Session recording is a part of experience optimization, an essential practice for creating a pixel-perfect and well-performing website. It offers you the ability to understand the user’s entire journey on the site, including clicks, scrolls, mouse movements. It gives you deep behavioral insights.
If your objective is to improve the conversion rate around the checkout process, you should segment user sessions by those who engage with the checkout flow but do not convert.
One of the most influential advantages of using session recordings is that it helps you understand a customer journey from the first interaction with a website until the time the user exits the site. You can map out the purchasing process, capture every aspect of how people interact with your site, and investigate the visitor’s behavior in a more nuanced manner.
For example, our customer has filtered session recordings by the geo-location (he has chosen Spain), and the user’s actions (in this case, web store abandons). It has allowed him to collect only sessions completed by customers from Spain who have abandoned a website right after the first or second interaction.
Define Where a Customer Faces an Issue in Your Funnel
Watching filtered user sessions, you can identify areas that make your potential customers bounce off. It also allows you to understand which interactions might cause user frustration and define specific elements on your website that confuse or mislead your prospect. With this valuable information, you can plan a better UI and improve customer experience. It will also lead to increased conversions.
