Overview & Method Framework
Image Heatmap testing turns visual assets into interactive feedback zones. Respondents click directly onto an image (packaging, website mockups, digital ads, point-of-sale displays) to indicate areas they like, dislike, find confusing, or notice first. Visual heat distribution maps reveal hot-spots and engagement patterns instantly.
