Identity resolution sounds complex. With WebID +Person, it becomes a practical way to identify real people behind anonymous visits and re-engage them before they disappear for good.Visual-Visitor-Keywords.
What Identity Resolution Really Means
Most teams see abandoned carts, bounced product views, and half-finished forms as lost opportunities. In reality, they are signals from real people you simply cannot see yet. Identity resolution is the process of connecting those signals to an actual individual profile that you can recognize and reach again.
In plain terms, identity resolution answers two questions:
- Who is this visitor who showed interest but did not convert?
- How do we reach them again in a way that feels relevant, timely, and respectful?
WebID +Person is Visual Visitor’s identity resolution engine built to answer those questions for both B2C and B2B teams.
How WebID +Person Turns Anonymous Visitors Into Real People
WebID +Person takes fragmented, anonymous web activity and connects it to real consumer or buyer profiles at scale. It combines a very large contact database with big data and AI to triangulate identity, then delivers clean, usable contact records back to you.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
- WebID +Person can currently identify about 30–40% of U.S. traffic, turning a significant share of anonymous visitors into known individuals.
- For each resolved visitor, you receive first name, last name, and email address, plus up to 37 additional attributes that describe who they are and what they did.
- Those attributes span personal, work, and behavioral dimensions, giving your marketing and sales teams a complete picture they can act on immediately.
Instead of just knowing “someone from mobile looked at a product page,” you now know which person, where they work (for B2B), and exactly how they found you.
The Data WebID +Person Gives You
The power of WebID +Person lies in the depth and usability of its data. It does not stop at basic contact fields.
For each identified visitor, you can see:
- Core identity: first name, last name, email address, and often additional emails associated with that person
- Personal attributes: gender, age range, marital status, homeownership, and other consumer-level details depending on the profile
- Work attributes: company, job title, phone number, company website, and related professional details useful for B2B outreach
- “How did they find me?” signals: traffic source, keywords used, campaign name and medium, pages visited, and time spent on site
This combination lets you understand not only who the visitor is but also what they cared about and how far they got before dropping off. That context is essential for effective re-engagement.
Re-Engaging Visitors You Thought You Lost
Once WebID +Person resolves who the visitor is, you can move from guessing to intentional follow-up. This is where identity resolution turns into revenue recovery.
Effective re-engagement typically follows a simple pattern:
- Capture abandoned interest: Use WebID +Person data to identify people who abandoned carts, left product pages, or ended searches abruptly.
- Personalize outreach: Create email sequences and campaigns that reference the category, product type, or content they engaged with, not just a generic “come back” note.
- Automate the flow: Connect WebID +Person to your email or marketing platform so resolved visitors are automatically added to relevant lists and journeys via connectors and integrations.
Because the underlying identity data is accurate and fresh, these messages feel timely and relevant instead of random. That is what increases open rates and recaptures revenue.
WebID +Person and Email Marketing Automation
Email automation is one of the highest-ROI channels for recovering abandoned interest. WebID +Person is designed to drop directly into that workflow.
When you combine WebID +Person with your email tools:
- You can automatically enroll newly identified visitors into welcome, abandonment, win-back, or browse-recovery flows that match their behavior.
- You can segment campaigns by key attributes, such as product category viewed, traffic source, or job title, so content feels tailored rather than mass-produced.
- You can keep your lists fresh and high quality, because WebID +Person continually feeds new, engaged contacts who have already shown clear interest in your brand.
The result is a list built from real behavior, not just giveaways or generic sign-ups, which tends to perform much better over time.
Why Identity Resolution with WebID +Person is Different
Many tools talk about identity, but they stop at IP-based company lookup or basic cookie tracking. WebID +Person goes beyond that, especially for mixed B2C and B2B environments.
There are a few key differences that matter:
- Person-first resolution: WebID +Person identifies individuals, not just organizations or IP ranges, which is critical for abandoned carts, consumer journeys, and remote workers.
- Depth of attributes: With up to 40 attributes per visitor, you can build rich segments and highly targeted campaigns instead of broad, guesswork-based messaging.
- Ecosystem fit: WebID +Person sits inside the broader Visual Visitor platform, which already includes WebID visitor tracking, email tracking, buyer intent data, and connectors into popular tools.
This makes identity resolution a natural extension of the data you already use, rather than a disconnected add-on.
Where WebID +Person Fits in Your Funnel
WebID +Person is most valuable wherever you see “leakage” in your funnel and do not know who you are losing. Common use cases include:
- E‑commerce abandonment flows: when carts or product views go unconverted, and you need identity to power personalized recovery
- Lead and content abandonment: when visitors start forms, resource views, or pricing exploration but leave before converting
- Repeat visitor recognition: when known but unlogged visitors return on different devices or from different channels, and you want to stitch together their journeys
Each time WebID +Person fills in the “who” behind these behaviors, you gain another chance to re-engage and move that visitor closer to purchase.
