Anonymous visitors
Opt-in tracking for visitors who land on your site without a tracked link. See aggregate behavior, watch live, and optionally run AI on the sessions.
What it does
Anonymous tracking captures sessions from visitors who land on your site without a tracked link or merge-tag URL. You won't know their name or email, but you'll get:
- A stable per-browser visitor id (stored in
localStorage, scoped to your workspace). - The pages they viewed, in order.
- A full session replay, with the same masking rules as identified sessions.
- Optionally, country / region / city if visitor location is on.
- Optionally, an AI summary of intent and a suggested next step.
It's opt-in for a reason: most LeadLens workspaces only care about named contacts. Turn this on when you want a fuller picture of who's poking around your site.
Turning it on
Head to /settings, open the Tracking tab, and flip Track anonymous visitors. Two related toggles live there too:
- Analyze anonymous sessions. Runs AI on every ended anonymous session. Off by default — anonymous traffic volume is usually higher and AI bills add up fast.
- Location for anonymous visitors. Adds country / region / city to those sessions. See Visitor location.
Where to find them
Once the feature is on, an Anonymous tab appears on /people next to the Identified contacts list. From there you can:
- Sort by recent activity, session count, or first-seen date.
- Click any visitor to open their detail page with the full session history and replays.
- Watch their session live from /live — anonymous rows are marked with an
Anonpill.
What you'll see vs. an identified contact
| Identified contact | Anonymous visitor | |
|---|---|---|
| Name + email | Yes | No |
| Pageviews | Yes | Yes |
| Session replay | Yes | Yes |
| Live view | Yes | Yes |
| Country / region / city | If geo on | If geo on |
| AI insight | Auto by default | Only if "Analyze anonymous" is on |
| Intent score on People list | Yes | No (single per-visit insight only) |
Turning a visitor into a contact
If an anonymous visitor later clicks a tracked link, fills in a form behind a merge-tag URL, or otherwise identifies, their future sessions land under the new contact. The earlier anonymous sessions stay on the anonymous record — we don't retroactively re-link the history, to keep the data model honest.
