms
We’ll show you real-time user flow examples during your demo and how we redesign around them to increase conversions.
4. Monitor On-Site Search Terms
Your internal site search is a goldmine of insight.
- What are users trying to find?
- Are you offering the right content?
- Is that content easy to locate?
We’ll show how to build a smart search experience that helps users find what they need faster—especially useful for service-based businesses across Westchester and Putnam Counties.
5. Use Heatmaps to Visualize Interaction
Heatmaps show where users:
- Click most frequently
- Scroll and stop reading
- Ignore content altogether
We’ll integrate heatmap tracking into your live demo site and walk you through what the results mean—and how to act on them.
6. Collect Direct Feedback with Surveys
Sometimes the best way to know what your users want is to ask them directly.
- Simple, non-intrusive surveys help capture pain points and suggestions
- Learn what visitors expected vs. what they actually found
- Uncover barriers to conversion that data alone can’t show
We’ll demonstrate smart, branded survey options during your free Google Meet demo.
