Separate crawler activity from potential customers.
Treat crawler classification as a useful signal, not proof of identity. A repeated page, city, or browser does not establish whether two records belong to one crawler or two different people.
Start with the classification
VisitorPing separates human, crawler, and unclassified sessions. Known crawler labels are based on detected signals; likely crawler labels express uncertainty. Unclassified traffic should not automatically be counted as human.
Compare human sessions and human hot leads separately from crawler activity. A human session still does not confirm a sales opportunity: inspect the page journey and your configured lead rules.
Understand repeated records
The same crawler can repeatedly open a page with fresh browser storage and receive a new tracking identity each time. A new visitor number is a different stored record, not necessarily a new person or crawler.
The live list can group similar crawler sessions within five-minute windows. Expand the group to inspect individual records. Grouping changes presentation; it does not merge identities.
Know what filtering changes
Crawler page views remain visible. Background telemetry such as scroll, duration, visibility, and Web Vitals is filtered for known or likely bots to reduce unnecessary collection.
Missing crawler engagement is not evidence of zero engagement. Use human-classified traffic for engagement comparisons, and remember that classification can be imperfect.
Choose an action based on evidence
If traffic grows but human activity does not, investigate crawler volume before attributing the increase to a campaign. If interested human visits grow, inspect which pages and tagged sources they use.
Do not identify a company or individual from a city or browser label. Network-derived company information and locations are approximate context.
