Case studies

It took Tomasz—the owner of web design agency NerdCow—only two weeks to identify why users weren’t converting on a client’s site. Once he identified the issues, he implemented changes that nearly tripled conversions. Here’s how.

Sara, the Customer Knowledge Manager at Spotahome, hosts legendary Hotjar parties where 20 Spotahome staff watch Hotjar session recordings to learn more about their users. 

John, the Sales Operations Manager at ClassHero, noticed sign-ups had dropped from 75% to 37%, a “terrifying” drop in his words. Here’s how he solved it.

Anna—head of acquisition at Vimcar—uses Hotjar to fix problems and grow leads. In her own words, “Hotjar makes it faster to optimize our conversion rates. It lets us stop guessing".

Luke—a Product Lead at Hussle —uses Hotjar to survey every churned user, spot revenue-damaging bugs, and ensure each new launch runs smoothly.

After spending 20 minutes watching Hotjar each morning, Andrew, Operations Director at Materials Market tripled his site’s conversion rate. Here’s how:

Gavin runs Yatter —a lead generation agency—that’s helped fashion brands, festivals, and football clubs improve their landing pages. Over the years, he’s built a black book of reliable tactics to enhance any page.

"Hotjar helps us map our client’s customer journey from a user’s perspective. We’re much more efficient in delivering value because of it."

“If we weren’t using Hotjar to identify onsite issues for our clients, we’d just be making random guesses.”

You need Hotjar. Its price is extremely competitive and getting to know your users is essential. It really is the number one tool I use.

“The main stakeholders in our business want to keep track of product performance. We use Hotjar Surveys to see how satisfied our customers are with our products, and we report the larger trends.”

Hotjar is a dream come true. It’s the answer to exactly what we were looking for. Now, we don’t have to guess; we can understand how users interact with our site. It’s like reading their minds.

“When our users have a better experience, it benefits our conversions and ROI as well. Hotjar helps me identify bottlenecks and deliver the experience people want when they visit our website."

"We started using Hotjar a while back. We tried it for free and liked it, so we purchased it. Today, we find that onboarding new employees with Hotjar is easier than any of the other analytics tools we use."

"Showing clients analytical numbers about what happened and where isn’t always enough. When I introduce Hotjar’s insights about 'why' shoppers behave certain ways, I see jaws drop and excitement build."

Hotjar makes the insights you have from Google Analytics visual and easier to understand—and it’s less time consuming to analyze this data and get some quick wins.

“I'm able to get a 30,000-foot view with Hotjar, whereas without it, I'm stuck on the ground, relying on Google Analytics and customer interviews to try to ascertain exactly how users use our product.”

What do you do when you see a sudden, massive drop in conversions from your signup page—and you have no idea why?

When this happened to Audiense, they turned to Hotjar.

Despite all the tools we use to measure traffic, we didn’t really know what people were doing on our website or how they were using our product.

“We love Hotjar’s Incoming Feedback because it gives us instant feedback from our clients' shoppers. It doesn’t interrupt the checkout flow, and allows us to fully understand the experience in real-time."

Hotjar helped us identify two major barriers to conversion. Addressing these issues allowed us to increase revenue by 60%.
