What exactly is a heatmap?
Heatmaps are a feature of the Solink platform that allow you to see the highest and lowest traffic areas of your business. You’ll be able to see a visual representations of the places where the highest density of people have been during a long period of time, helping give you a clearer picture of how the layout impacts business flow and your clients.
How does a heatmap help your business?
Now that you know what heatmaps are, you may be wondering why they are important for your business and how they could help simplify your daily tasks. Here are just some of the benefits of heatmaps.
Heatmaps identify ‘dead’ zones / low traffic areas to improve business flow:
When you look at your heatmap, you may realize that there is an entire corner of your business that has little-to-no traffic. If your merchandise is in a place where customers don’t go, they won’t have an opportunity to see it. If you want to sell more of your products, place them in high traffic areas.
Heatmaps help revitalize floor plans:
You may realize that there is something obstructing a path through your sales floor or dining room that doesn’t need to be there. Maybe a display or table is placed in a location that forces your clients to skip an entire display of high-ticket items. Using your heat map, you’ll not only be able to identify the problem, but actually track the improvements based on changes you make.

Heatmaps identify prime marketing locations:
No matter what kind of business you run, marketing is always going to play an important role. Knowing which areas have the highest traffic will help you identify the best places to place any sales, promotions, flyers, or important notices. You can also use these prime locations to place some of your stock that isn’t moving as quickly by getting more eyes on it.
