Only a sixth (16%) of respondents have heatmaps or session replays for their website. Just 14% have chatbots on their site, 12% use A/B testing, and a mere 4% integrate with personalization tools.
Even at enterprise companies that have more resources, only 28% A/B test their website and 8% integrate with personalization platforms. Poor conversion performance accounts for just 3% of enterprise rebrands.
