Examples of Eye Tracking – What Do Heat Maps Tell Us?


QuickTime 7 Required


In this movie, we can follow where the viewer’s eyes went on each page they visited. By following the clicks and understanding the eye movement patterns, we can see which content was actually read, and which areas created confusion.

In this example, 80 B2C participants with purchasing intent were asked to perform a search and make reservations at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The video shows aggregate heat maps sliced at half second increments for a total duration of 5 seconds.

To demonstrate eye tracking analysis, we put our old Enquiro Research pages to the test, the pages which existed before www.enquiroresearch.com was developed. This is what we found.

Sample #1: Enquiro homepage

  • The “Enquiro Research” top navigation drop down box got significant focus (80 to 100 %) and “our research” option got 23 % of all clicks on the page.
  • The “Latest Research” section (lower right) got significant focus (80 to 100 %) and the “Enquiro eye tracking report II” whitepaper “more info” got 17 % of all clicks on the page.
  • 3 different contact us buttons or hyperlinks received 24 % of clicks on the page. Many of these “contact us” conversions came from participants who returned to the home page after visiting other pages on the site.
  • Clients are not finding a relevant path on our website to an “eye tracking research study” information section. They are clicking on anything that looks like it might focus on research.
