| description | Design website visitor identification and deanonymization programs — company vs person-level ID, vendor selection (Clearbit/Breeze, RB2B, 6sense, etc.), privacy guardrails (GDPR/CCPA operational), Slack alert triage, and ICP routing to MQL or outbound triggers. Use when implementing visitor ID, reverse-IP reveal, intent data, or person-level LinkedIn visitor tracking. Triggers on: "visitor identification", "deanonymization", "website intent", "Clearbit Reveal", "RB2B", "who visited our website", "reverse IP", "WebSights", "Leadfeeder", "visitor ID privacy". |

Website Visitor Identification
Overview
Most B2B sites convert 2–3% of traffic to forms — the rest looks like dark
traffic. Visitor identification (deanonymization) recovers company or
person signals from anonymous sessions. The mistake: buying RB2B or 6sense
before deciding identification level, running person-level ID on EU traffic
without privacy review, or routing every alert to SDRs without an ICP filter.
This skill is the canonical home for visitor ID strategy: person vs business
decision tree, vendor comparison (Clearbit/Breeze, RB2B, 6sense, Demandbase,
ZoomInfo WebSights, Leadfeeder/Dealfront, Warmly, Koala, Factors.ai, Albacross),
privacy operational checklist (not legal advice), and GTM workflows from
website visit → MQL or guardrailed outbound trigger.
Frameworks Referenced
- HubSpot Breeze Intelligence (Clearbit heritage). Company Reveal on visit;
form enrichment for person + firmographics in HubSpot-native stacks.
- Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot). Visitor ID instruments the Attract stage of
the inbound flywheel — permission-based follow-up after self-directed research.

- Chris Walker (Refine Labs). Visitor ID is the measurable counterpart
to dark social — pair with
content-marketing and attribution, not replace them.
Pattern 26 + 20.
- Scott Brinker — MarTech consolidation. One company-ID owner + at most one
person-ID vendor until utilization proves ROI (
revops-tech-stack).
- Winning by Design Bowtie. Visitor ID instruments the acquisition stage.
- SiriusDecisions Demand Waterfall. Intent signals feed MQL definitions —
coordinate with
inbound-triage.
When to Use
- "Identify companies visiting our website"
- "Set up Clearbit Reveal / Breeze Intelligence"
- "RB2B vs Warmly vs Koala"
- "Person-level vs company-level visitor ID"
- "Website intent data program"
- "GDPR / CCPA for visitor deanonymization" (operational — not legal counsel)
- "Slack alerts for website visitors"
- "Route visitor intent to sales"
Prerequisites
- ICP defined (
icp-scoring)
- CRM with account + contact model
- Consent management for EU traffic ()
