UX research, answered briefly.

What businesses ask before researching their visitors.

What is UX research?
UX research is the study of how real people use your website or app, and why they behave that way. It combines behaviour data such as heatmaps and session recordings with direct feedback from surveys, interviews and usability tests to find what blocks visitors from converting.
What do UX research services include?
Heatmap and scroll map analysis, session recording review, on-site surveys, customer interviews, moderated and unmoderated usability tests, mobile usability reviews, journey mapping and a prioritised findings report. It feeds our CRO audit and A/B testing.
How long does UX research take?
A focused study of one funnel typically takes two to four weeks, depending on traffic, the number of tests and how quickly participants can be recruited. Heatmap and recording analysis can begin as soon as tracking is installed and has collected enough visits.
How much does UX research cost in India?
Cost depends on the research methods, the number of participants, the pages or journeys studied and any tool licences. Search Savvy gives a fixed, transparent quote after a free UX review shows which methods will answer your questions.

What our UX research service includes.

Behaviour data to show what people do, and direct feedback to explain why.

Heatmaps and scroll maps

Click, tap and scroll behaviour on key pages, split by desktop and mobile.

Session recording analysis

Real visits reviewed for rage clicks, dead taps, loops and hesitation.

On-site surveys and polls

Short questions that capture intent, objections and missing information.

Moderated usability testing

Live sessions where real users attempt tasks on your site while we observe.

Unmoderated and remote tests

Task-based tests run remotely to reach more participants, faster.

Customer interviews

Conversations with buyers and lost prospects about how they decided.

Mobile UX review

Navigation, forms, speed and thumb reach checked on real handsets.

Journey mapping

The path from first search or ad to purchase mapped with pain points marked.

Findings report and roadmap

Evidence-backed issues ranked by severity and effort, with recommended fixes.

How we run UX research, in six steps.

Start with the questions, pick the lightest method that can answer them, and report only what the evidence supports.

  1. Research questions

    The business problems and decisions the research must inform are agreed first.

  2. Method selection

    Behaviour data, surveys and tests chosen to match your traffic and budget.

  3. Set-up and privacy

    Tools installed with consent rules and masking of sensitive form fields.

  4. Collect

    Recordings, heatmaps, survey replies and test sessions gathered over a planned period.

  5. Analyse

    Patterns coded across users and cross-checked against analytics, not single anecdotes.

  6. Report and recommend

    Findings, video clips and a ranked fix list presented in a live walkthrough.

Which UX research method answers which question.

Each method has a job. The best studies combine two or three.

MethodBest at answeringMain limitation
HeatmapsWhere do visitors click and stop scrolling?Shows what, not why
Session recordingsWhere do individual visitors get stuck?Time-consuming to review, needs sampling
On-site surveysWhat is missing or putting people off?Self-reported answers can be biased
Moderated usability testsWhy do people fail at key tasks?Small samples, higher cost per participant
Customer interviewsHow did buyers decide and what nearly stopped them?Relies on memory
A/B testingDoes a specific change lift conversions?Needs enough traffic, shows little about why

What UX research typically uncovers.

Problems that analytics alone rarely explain.

  • Unclear navigation

    Visitors cannot find pricing, services or contact details where they expect them.

  • Content that does not answer questions

    Key objections about cost, delivery or trust are left unanswered.

  • Dead taps and rage clicks

    Elements that look clickable but are not, or buttons that fail on mobile.

  • Form friction

    Confusing fields, hidden errors and unexpected requests for personal data.

  • Mismatched expectations

    Visitors from ads or AI answers land on pages that do not continue the story.

  • Trust gaps

    Missing proof, unclear policies or a design that feels unfinished at the key moment.

UX research for visitors who arrive from AI answers.

People coming from ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI Overviews often arrive informed and ready to act. See AI search optimization

  • Compare AI and other visitors

    We watch how visitors from AI referrals browse compared with search and ad traffic, using GA4 segments to select recordings.

  • Test the first screen

    Usability tasks check whether the page confirms what the answer promised and makes the next step clear.

  • Ask what they already knew

    Short surveys ask what visitors read before arriving, so pages fill real gaps instead of repeating the answer.

What does Search Savvy's UX research service include?

Search Savvy's UX research service includes heatmap and scroll map analysis, session recording review, on-site surveys, customer interviews, moderated and unmoderated usability tests, mobile usability review, journey mapping, and a findings report with a prioritised fix list and recommended A/B test ideas.

What is the difference between UX research and analytics?

Analytics measures what visitors do at scale, such as pages viewed and where they drop off. UX research explains why they behave that way, using observation and direct feedback. The two work best together: analytics finds the problem, and research reveals the cause.

How many users do I need for a usability test?

Usability tests usually reveal most major problems with small groups, often five to eight participants per audience segment, because the same issues repeat. Larger samples suit surveys and A/B tests, which measure how often something happens rather than why.

What is the difference between heatmaps and session recordings?

A heatmap combines the behaviour of many visitors on one page to show where they click, tap and scroll. A session recording replays one visitor's journey step by step. Heatmaps show patterns, while recordings reveal the specific confusion behind them.

Which tools do you use for UX research?

We use tools such as Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar and similar platforms for heatmaps, recordings and surveys, and remote testing platforms for usability sessions. We choose tools to fit your site, traffic, budget and consent set-up, and install them in accounts you own.

Are session recordings safe for visitor privacy?

They can be, when set up carefully. We mask sensitive fields such as payment and password inputs, exclude private pages, apply consent rules and keep retention short. Your legal team should confirm your obligations under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and GDPR.

Can you do UX research on a low-traffic website?

Yes. Low traffic limits A/B testing, but not usability tests, interviews or expert reviews, which need only a few participants. Heatmaps and recordings simply take longer to collect enough visits, so we plan the study period to match your traffic.

What will I receive at the end of UX research?

You will receive a findings report with screenshots and video clips, a list of usability issues ranked by severity and effort, recommended fixes, and test ideas for A/B experiments. We present it in a live walkthrough so your team can ask questions and agree next steps.
