I have heatmaps on my analytics and I can see where everyone clicks. I'm unsure how to use this data to improve my website design though. What should I look for and what should I improve based on the data provided?

Yes, to put it as simple as possible, heatmaps show you where most of your visitors are hovering over or clicking on your site with their cursor. So if most of the hovering/click activity was happening on the right side of your site for the homepage, you could focus on improving that area of your site and of course, monetizing it if it's not already monetized in that area.
You say that you have "[i][b]heatmaps on my analytics[/b][/i]". I presume you're not talking about [b]Google Analytics[/b] as they don't provide a heatmap.
The Google Analytics tool will help you learn about the source of your websites traffic and the activity such as page views, conversions, bounce rate etc etc that are being taken on your website. It doesn't give you the answer of why your visitors are doing certain things. It wont show you the full story as the emphasis is on the numbers rather than the reasons. Basically it helps you to know the what but not the why. To find out why you'll need to dig deep into user behavior on your site by using features like touch heatmaps, user recordings and UI analysis reports.
So Google Analytics can be used to learn about the source of your traffic, where it's coming from, where its traveling to through your site, its bounce rate or conversions etc. But it doesn't tell you why your visitors are doing certain things and why they're hovering over certain places more than other places.
To learn that you will need to install a 3rd party script which GA doesn't provide right now. Some good tools to use to learn about insights such as that are UsabilityTools ([color=#000080]usabilitytools.com[/color]) which have been created specifically for it to show you how your sites visitors are behaving on your website and why they do certain actions. By using it you can track the clicks and movements of your websites visitors in more detail using different styles of heatmaps.
Other useful sites and that offer heatmap tools are:
[b]Crazy Egg[/b] ([color=#000080]crazyegg.com[/color])
[b]Hotjar[/b] ([color=#000080]hotjar.com[/color])
[b]ClickTale[/b] ([color=#000080]clicktale.com[/color])
[b]Mouseflow[/b] ([color=#000080]mouseflow.com[/color])
Hope this helps! :)
