Heatmap
A heatmap is a visual overlay that shows where visitors click, move, and how far they scroll on a page — hot colors for high activity, cool for low. It reveals what actually draws attention, which is often not what you expect.
Why does a heatmap matter to your business?
Heatmaps turn invisible behavior into a picture. They show whether people reach your call to action, click things that are not links, or ignore an important section. That evidence guides layout changes that analytics numbers alone cannot explain.
At Nabee, tools like heatmaps complement analytics under maintenance, helping decide what to improve on a page. They answer "why" behind the numbers, so changes are informed rather than guessed.
A concrete example
A heatmap might reveal visitors never scroll far enough to see a key offer. Moving that offer higher — a change the heatmap suggested — can lift conversion without any guesswork.
