How Overfuel improved the car shopping experience with Microsoft Clarity

What is Overfuel?

Overfuel provides the fastest, most reliable mobile-first websites for dealerships. Founded in 2022, Overfuel released automotive’s first no-code website platform with drag-and-drop content management, natively integrated digital retailing, and advanced visitor-level analytics.  

Who is Overfuel intended for?

Overfuel powers automotive websites across the United States, including both franchise (Honda, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM) dealerships and independent pre-owned lots. They target dealerships with anywhere from 50 vehicles to over 1,000. With a focus on lead generation and digital retailing, Overfuel aims to drive more online car sales by offering direct-to-consumer vehicle reservations like Carvana and Vroom, to dealerships of any size.  

The Challenge

The primary challenge in the automotive industry is the unnecessary complexity and poor user experience caused by third-party plugins. Everyone has a horror story of trying to shop for a car online, with slow websites, pop-ups competing for their attention, and competing calls to action. Third-party plugins not only slow down a website, but they create gaps in reporting because they’re competing against each other for leads, rather than communicating with each other. The conversion funnel ends up broken up across multiple vendors with no connectivity between them.  

Finding a solution

Overfuel added Microsoft Clarity to its highest traffic dealership websites to track user behavior and make improvements to its user experience. Clarity helped make significant improvements to consumer-facing products and also educated dealerships on the best practices for improving conversion rates. Since 80% of car shopping takes place on a mobile device, Overfuel used Clarity to keep a close eye on mobile browsing behaviors and optimize for a mobile-first experience.  

After deploying Clarity for a few weeks to collect data, Overfuel closely monitored the dashboard and email digests to see if any interesting metrics stood out. One thing that immediately grabbed their attention was the JavaScript error tracking. They found that customers using third-party plugins (live chat, iFrame forms) experienced a 10-12x increase in errors. Overfuel hypothesized that these plugins may be hindering user experience, and Clarity’s data proved it. For example, the “Close” button on a third-party live chat product accounted for 20.5% of all clicks on a vehicle listing.  

Second, they noticed a substantial percentage of dead clicks, sometimes exceeding 20% of all interactivity. They were able to use session recordings to identify design elements that confused customers. The issues varied widely: sometimes it was not clear that an element wasn’t intended to be clicked, or it exposed elements that were too small which they fixed by expanding click radiuses.  

The third interesting metric was rage clicks. Clarity’s session recordings showed numerous instances of third-party plugins blocking users from actions they intended to take. In one instance, a broken pop-up widget prevented a customer from completing a lead form. They were stuck rage clicking, unable to convert or close the pop-up. 

Lastly and perhaps most importantly, Overfuel used heatmaps and scroll maps to understand how consumers were interacting with products. When Overfuel realized that 80% of users don’t scroll more than 25% of a page, they were compelled to rethink the placements of the most important calls to action.  

They also found that: 

 ● Freeform inventory search accounts for 24.9% of all homepage activity, so they implemented “Smart Search” improvements to detect common vehicle misspellings, recommend search results, and enabled customers to search by color and body type (“red SUV”) or popular features (Apple CarPlay, heated seats). 

 ● Clicking vehicle tiles (Cars, Trucks, SUVs) accounted for 14% of all homepage clicks, and Overfuel discovered that the most common behavioral pattern is clicking a body type (“SUV”), selecting a color (“Red”), then narrowing down the results by color. 

The Results

Overfuel’s philosophy is to provide customers with exactly what they want as quickly as possible. To achieve this, the company has made the top three consumer intents available above the fold.

The team at Overfuel has been successful in increasing user engagement by implementing Smart Search directly into the hero banner. The company has since expanded the use of Smart Search across its customer base due to its positive results.

Prior to this implementation, search was only available in the hamburger menu, which was the third most-clicked element. Since the implementation of Smart Search, the hamburger menu icon has shifted to the fourth most-clicked element, while Smart Search has taken over as the most-clicked element.

Testimonial

“Microsoft Clarity helps us empirically prove what many have believed in automotive for years: many dealership websites are inundated with plugins and unnecessary complexity that hinders the car shopping experience for consumers. By monitoring our websites with Clarity, we’ve dramatically improved user experience by reducing dead clicks, rage clicks, and using heat maps to inform where we put calls to action throughout a website. Not only has it helped us increase conversion, but it’s helped us identify problematic plugins and third-party widgets that get in the way of a positive shopping experience.”

RicketyRoo

RicketyRoo

How this SEO agency increased conversions by 122% using Microsoft Clarity

What is RicketyRoo?

RicketyRoo is a remote-based SEO agency that provides premium services in Local SEO, PPC/SEM, and website design.

Celeste Gonzalez (pictured below) is an SEO strategist and account manager for RicketyRoo, and the primary lead for this project.

Challenge

Their client in the home building industry had been experiencing consistent growth in organic traffic year-over-year. However, despite attracting visitors to their website, the conversion rate for form submissions was very low, at less than 1%. The agency identified several issues that were contributing to the low conversion rate, including slow page loading, unoptimized hero images, and poor placement of contact forms and calls-to-action.

Finding a solution

RicketyRoo used Microsoft Clarity‘s session recordings, heatmaps, and Google Analytics integration to analyze their client’s website. This allowed the team to gain insights into user behavior and engagements.

Metrics such as sessions, scroll depth, pages per session, time spent, dead clicks, quick backs, form completions, and calls were monitored, and Microsoft Clarity helped uncover specific issues that were affecting the user experience on their client’s website.

While watching session recordings, the team noticed that the pages loaded too slowly, the hero image was the only visible content once the pages loaded, and there was no content above the fold that urged users to reach out. Additionally, contact forms were placed above the blog content on mobile, and some text was hard to read due to font color and placement on the homepage.

Based on the insights from Clarity, several actions were taken to address the identified issues on their client’s website:

  • The hero image size was decreased across the site to ensure that users could quickly access the information they were looking for.
  • The hero image was removed from blog posts, and the contact form was moved below the content to enhance user experience and encourage engagement.
  • A call-to-action banner was added above the point in the floor plans page, where the majority of users scrolled, urging them to contact the client.
  • Changes were made to the homepage, including adjusting font colors, reducing hero image size, and replacing a “Watch The Video” button with a “Contact” button.

Results

After conducting a test, the team observed that their client’s site visits increased, scroll depth slightly decreased, and there was an uptick in dead clicks on the floor plans page. This confirmed their suspicion that they needed to improve site speed.

They also discovered that users expected to be redirected to a specific floor plan page when they clicked on a particular element on the floor plans page. To address this issue, they decided to create individual floor plan pages to improve the browsing experience for users.

After implementing this second round of changes, RicketyRoo measured the results over a three-month period, revealing that there was a significant increase in both form submissions and phone calls by 122.22% compared to the month before implementation.

29% increase in user sessions and 6% increase in active time spent

Learnings

The implementation of UX/UI changes based on Microsoft Clarity’s AI-driven insights led to a significant improvement in conversions for their client, demonstrating the effectiveness of small, targeted improvements in user experience. By identifying and addressing specific issues such as slow page loading, unoptimized hero images, and poor placement of contact forms and calls-to-action, the team was able to enhance their client’s website user experience and increase engagement from prospective customers.

Testimonial

“By leveraging Clarity’s session recordings, heatmaps, and valuable metrics, we identified key areas for improvement in user interaction on our client’s site. The detailed insights provided by Clarity empowered us to make strategic UX/UI changes, resulting in a remarkable 122.22% increase in conversions over just three months. Clarity isn’t just a tool; it’s a catalyst for transformation, even for smaller sites. It’s an essential ally for any business looking to enhance user experience and drive meaningful results.”

Ultrafarma

Ultrafarma

How Ultrafarma increased product visibility and conversion by 25% with Microsoft Clarity

What is Ultrafarma?

Created in 2000, Ultrafarma is one of the largest online pharmacies in Brazil, and offers a variety of generic medicines to consumers, with savings of up to 80%. Mr. Sidney Oliveira, the founder of Ultrafarma and a seasoned entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical retail space, aimed to enter the pharmaceutical E-Commerce industry by launching an e-pharmacy brand that caters to nationwide demand while keeping prices affordable for consumers.

Ultrafarma caters to a large consumer base, ranging from retail and distribution to industrial product development in the supplements industry. Their primary consumers are individuals in modest income households who seek affordable generic alternatives to popular medicines and supplements.

As Ultrafarm’s Marketing Analyst, Leonardo Kuwer Saenz Artioli (pictured below) oversees all the marketing and research analysis of  Ultrafarma subsidiaries in the digital space. He graduated in Advertising in the Federal University of Pampa, and has 5+ years in digital marketing with a special focus in bringing success through data-driven insights to improve the consumer journey.

Challenge

The team installed Microsoft Clarity for their Android app to make sure they were offering the best experience for their app users. They wanted to evaluate the intuitiveness and discoverability of their mobile app’s current design, which heavily relied on slider display buttons containing numerous products and offers by Ultrafarma.

Finding a solution

To determine whether to phase out or continue relying on their slide display button, the team used  Tap Heatmaps, which give them an insider view of the level of impact that their sales messaging and layout had with driving conversions. The Taps Heatmaps helped them answer questions about their users’ initial clicks and the relative frequency of clicks on the slider button compared to other elements on the screen.

By experimenting and analyzing the conversions of two scenarios – one with the slider button and one without – and by understanding the product discovery provided by Clarity’s Mobile SDK heat maps, the team concluded that it would be best to replace the pagination and product display scrolling buttons with infinite scroll, especially on product categories.

For one week, they made a comparison of heat maps to analyze the users’ conversions of their app before and after infinite scroll was implemented. The result was increased user retention, product visibility, and conversion on average by 30%. This change also increased average time spent on the app by 3 minutes which in turn led to higher rate of user engagement. 

Learnings

The team found Microsoft Clarity to be incredibly useful with Ultrafarma’s Android app, in making important business decisions that impacted revenue. Clarity’s features provided a clear picture of the customer journey from the time they visit to when they exit, giving them a visual direction into what areas of improvement they needed to prioritize through session replays and heatmaps.

They learned that even the most prominent app design (slider buttons) that has been there for years can be completely replaced to provide the best customer journey for their users, and to increase their business engagement and conversion KPIs. 

Testimonial

“With Clarity, we sustain a great experimentation culture in our departments of Sales and Marketing, in which important business decisions, with the supervision of our CEO, are made watching real use of our mobile app. No guessing involved or relying on end-of-month revenue total, to measure success. Being able to make changes in time to get back on track and having the opportunity to experiment on the go, is key for making the most out of our traffic sources.”

Challenge

Brainstorm Force wanted to provide a search field to help visitors navigate seamlessly, in addition to strategically placing the various links and call to action buttons. They came across two challenges.

The company realized that their search bar caused confusion and made it difficult for visitors to locate what they were looking for. Another challenge was to assist visitors to preview the company’s Starter Templates. Users were struggling to preview the templates even though the mouse hover allowed them to click and view them. Click-through rates were much lower than the company wanted to see.

Starter Templates is an extensive library of pre-built website templates that cover just about any niche and business out there. Over 3.5 million websites were created using these Starter Templates in 2022. 

A major selling point for these templates was that users can import a Starter Template, and have the website ready in a matter of minutes. The library page wasn’t delivering this selling point expected by website visitors.

“We created the Starter Templates page to showcase our pro-quality readymade templates. They are a USP of Astra and we spent a lot of time and resources making them the best they could be. However, the page we were showcasing them on just wasn’t delivering the experience visitors wanted or the conversions we needed.”

Finding a solution

The company used Clarity’s session recordings and heatmaps features to overcome two challenges. The recordings helped Brainstorm Force gain understanding of their designs and templates, and showed areas of improvement they never considered. The features even helped them improve traffic to their templates.

To address the first challenge, the company added a search option to the navigation bar.

This resulted in an immediate improvement in the customer journey and an increase in traffic to the templates.

The next challenge was to ensure customers were able to preview them without confusion.

Image shows the Astra website with a screen full of cards showing website templates. There is an overlay of click heatmap, which shows that most of the clicks were on the header, rather than the templates.

With the help of Microsoft Clarity‘s heatmaps, they identified the problem area and added two descriptive call to action buttons when a visitor hovers over each template.

This image shows the Astra templates list with a new card design that when hovered over shows the buttons, \

Results

By making these two simple changes, website users were able to better understand how to navigate their website. 

The outcome?

They saw a 10% increase in click engagement for their landing page templates. Starter Templates also saw an immediate 12.17% increase in the number of users viewing them, as shown in the following two images.

This image shows the Clarity website on the heatmaps vertical, with the Astra homepage as the website to show the heatmap over. The heatmap overlay shows that the template cards now have 12% more interactions than before, and there's a lot more heat showing over the templates compared ot before.

Learnings

Ultimately, the company fostered a user-centric mindset and placed themselves in the shoes of their website visitors in order to truly understand the user’s perspective.

Their advice? Businesses need to approach each page and interaction as if they are a brand-new visitor, unfamiliar with the layout and functionalities. By adopting this mindset, they can uncover potential pain points and identify areas that may confuse or frustrate users, which can be very beneficial for business growth and user retention.

Testimonial

“It’s often the little things that matter the most and with Microsoft Clarity, we were able to make those minor tweaks and enhancements that lead to a visible improvement in user experience. From our website visitors being able to navigate easily to an immediate 12.17% increase in click throughs to our Starter Templates, Clarity has brought in immediate results. We are confident that these numbers will continue to increase.”

Finding a solution

Finding a solution

Integrating Microsoft Clarity into the website was a straightforward process. Leveraging Clarity’s heatmaps, session recordings, and rage click and dead link filters, Mike gained deep insights into user behavior on his site. These insights guided his decision-making process and enabled us to enhance our landing page effectively. 

Based on the insights provided by Clarity, he immediately made significant changes to the website. These changes included a redesign of the homepage, focusing on shortening the page and implementing best practices for displaying data on mobile devices. Mike was also able to redesign several pages that had high bounce rates and surfaced information based on heatmap data to provide value to visitors right away.

BEFORE

AFTER

Additionally, he addressed issues with the functionality of the website’s “get the emails” button, ensuring it worked correctly and captured more signups by using an embed vs. a multi-step signup process. These changes, driven by insights from Clarity, resulted in a smoother user journey and improved overall functionality.

Mike was impressed by the impact of these changes. The bounce rate plummeted from 65% to 43%, and engagement time increased from 25 seconds to 55 seconds on average.

Learnings

AIModels.fyi’s experience with Microsoft Clarity highlighted its value as a tool for understanding user behavior and optimizing websites. Through Clarity, Mike learned the importance of shortening and redesigning the homepage, optimizing functionality by reducing work for the user, and prioritizing key features such as search and the leader board.

Moving forward, Mike has exciting plans to further enhance AIModels.fyi based on the insights gained from Clarity. He is actively exploring the implementation of an “AI assistant” feature, allowing users to describe their projects and receive AI model recommendations. Additionally, Mike is considering gamification options to increase user engagement and interaction.

In conclusion, Microsoft Clarity played a pivotal role in revamping the landing page of AIModels.fyi. Its ability to provide actionable insights into user behavior empowered the team to make data-driven decisions, resulting in improved user experiences and enhanced performance.

Salesmachine

Salesmachine

How Salesmachine increased product retention by 62% in less than 4 weeks!

What is Salesmachine?

Salesmachine launched in April 2022 with a simple yet powerful vision: to make demo creation accessible to all through an intuitive no-code platform.

Traditional demo creation tools require technical expertise, limiting their impact for non-technical professionals. Salesmachine solves this with a Chrome extension that allows users to create interactive product demos completely visually without writing any code.

The key to Salesmachine’s success is simplicity. The drag-and-drop interface allows users to easily modify demo data, capture the essence of their SaaS products, and create compelling demos that resonate with prospects and drive sales. Salesmachine also provides analytics on demo consumption, giving valuable insights.

Who is Salesmachine intended for?

Salesmachine targets technology companies with 40+ employees that need efficient demo capabilities due to their wide range of products and customers. With a focus on continual innovation and user experience, Salesmachine aims to help customers create the world’s best product demos. The company measures success through the AARRR framework:

• Revenue: Ultimate KPI showing value provided to customers

These metrics ensure Salesmachine delivers maximum value and moves closer to its goal of becoming the leading demo editor. With its intuitive approach, Salesmachine simplifies how sales, marketing, and success teams showcase their products to prospects and customers.

Meet the founder

Chris Strobl (pictured below) is a self-taught software developer who has successfully made the leap into entrepreneurship. He leveraged his technical skills and business acumen to secure funding from the renowned Silicon Valley venture firm, NFX, for his previous startup where he served as CEO and Co-Founder.

As of April 2022, Chris has stepped into the role of CEO and Founder of Salesmachine, a Silicon Valley-based company that provides an innovative platform to create interactive product demos without needing to write a single line of code.

Challenge

The primary challenge for the company was driving user retention. The focus was on increasing the number of daily demo views and specifically, the number of views generated from the demos created by users. These metrics served as crucial indicators of user engagement and the value of the product to customers.

However, Salesmachine faced limitations in understanding user behavior before implementing Microsoft Clarity. Without a visual user behavior tool, it was difficult to identify how users interacted with the platform, where they encountered issues, and which features garnered the most engagement. This lack of detailed, actionable data posed a significant obstacle, especially considering the competition from well-funded rivals in the market.

Maintaining competitive unit economics was crucial for Salesmachine. To achieve this, improving user retention was essential. However, without comprehensive visual data, the company’s product development efforts were ineffective, as they lacked insight into user needs and ways to enhance the user experience. Consequently, the retention rates were not as high as desired, impacting Salesmachine’s ability to compete effectively.

Recognizing the need for a sophisticated visual user behavior tool, Salesmachine turned to Microsoft Clarity. The company hoped to gain deeper insights into user behavior using this tool and utilize those insights to enhance their product and drive user retention. By bridging the gap in understanding their users, Salesmachine aimed to solve the challenge of retaining users, ultimately strengthening their competitive position in the market.

Finding a solution

Microsoft Clarity proved to be an invaluable tool in Salesmachine’s endeavor to boost user retention. The platform provided the company with data-rich visual insights that were instrumental in understanding users’ behavior and making informed decisions to improve their product. By leveraging Clarity’s heatmaps and session recordings, Salesmachine gained a deeper understanding of user interactions and identified areas for enhancement.

The heatmaps offered a clear visual representation of the most and least interacted areas within Salesmachine’s Chrome extension. This valuable insight enabled the team to identify popular features and potential pain points, providing guidance for product development and improvement efforts. With this information, Salesmachine made strategic changes, streamlining the demo creation process and enhancing the user interface to address user issues.

Additionally, session recordings provided a “real-time” view into how users interacted with the product, highlighting where they spent the most time, which features they used frequently, and where they encountered difficulties. This level of detail allowed Salesmachine to understand user behavior more intricately and make data-driven decisions. They could see that a landing page without a video performed much better. Their customers were much more inclined to continue through their funnel with an image demonstrating how their product works.

Thanks to the insights gathered from Clarity, Salesmachine successfully implemented changes that resonated with their users. In less than four weeks, the company experienced a remarkable 62% increase in product retention, as measured by daily demo views. These impressive results demonstrated that the changes informed by Clarity’s insights effectively enhanced user engagement and satisfaction with the Salesmachine product.

BEFORE

AFTER

Learnings

The tool’s rich suite of features, particularly the heatmaps and session recordings, equipped the team with insights that allowed Salesmachine to optimize their product for better user engagement.

The session recordings provided Salesmachine with a direct window into user behavior, offering a detailed understanding of how users navigated through the product, which features they utilized, the difficulties they faced, and their overall interaction patterns. This real-time perspective proved instrumental in informing the team about the user experience and identifying areas for improvement in the product design.

One significant learning from the usage of Clarity was the importance of iframe embedding in Salesmachine’s product. Through the session recordings, the team realized that users often encountered difficulties while navigating the iframe, impacting their overall experience and retention rates.

By implementing changes based on this finding, such as improving the ease of use and accessibility of the iframe, Salesmachine significantly enhanced the user experience. These adjustments, informed by insights from Clarity, played a crucial role in the remarkable increase in their retention rates.

In conclusion, Microsoft Clarity provided Salesmachine with granular insights that enabled them to better understand user behavior and needs. It empowered the team to make informed, impactful changes to their product, resulting in a significant boost in user retention. This experience highlighted the importance of utilizing visual user behavior tools like Clarity to guide product development and improve user engagement.

How ufurnish.com used session recordings to boost website experience and decrease marketing costs by 20%.

What is ufurnish.com?

ufurnish.com is the furniture and furnishings website revolutionizing how consumers search and compare products for their homes. Launched in 2021, ufurnish.com brings together 110+ high-street retailers and smaller independents in one place, giving consumers the confidence that they’ve found the perfect item.

Their consumers are home lovers who visit the platform to search and compare home furniture and furnishing products across the market. They regularly browse to get ideas, compare their favorite products on a personal board, get informed with practical tips, or buy items for their home.

ufurnish.com’s mission is to be the first-choice furniture and furnishings search and discovery platform.

Inderpaul (pictured below) has worked in various paid media and martech roles for over ten years agency and brand side across many verticals. He is now applying that experience as Head of Acquisition & Performance Marketing for ufurnish.com whose vision is to be the world’s largest search and discovery website for home furniture and furnishings.

The Challenge

As a data-driven organization, ufurnish.com prides itself on its ability to track and measure the performance of their website’s traffic channels using Google Analytics. However, despite their expertise, they were baffled by the ‘why’ behind some numbers.

Why were some channels underperforming regarding time on site and page depth? And why were certain category pages experiencing higher bounce rates than others?

While they had their theories, they lacked real validation beyond costly testing and the occasional misstep.

They knew we needed to gain a deeper understanding of these metrics if they were to optimize the traffic and user experience on their site. So, they set their sights on improving the average time spent and pages viewed on our website in 2023, using our newfound insights to achieve our goals efficiently and effectively.

The Solution

Microsoft Clarity proved to be a game-changer for ufurnish.com. With its heatmaps and session recordings, they could finally see what their users were doing on their website. Trends in user behavior were identified, and issues such as poor targeting or poor user experience (UX) were isolated, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of their performance channels. The seamless integration of Clarity with Google Analytics allowed them to analyze the same traffic segments used to report performance and channel traffic, giving them a clear and comprehensive picture of their users.

Armed with the newfound visibility provided by Microsoft Clarity, ufurnish.com was able to fine-tune its targeting efforts and ensure that users found what they needed on its website. Through Clarity’s insights, they identified pain points in their user experience, such as product pages being a poorer experience for discovery compared to category pages, which was an assumption they had. Clarity helped them understand the reasons behind strong metrics like time on site and page depth for product pages, giving them the confidence to deliver traffic to product and category pages. In contrast, their main focus had previously been only on category pages.

Results

As a result of the insights gained from Microsoft Clarity, ufurnish.com confidently delivered traffic to both product and category pages, resulting in a 17% improvement in average time spent on their site and a 12.5% increase in the average number of pages viewed. These optimizations enabled ufurnish.com to improve its conversion points more effectively.

Utilizing the data-driven insights from Microsoft Clarity, ufurnish.com identified and cut out wasted marketing spend, improving the efficiency of their cost per visitor by 20%. These informed decisions and effective allocation of marketing resources resulted in improved conversion rates and cost savings in their marketing efforts.

With the combination of Microsoft Clarity insights and strategic optimizations, ufurnish.com could confidently drive traffic to their website, resulting in increased user engagement, improved conversion rates, and cost savings in its marketing efforts.

Learnings

Utilizing Microsoft Clarity yielded invaluable insights that significantly impacted their digital product roadmap, advertising strategy, and website experience. Through Clarity, they discovered that their pop-up banner for newsletter sign-ups was causing frustration among users, resulting in a high number of clicks and rage clicks. To address this issue and reduce initial friction, the company modified the timing of the pop-up only to appear after a user had visited more than one page. These insights from Clarity allowed the company to make data-driven decisions and implement changes to improve the user experience on their website, ultimately enhancing their digital product offerings and advertising strategy.

Another key learning was the lack of user engagement with filters on category pages. By analyzing user behaviors, they identified that many users struggled to find the specific filter they sought. In response, they changed some of the larger category filters and introduced new filtering options to encourage users to interact with them more.

AFTER

Interestingly, the previous assumption about landing users on product pages was flawed. They had assumed that users were not able to discover new products when landing on these pages. However, with Clarity, they were able to see that many users engaged with the recommendation modules, such as similar products, resulting in increased engagement with multiple pages on the site. These insights have enabled them to refine their digital strategy and make data-driven decisions to optimize the user experience and drive business growth.

“With Clarity’s powerful features, we were able to gain invaluable insights into our users’ behaviour and preferences, which helped us make informed decisions to optimise our digital strategy. The recordings feature gave us visibility into how our users were interacting with our website, enabling us to improve landing page experiences and tailor our advertising campaigns to specific target audiences”

His focus is always to make data-driven decisions to keep Robusta’s products ahead in the market.

The Challenge

The main question that remained unsolved for Robusta before using Clarity was identifying user behavior patterns that led to low engagement or drops in checkout rates. Especially after releasing new features or new versions of an app, The product team still had low visibility on how well-received those specific features were by the users, making it difficult to optimize the user experience and to understand where the action is happening on their apps.

“we need to understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’

AbdelRahman ElNaka

Addressing these challenges required Robusta to leverage various analytics and business intelligence tools to gain insights for developing data-driven strategies. Traditional traffic analysis tools still did not give Robusta the ‘why’ behind what was happening. They need to look deeper and understand exactly how users are using their apps.

The Solution

Robusta decided to add Microsoft Clarity into their Android App using Clarity Mobile SDK to improve user behavior tracking, gain deeper insights into user engagement and retention, and identify the underlying reasons behind their checkout cycle drop rate. The team leveraged session replays to understand specific features usage, heatmaps to understand reasons behind low engagement, and customer segmentation to observe behavior across multiple device types and brands.

Actions Taken:

Bug Fixing: Using Clarity, they identified device-specific bugs and various experience problems that were not apparent through quantitative data analytics. Accordingly, they were able to fix these bugs and provide a better experience across all devices. For example, During their testing process, the team uncovered a significant issue with the search function of one of their e-commerce apps that affected Arabic searches. The team discovered that the search algorithm failed to accurately identify the search query for some words. The issue came to light through watching session replays, which led the team to recognize the need for immediate action to rectify the problem and enhance the user experience of their e-commerce app.

Experience Redesign: Robusta also redesigned some of the experiences in their mobile e-commerce apps, rearranged content for the home pages, split the checkout cycle to make it more friendly and optimized for different interaction points in the users’ search behaviors.

Results

Robusta has found the insights gained from Clarity for mobile apps to be very valuable for understanding their customer behavior which served as a main pillar in driving their data-driven decision-making strategy. They saw a significant improvement in overall user engagement and product value:

Learnings

By using Clarity on their Android apps, Robusta has been able to make informed improvements that enhance user satisfaction and drive business success. Opportunities that they would have missed without using Clarity.

Clarity is now an integral part of our workflow, and I can’t imagine managing our apps without it.”

Michal Barus is the founder of Webjuice (pictured below) where he has worked for the past 13 years. Michal has a background as a developer, SEO, and business development.

The Challenge

Webjuice is a digital marketing agency, that is continuously seeking out innovative methods to either boost revenue per visitor or reduce traffic costs. However, they encountered challenges such as low conversion rates and average order value. To gain a comprehensive understanding of what was happening on their website, they required a visual user behavior tool – conventional analytics failed to provide valuable insights.

As a solution, they turned to Clarity to diagnose and address these issues. Let’s explore the outcome of their efforts.

Why Did They Use Microsoft Clarity?

Microsoft Clarity is a great tool for getting an idea of user behavior, such as clicks, scroll depth, and mouse movements. It had several benefits for analyzing and optimizing their content, website, conversion rate, and page performance.

Microsoft Clarity is a powerful tool that can help you optimize your website’s performance and user experience, leading to improved engagement, conversions, and business success. Using Microsoft Clarity, Webjuice increased Puregreen shop’s organic purchase rate to 2.10%. Before, it was below 0.10%.

Webjuice Wanted to Increase User Engagement & On-Page Time:

Webjuice internal team always creates high-quality and helpful content, but sometimes they faced several issues with converting visitors to customers. They struggled to discover issues from their end and couldn’t find the proper solution. They tried several tools, but none worked quite as well as Microsoft Clarity that gave them the opportunity to optimize their webpage.

They have changed their CTA, content structure, and banner. After changing several items, they were able to optimize their conversion and sales rate.

Finding A Solution:

Webjuice always thinks about their clients and puts its business first. Thus, they must design and create layouts that still look professional while fitting all screens.

To enhance the overall customer experience, the company created a comprehensive model of the traffic funnel by analyzing the customer journey map. During this process, they discovered a significant drop-off rate after potential customers clicked on the sign-up button, as many failed to complete the sign-up process. While the post-sign-up experience was favorable and had a higher conversion rate, the initial sign-up conversion rate fell short of their expectations.

Overall, by taking steps to improve the sign-up process and better understand the needs of its customers, the company increased the conversion rate and ultimately provided a more positive customer experience.

Inbound leads increased by 30% with session recordings and heatmaps, also by visualizing pain points for their customers within their UX design.

After getting the proper data and insights, their design and development team could better understand why they were not able to encourage users to take actions. They repositioned the CTA button and added a lead form to get more subscribers. They also repositioned the purchase button for better engagement.

The Results:

After using Microsoft Clarity, they were able to increase engagement between 5% to 30% on several projects. Clarity helps us target better SEO in Dublin. They discovered the following after using Clarity:

  1. Do not ignore small changes.
  2. Do not be afraid of A/B testing.
  3. Make a decision with proper data.
  4. Observe your users.

Users interacted with their website. With no data limitations or pricing tiers they increased their inbound leads by 30% with session recordings and heatmaps, by visualizing pain points for their customers within their UX design.

“Clarity is an exceptional tool that is imperative for websites that seek to optimize sales and conversions. Its comprehensive and intuitive features make it an indispensable asset for businesses. The tool is particularly remarkable as it is freely available, providing functionality that is typically available only with premium tools.”
