Every gap comes with the proof behind it

Behind each finding Spar stacks the evidence it read to get there: a behavior metric from your analytics, a Clarity session recording of it happening, and the theme your customers keep raising in their reviews. You can point to the proof.

“Loved the product but the shipping at checkout was almost double what I expected. Felt like a bait and switch.”

Verified review, theme: Shipping confusion

Three kinds of evidence

What Spar reads before it flags anything

The audit pulls from three places at once. The numbers tell you where conversion leaks, the recordings show how it plays out, and the reviews tell you why in your customers' own words. Each one covers a blind spot the others have.

Analytics

Google Analytics

The numbers that show where behavior drops off.

  • Checkout completion and cart abandonment
  • Conversion rate by device and traffic source
  • Where sessions exit before they buy

Recordings

Microsoft Clarity

The session recordings that show how it happens.

  • Rage clicks and dead clicks on a page
  • Scroll depth and where attention stalls
  • The exact moment a shopper hesitates

Reviews

Reviews and feedback

The words customers use about what frustrates them.

  • Reviews pulled in from your review platform
  • Themes mined from what shoppers repeat
  • The complaint behind a low rating
When signals agree

One finding with multiple sources

On their own, a metric, a recording, and a review are each easy to wave away. When all three point at the same spot in the funnel, Spar merges them into a single finding and keeps every source attached to it.

Google Analytics

73% cart abandonment, well above this store's baseline

Microsoft Clarity

Replays show shoppers scrolling back to the shipping line before they leave

Customer reviews

A recurring Shipping confusion theme across recent reviews

Merged finding

Surprise shipping cost at the cart is driving abandonment. Surface the cost earlier so shoppers see it before they commit.

Scattered reviews become named themes

Spar reads through your reviews and feedback and groups what people repeat into themes it can act on. Each theme carries how often it came up and the sentiment behind it, so a stack of one-star reviews turns into a short list of the problems worth fixing.
