Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics was especially effective in identifying returning visitors from existing customer accounts. This allowed me to proactively reach out, understand their interests based on web activity, and successfully expand the scope of services they were already purchasing. It's less appropriate for brand-new lead generation, as it doesn’t capture anonymous traffic without prior engagement or recognizable IP data.

WhatUsersDo
If you want to watch a user journey through your website with commentary, this tool is the perfect one to use, even if it does take quite a few hours for responses. I think if you want to test specific functions, quickly, there are better tools for doing this. Reviewers are very honest and can be quite harsh, so you need to have an open mind to criticism, as what they say is very useful.

Pros
Lead Forensics
  • Lead Forensics helps us see which companies are visiting our site, even if they don’t fill out a form. This gives us a chance to reach out to businesses that are already showing interest but might not have contacted us yet.
  • Instead of cold-calling random prospects, we can see which pages a company has viewed and how often they return. This helps us tailor our conversations based on what they’re actually interested in.
  • The Lead Forensics support team has been great whenever we’ve had questions. They’re quick to respond and always ready to help, whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering advice on how to get the most out of the platform.

Cons
Lead Forensics
  • Better updates on companies' current names. Often if a company was a different company years ago it still says the old company name which is confusing.
  • Better identifying the correct location. Sometimes it seems like that the location coming up is the wrong location.
  • Giving a better understanding of how they got to the website would help too. Often is says "direct" but I would like to know if it was via a link from an email or what

WhatUsersDo
  • Some reviewers can spend too little time on a test
  • Their audio box can sometimes hide features, like navigation bars
  • It would be useful to be able to specify in more detail the demographic you would like to test

Usability
Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics dashboard is fantastic. Lets me see what companies are hitting what parts of the website so I know what to offer them. Often times I’ll offer one thing, only to get told no. Then the client goes to the website and pokes around at other things we offer. Then they reach out to me asking about different services, or next time I reach out I can offer what they were looking at.

Lead Forensics
[Their] support is great, [whether] you call or send in an email. They are always friendly and willing to help. Anytime I can’t figure something out and need to reach out, I always get a response back quick[ly] - and they will always offer to go in and make the change, but I like when they show me so I can do it next time.

We used to use Visual Visitor. This would give us an email every time someone visited our website. This would give all the information like Lead Forensics does but in a smaller quantity. It used to not integrate with WIX but now it does. We selected Lead Forensics because we saw our site activity was high & wanted to see who was on the site and because of WIX

WhatUsersDo
WhatUsersDo provides more detailed and opinion based responses. It can take a few hours more than competitors because of this. I would recommend it if you want to know more about the user journey through your website. I would not recommend it if you want quick feedback about a specific feature, image or copy, as there are tools better suited to this.

Return on Investment
Lead Forensics
  • We are still in the very early stages of using Lead Forensics for our agency, but I can see that it could already be very useful to us as we haven't had insights like this previously.
  • Our very first use case with Lead Forensics was with a brand-new client and I would say it went exceptionally well. We were running a large media campaign for them, and it was very insightful to see how those specific businesses were getting to the site and what page they were going to. Like mentioned previously, this helped their very small sales team to go after businesses they know were interested in them.

WhatUsersDo
  • It has helped us to improve our website copy to see how much users understood about our service and what was memorable about it.
  • We have changed the information given on certain pages, as we realised users' opinions about our company became more positive after visiting secondary pages. So for example, we moved project examples to the homepage.
  • We realised that our website did not load properly when using an Internet Explorer browser, so made corrections to this.
