CrazyEgg -- Yay or Nay?

2 replies
I have been looking for a proper tracking tool.

I'm now using Google Analytics + GetClicky. I was wondering if I should get CrazyEgg since its heatmap feature is so attractive.

Any experienced warriors recommend this software in terms of tracking and to know about how your squeeze page, and sales funnel is doing?

    A heat map isn't going to help you evaluate how your squeeze page and sales funnel is doing. It just tells you where people are looking/clicking on that one page. I think it's more suited to deciding the layout of the CNN homepage than optimizing squeeze pages.

    While it's important to understand how your landing pages are used, unless you've already optimized every other aspect of your sales funnel, you'll probably get more by optimizing the quality of the traffic coming in (testing which ads and demographic/geographic targeting settings give you the best ROI), the best landing pages for each of those sources (through A/B testing significantly different pages), and whatever lead nurturing you're doing.

    Proper tracking tools and testing tools that'll give you more bang for your buck? Check out Improvely (shameless plug), Unbounce for building lots of landing pages easily, or Optimizely if you want to easily tweak and run tests without making new pages. Add on Intercom.io to keep track of influencers among your new users so you can reach out to them personally.

    To OP:
    If you are interested in a "heat map," what don't you like about Google Analytic's On page analytics? (found by navigating ....Standard Reporting>Content>In-Page Analytics)

    It tells you where the clicks are.
