Browser Recording: How to Record Every Browser Session on Your Site
It’s no secret that there’s value in knowing more about your customers.
From their contact information, all the way to their purchasing habits.
But, what if you could take it a step further and see exactly how your customers are interacting with your website? Both the ones who convert and the ones who don’t.
Here’s where browser recording (also known as session recording) can help. Let’s break it all down.
What is Browser Recording?
Browser recording allows you to record the browser screen of every one of your website visitors. This feature will allow you to see how your customers interact with your website.
For example, you could see a video playback of what customers do once they arrive at your homepage. Or what customers do once they have added a product to their cart.
The true value of browser recording comes when these recordings are used to make optimization decisions.
For example, the recordings might show that a specific webpage on your site is laid out in a confusing way. You can then use this knowledge to improve the design of this page and increase its conversion rate, increasing revenue even further.
Browser Recording for Customer Support
The value of browser recording doesn’t end there. This feature can be used for more than just marketing optimizations.
With the right session recording tool, you can use these recordings to provide better customer support to your users. Imagine being able to see exactly what your customer sees on your site while assisting them with any issues they might have. All done without remote software or having to connect to their device.
This process can effectively increase the quality of your customer support efforts and help you close support tickets faster.
After all, there are several ways in which providing good customer support can increase your company’s revenue.
Super-Powered Session Recording: CRM Integration
Even more value can be unlocked from session recordings when you combine them with a fully-featured CRM platform.
Picture this: a portal where you can easily see a customer’s session recordings plus all their information such as contact info, their previous orders, current subscriptions and more.
Imagine having all this data integrated into a CRM and communications platform where you can easily chat or email with your customer while viewing this data.
These integrated features can super-charge both your sales and customer support efforts.
