Paul was introduced to Hotjar during the Beta release and was immediately intrigued. Implementation took only 5 minutes, and the team at StudentCrowd began reviewing session replays within seconds. They proceeded to watch every video, successful reviews, half completed reviews, and reviews that never were started.

3 problems were identified immediately:

1. Students were spending over 10 seconds scrolling through universities on mobile.
2. Students significantly struggled to answer 2 parts of the review criteria.
3. On certain mobile devices, the [Submit Review] button was not visible.

The total time from identifying these issues to pushing the fixes live was less than 2 hours.

These small changes brought about a dramatic improvement. The review form starting converting at 15%, which was a 55% increase!!

The Key Takeaway

Small iterations can make massive improvements. This example showcases how making changes based on data doesn't need to take countless hours and significant budget. With only 2 hours of work Paul and his team were able to sky rocket their results well above what they were previously seeing.

Our thumbs up to StudentCrowd!
