How IP based Lead generation tools work?

Traditional IP-based lead generation tools work by identifying website visitors through their IP addresses. When a visitor lands on a website, their IP address is captured automatically. The tool checks the IP address against databases like WHOIS, ISP records, and third-party data providers to match it with company details. If the IP address is linked to a business, the tool provides information such as company name, location, industry, and sometimes employee details. Some tools enhance data by combining it with CRM integrations, social media, or contact databases to give sales teams actionable insights.

Many visitors use VPNs, proxies, or mobile networks, making IP tracking unreliable. Growing regulations (like GDPR) restrict the collection and storage of IP-based data. Small businesses, remote workers, and individual users often have dynamic or shared IPs, can not be identify with IP based lead generation tool.
