Website Visitor Identification
The process of identifying anonymous visitors to a website by matching them to known contact information.
Definition
Website visitor identification is a technology and process that reveals the identity of anonymous website visitors. While most visitors browse websites without filling out forms or creating accounts, visitor identification tools can match these anonymous sessions to real people or companies using various data matching techniques. This transforms unknown traffic into actionable leads for sales and marketing teams.
Why It Matters
97% of website visitors leave without ever identifying themselves. Without visitor identification, businesses lose the vast majority of potential leads from their website traffic. By identifying these visitors, companies can follow up with interested prospects, personalize their outreach, and dramatically increase the ROI of their marketing efforts.
Examples
- A SaaS company identifies a VP of Sales viewing their pricing page and reaches out with a personalized demo offer
- An e-commerce brand identifies cart abandoners and sends targeted email campaigns
- A B2B company discovers which accounts are researching their solution before formal RFP
