You’ve invested in creating great products, optimized your online store, and even driven traffic through ads and promotions. Yet, the sales numbers for your best products don’t match expectations. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many D2C brands and e-commerce stores face the same frustration: products with potential fail to perform. The real question is—why?
The answer often isn’t the product itself, but how shoppers engage with your website. This is where onWork.ai’s heatmaps reveal the real picture..
The Hidden Problem: Shoppers Aren’t Noticing What You’re Selling
Most online store owners assume that if traffic is coming in, products should naturally sell. But in reality, traffic doesn’t always equal conversions. Visitors might be landing on your site, scrolling past your key products, or getting distracted by less important elements.
That means your bestsellers may not even be getting the attention they deserve. Without visibility into shopper behavior, you’re left guessing:
- Are customers even seeing the product section?
- Do they click on product images or skip them?
- Are distractions like banners or popups pulling attention away?
How Heatmaps Uncover Shopper Attention
Heatmaps are a visual analytics tool that show where visitors click, scroll, and spend time on your website. Instead of relying only on numbers in a dashboard, heatmaps give you a clear, color-coded picture of shopper engagement.
With onWork.ai’s heatmaps, you can:
- See click patterns: Identify which areas of your product pages are actually getting clicks.
- Track scroll depth: Understand how far down the page shoppers go before they drop off.
- Spot engagement gaps: Pinpoint ignored CTAs, overlooked banners, or product sections that never get noticed.
This simple visualization can reveal why products with high potential aren’t converting because shoppers might not even be interacting with them.
Real Scenarios Where Heatmaps Help
Here are common situations D2C brands face where heatmaps provide answers:
- Hero banner steals the spotlight
Shoppers get stuck on your homepage banner and never scroll to see featured products. - Cluttered layout hides bestsellers
Too many elements compete for attention, pushing your top products out of focus. - CTA buttons are misplaced
“Add to Cart” or “Buy Now” buttons may be positioned where shoppers aren’t clicking. - Mobile shoppers miss key sections
On smaller screens, important product showcases may be buried below the fold.

Knowing where attention breaks is the first step to fixing it. onWork.ai empowers you to make changes backed by real shopper data:
- Rearrange page layouts so high-priority products are impossible to miss.
- Refine design elements to reduce distractions.
