When considering your explainer video, which you&#8217;ve dedicated time and effort to creating, its placement becomes crucial. Even the most exceptional explainer video loses its value if visitors struggle to locate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the ideal placement, I recommend<a href=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/using-a-b-testing-to-improve-website-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> experimenting with different versions <\/a>with the help of heatmaps. <a href=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/guides\/ultimate-guide-to-heatmaps-everything-you-need-to-know-about-website-heatmaps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heatmaps provide a valuable tool<\/a> for finding the perfect spot for your videos. Try out various locations and observe where your video garners the most clicks.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/placement-of-videos.png\" alt=\"Placement of explainer videos.\" class=\"wp-image-7626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/placement-of-videos.png 1024w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/placement-of-videos-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/placement-of-videos-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In many instances, if only a few individuals are clicking on your video, it may not be the fault of the explainer video itself. Rather, it could be attributed to its placement in an unexpected area on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heatmaps also serve as a useful means to identify any issues with your video. For instance, you can detect if people encounter difficulties playing it. If you&#8217;re keen on understanding the precise happenings, employing a<a href=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/guides\/the-basics-of-session-replays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> session replay tool <\/a>can be incredibly beneficial. By tracking each individual user on your site, you can pinpoint any problems surrounding your video.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhancing the user experience by analyzing heatmaps and employing session replay tools not only aids in optimizing the placement of your explainer video but also ensures that it functions seamlessly for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Measure_the_Effectiveness_Of_Your_Explainer_Video\"><\/span><strong>How To Measure the Effectiveness Of Your Explainer Video?\u00a0<\/strong><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring the effectiveness of your explainer videos is crucial, and web analytics tools can be your valuable allies in this endeavor. They enable you to gather insightful data about your website, such as page views and sessions, which provide key indicators of video performance. By analyzing the average session length, you can draw conclusions regarding the number of people who actually watched your videos.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this scenario: If you have a three-minute video on a page, but the average session length for that particular page is just one minute, there is a strong likelihood that the majority of visitors did not watch the video. This insight can prompt you to reassess the placement or presentation of your video to capture and engage your audience effectively.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another valuable aspect that web analytics tools offer is the ability to differentiate between various traffic sources. For instance, if you observe that the number of clicks on your video from mobile devices is relatively low, it suggests that your video may lack mobile-friendly or responsive features. Understanding this information empowers you to optimize your video&#8217;s appearance and functionality across different platforms, ensuring a seamless viewing experience for all users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/optimization-of-explainer-videos.png\" alt=\"Analyzing a video's performance with the help of heatmaps.\" class=\"wp-image-7627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/optimization-of-explainer-videos.png 1024w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/optimization-of-explainer-videos-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/optimization-of-explainer-videos-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measuring explainer video performance with the help of events<\/strong><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A highly effective method for measuring the performance of your explainer videos is by <a href=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/features\/event-analytics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">setting events.<\/a> By implementing event tracking, you can capture specific user actions, such as clicking on a video.
