Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I getting a lot of website traffic but very few leads?
Many businesses investing in paid media see strong traffic numbers but low conversions because a significant portion of digital traffic can be low-intent or non-human activity. Bots, accidental clicks, and unqualified visitors can inflate traffic metrics without generating real business results.
Specificity helps address this challenge by identifying real website visitors and filtering out invalid traffic, giving marketers greater visibility into who is actually engaging with their campaigns. This allows companies to focus their budgets on reaching real, high-intent prospects who are more likely to convert.
Why are my Google Ads or Meta Ads attracting the wrong audience?
Paid media platforms typically optimize campaigns for engagement signals like clicks, impressions, and traffic volume, not necessarily qualified buyers. As a result, ads can reach users who are unlikely to convert, including low-intent visitors or even non-human traffic.
Specificity helps solve this by identifying real website visitors and filtering out invalid traffic, allowing marketers to refine targeting based on verified audience behavior and focus ad spend on people most likely to become customers.
How much ad traffic is actually bots?
Industry research estimates that up to 50% of digital advertising traffic may be invalid or non-human, depending on the platform and campaign configuration.
How can I reduce wasted ad spend in my campaigns?
Reducing wasted ad spend starts with identifying which traffic is real, high-intent buyers and which traffic is not. Many paid media campaigns attract bots, accidental clicks, or low-intent visitors that inflate traffic but never convert.
Specificity helps solve this problem by identifying real website visitors and filtering out invalid traffic before your budget is wasted. This allows marketers to focus campaigns on verified audiences who are more likely to convert, improving lead quality and overall return on ad spend.
Why do my campaigns get clicks but no conversions?
Clicks do not always indicate buying intent. Many campaigns attract users who are browsing casually or interacting accidentally. By analyzing visitor behavior and identifying meaningful audience signals, marketers can improve conversion rates and overall campaign performance.
What is website visitor identification?
Website visitor identification is a technology that helps marketers understand who is visiting their website, even if those visitors do not fill out a form. Instead of only seeing anonymous traffic metrics, businesses gain insights that help them build more targeted marketing campaigns and sales strategies.
How can I turn anonymous website visitors into leads?
Most website visitors leave without converting. Specificity helps identify real visitors and re-engage them with targeted campaigns, turning anonymous traffic into qualified opportunities.
Can I see which companies are visiting my website?
Specificity helps identify business-related traffic signals from companies visiting your website, giving sales and marketing teams valuable insight into which organizations are showing interest so they can prioritize outreach and follow-up.
Can I target people who visited my competitors?
Yes. Specificity can build marketing audiences based on devices observed at relevant locations, including competitor locations. This allows brands to reach people who have already shown real-world interest in similar products or services.
What is geofencing in marketing?
Geofencing is a marketing technology that allows advertisers to deliver ads to mobile devices that enter a specific geographic area.
What is polygon targeting?
Polygon targeting is a more precise form of geofencing that uses exact location boundaries instead of radius-based targeting. This allows marketers to build audiences based on very specific physical locations such as individual buildings or venues.
Why does Specificity use polygon targeting instead of geofencing?
Traditional geofencing casts a wide net, often including large areas and many devices that have little to no relevance to your campaign. Polygon targeting allows us to define precise, custom boundaries around exact locations that matter to your business.
This means you’re reaching real people in the right places, not wasting budget on broad, less relevant audiences. The result is smarter targeting, higher-quality engagement, and more efficient performance overall.
