Goal: Heatmaps are useful tools to see where activity is happening on your site. The goal here is to create a new heatmap for a page on your site that will allow you to monitor where and how often visitors are clicking. This data can give you insight into where on your website the most interest and activity is occurring, and where it could be improved.
