VisitorID uses reverse IP lookup to identify the companies visiting your site and provides you with contact information, including names, emails, and phone numbers.
This effectively doubles or triples the number of leads that can be obtained from your existing web traffic.

Be aware that you will need to select to receive an email either daily or weekly in order to receive email VisitorID email notifications. This does not affect other automation notifications.
When enabled, these emails detail the following:
- The Receive emails about web prospects for my company option sends emails at a specific frequency about available prospective tracked leads that you should consider investigating.
- The Receive emails about web prospects for my clients option sends emails at a specific frequency to you about available prospective tracked leads for your clients that both you and your clients should consider investigating.
Note: Lead Gen & CRM users that have not opened an email or logged into the application for 180 days will have their system notifications suppressed. This includes VisitorID, billing, and automation-based notifications.
Important: As the internet evolves, anonymous visitor tracking has become less reliable. Lead Gen & CRM is placing greater emphasis on returning relevant leads by omitting anonymous visitor activity in VisitorID emails. You can still review anonymous visitor activity on the VisitorID page.

You can enter blocklist information and exclude a domain from VisitorID results.
To exclude domains, do the following:
- Click Settings in the left toolbar.

Leads with a tracked device will continue to show in VisitorID when they visit a tracked page of your site.
Unknown leads from the blocklisted domain will not appear until the point at which they become tracked.
Note: Domains match from right to left (example.com would match blog.example.com), and IP addresses match from left to right (127.0 would match 127.0.127.127). Clicking Delete will remove the item from your list of exclusions.
Segmenting by Site
