Hotjar integration

Your numbers say a page underperforms. Hotjar's recordings and on-page surveys tell you why, in the visitor's own clicks and their own words.

Why connect it

Why Hotjar and LanderLab

  • Recordings of real paid visits

    Watch how visitors from your ads move through the page, with the hesitation and the back-and-forth a heatmap can't show.

  • Ask visitors why they didn't convert

    Hotjar Surveys put a question on the page, like what stopped you, and the answers come in the visitor's own words.

  • Quiz events Hotjar can filter by

    Send Hotjar an event from the quiz's JS Code tab on submit or at a step, then filter recordings by it or trigger a survey with it.

  • Capture only the sessions that matter

    Hotjar can start capturing sessions when an event fires, so the recordings you keep are the ones you'll actually watch.

  • Next to LanderLab's heatmaps

    LanderLab keeps doing the counting and the heatmaps; Hotjar adds the recordings and the words behind them.

Hotjar on your landing pages

LanderLab shows you clicks, scroll depth and rage and dead clicks for every variant without another tool. Hotjar is for the questions those maps raise. Connect Hotjar and its tracking code runs on your live LanderLab page, recording the visits your ads send and opening the door to surveys that ask visitors what they were looking for.

It suits teams that want qualitative answers next to their numbers: a lead gen shop rewriting a quiz, a brand testing a new advertorial angle, a B2B team trying to learn why demo pages get visits but few requests.

Hotjar recordings on your landing pages

Connect Hotjar and its tracking code runs on your live LanderLab page. Hotjar records the visits your ads send, so you see the page the way paid visitors use it, not the way it looks in the editor: the copy they reread, the field they skip and come back to, the moment they reach for the back button.

Ask why with Hotjar Surveys

A recording shows what happened; a survey asks why. Hotjar's on-page surveys can ask a visitor what they were looking for, what stopped them or what they'd need to know before getting a quote. A dozen answers often explain a weak page faster than a week of split testing.

Hotjar's Events API can trigger a survey from your own code, so a quiz can ask a question at the step where most people leave, while they're still there.

See how far people read, then why they stop

Advertorials and long sales pages put the form well down the page. LanderLab's scroll depth tells you how far visitors get before they leave. Hotjar's recordings of the sessions that stop short, and a survey placed just above that point, tell you whether the copy lost them or the offer did.

If they stop above the form, move it up or cut the section that loses them, then compare the variants in LanderLab.

Check the phone version too

Most paid social traffic arrives on a phone. A page that reads well on a laptop can push its button below a tall image on a small screen, and the mobile recordings show where thumbs actually land and where they give up.

Use cases

Ways to use Hotjar on paid traffic

  • 01

    Debt relief advertorials on native traffic

    Readers leave halfway down. Hotjar recordings show them stalling at a block of fine print, and a one-question survey confirms they wanted the fee up front. The next variant leads with it.

  • 02

    An insurance quiz on Facebook

    An event at the vehicle step triggers a short survey for visitors who linger, and their answers show the year dropdown is missing older cars.

  • 03

    B2B demo pages from LinkedIn

    Plenty of visits, few requests. A survey asking what's missing returns the same answer from several visitors: pricing. The next variant adds a price range, and LanderLab's reports judge it on requests.

FAQ

Hotjar integration FAQ

Anything not here, ask us.

Hotjar and LanderLab

Does LanderLab integrate with Hotjar?

Yes. Hotjar is built into LanderLab: connect it and its tracking code runs on your live pages, with nothing to paste.

Do I need Hotjar for heatmaps on my landing pages?

No. LanderLab has heatmaps built in: clicks, scroll depth, rage and dead clicks for each variant. Hotjar adds session recordings and on-page surveys.

Can Hotjar show me what happens inside my quiz?

Yes. Recordings follow the visitor through the quiz, and events sent from the quiz's JS Code tab let you filter them by step or by submit.

Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity?

Both work with LanderLab. Clarity is free and filters recordings by UTM; Hotjar adds on-page surveys and feedback. Some teams run Clarity for recordings and Hotjar for surveys.

Can I trigger a Hotjar survey from my quiz?

Yes. Hotjar's Events API can trigger surveys, and the quiz's JS Code tab can send the event at the step you choose.

Is Hotjar worth adding to my landing pages?

When the numbers say a page underperforms and the heatmaps don't say why, yes: recordings and a one-question survey usually do.
