The festive season is upon us and with it comes the much-anticipated shopping frenzy of Black Friday.

That’s where Microsoft Clarity, a powerful tool designed to give you insights into how visitors interact with your website, comes in to save the day. In this post, we’ll take a look at how Microsoft Clarity’s key features: Heatmaps, Session Recordings, and Dashboard Insights, can optimize your website’s performance during the Black Friday period and beyond.

Heatmaps are a visual representation of where users click, move, and scroll on your website. By analyzing these patterns, you can identify which areas of your site are drawing the most attention and which might be overlooked. For Black Friday preparations, heatmaps can help you:
– Pinpoint popular products or deals that users are gravitating towards.
– Identify any navigation issues or bottlenecks that might hinder the shopping experience. Use rage click maps to find where users repletely click in an area, or dead click maps to see where users are clicking but not action is happening.
– Optimize the placement of promotional banners or call-to-action buttons to maximize conversions.
-Dig deeper into conversion data with Conversion Heatmaps for Shopify sites.
