A heatmap is a data visualization feature that businesses can use to highlight key insights in a report. For instance, it can visually represent values, such as the largest to the smallest, using color gradients (e.g., dark blue to light blue). In Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you can create a custom report to show which cities in Canada drive the most website traffic and use the heatmap feature to emphasize the results.
