Why are so many of my website visitors not in my ICP?

Updated this week

If you’re seeing a large number of visitors identified by RB2B that don’t match your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), that doesn’t mean RB2B is getting it wrong — it means RB2B is showing you the real picture of who is actually landing on your site.

RB2B identifies real, verified visitors. If they’re outside your ICP, the key question becomes: Why are these people finding your site in the first place?

Common Reasons Visitors Aren’t in Your ICP

  1. Organic Search Mismatch

    • Visitors may be arriving through search queries unrelated to your business focus.

    • What to do: Check your Google Search Console to see what search terms are bringing people to your site. If the keywords aren’t ICP-relevant, update your SEO strategy.

  2. Website Content Attracting the Wrong Audience

    • Blog posts, landing pages, or service descriptions might be written in a way that draws in unrelated traffic.

    • What to do: Review your messaging, make sure your content speaks directly to your ICP, and adjust headlines and copy as needed.

  3. Ad Targeting Issues

    • Paid ads might be targeting too broadly or are being shown to audiences outside your ICP.

    • What to do: Review your ad platform targeting settings to ensure they’re narrowed to match your ICP.

  4. SEO Problems

    • Search engines might be ranking your site for unrelated topics due to keyword confusion or outdated content.

    • What to do: Audit your site’s meta descriptions, page titles, and headings to better align with ICP-focused terms.

Next Steps

If a large portion of your traffic is outside your ICP, RB2B is giving you valuable insight into where your marketing and targeting efforts can be refined. Use this data to:

  • Adjust your SEO keyword focus.

  • Tighten ad targeting parameters.

  • Refine site copy to better attract ICP-matching visitors.

The more your incoming traffic aligns with your ICP, the more valuable RB2B’s identification data becomes for sales and marketing.
