Real-time Slack/email/CRM alerts the moment a high-intent prospect lands on your site
Page-level intent tracking — see exactly what each visitor viewed and for how long
Investors include by Boost VC (early investors in Coinbase and Deepgram)

FAQ

What is website visitor identification?

Software that reveals the identity of anonymous people and companies visiting your website. Company-level tools identify the organisation via reverse IP lookup. Person-level tools identify the individual via cookie-based identity graphs, returning name, work email, and LinkedIn.

How accurate is website visitor identification?

Company-level resolves 30–65% of B2B traffic. Person-level resolves 5–20% of US traffic on standard tiers, up to 35–40% with premium waterfall resolution. Any vendor claiming 98% identification of total traffic is using the wrong denominator.

Deterministic vs. probabilistic enrichment?

Deterministic uses verified identifiers.. Probabilistic uses statistical inference. Best-in-class tools run deterministic first. Maverick Intelligence is deterministic.

How fast does visitor data need to be?

Industry research suggests sales teams responding within 5 minutes are significantly more likely to connect than those waiting a day. Tools refreshing on weekly cycles (Apollo) or daily batches (ZoomInfo) miss most of the high-intent window. Real-time is the difference between a hot lead and a cold one. Maverick Intelligence web visitor deanonymisation takes place within 5 minutes and usually under 60 seconds.

Which website visitor identification tool is best?

For person-level identification with real-time data refresh, campaign-level ad attribution across Google/Meta/LinkedIn, and native CRM integration without a six-figure annual minimum, Maverick Intelligence.
