How can understanding visual hierarchy enhance data-driven marketing strategies?

Understanding visual hierarchy lets marketers know which parts of a page grab the eye first, just like an attention mechanism in a neural network that focuses on important data. By mapping which elements people look at and how long they stay, marketers can test and refine layouts that match user expectations. This data‑driven approach shows, for example, that moving a call‑to‑action button higher in the visual flow increases clicks, so the next campaign can prioritize that placement. As a result, every design tweak is guided by measurable attention patterns, turning creative choices into predictable performance gains.
