The use of Hotjar is vital to analyze landing pages and user experience. It also helps you understand what your customers are doing, which content engages them most often on these pages - for example: if one specific passage appears more than others do then that might mean there should be an extra emphasis placed upon it when writing new copy or messages in future pushes from our team! The heat map reveals where people spend their time interacting with the site so this information could very well help us identify certain areas worth focusing marketing efforts; All of these features helps us to generate more conversions for our clients.

I recommend Hotjar as a ten rating because it's very easy to use, and has an intuitive user interface. The heatmaps are also pretty self-explanatory so you can easily see what actions your audience is performing on each page of the site or app that leaves them with no question about how people interact within their experience from start (or end) until completion--whether they're clicking around aimlessly looking at products while waiting in line somewhere. I recommend Hotjar as a 10 rating because it is very easy to use, has plugins for Google Tag Manager and WordPress which makes implementing tracking code simple. Lastly, I like that I can give access alike anyone else - even those not yet an employee or client of mine.
