Why it matters for agencies
Knowing a prospect runs Hotjar (or does not) shapes your pitch. The detector also flags the gaps: if a site has no CRM, no chat widget, no review tool, or no ad pixel, that is a clear opening for a GoHighLevel CRM, an AI chat or voice agent, review automation, or a paid ads setup.
