Being one of the most popular and free tools on the market, Google Analytics works best not only for Google Ads. You can reveal the identity of website visitors!
While you can define what people visited your webpage (define their IP address), you will get additional insights about the list of companies visiting your website.
To test this approach, you need
1. Login into your Google Analytics Account -
https://analytics.google.com/analytics
2. Go through Audience -> Technology -> Network
or use the search panel -
3. Check the list of service providers and find potential customers within them -
Updated: From February 2020, Google stopped support of Internet Service Providers data, and there is a workflow with Google Tag Manager, custom dimensions, to bring back this data to your Google Analytics instance with support of external IP reveal services.
IP Tracking itself as a technology was developed and used by cybersecurity and anti-bot services and products a long time ago.
Some pioneers in the sales and marketing data space, like Clearbit, saw an opportunity to sell such type of data to identify anonymous accounts visiting your website -
With a large suite of data products for sales and marketing teams, like contact data, firmographic, and technographic data, Clearbit lost a bit the race for being the best tool for IP reveal, where companies like Albacross -
Leadfeeder -
and Leadberry -
They took their place in the market, spending most of their time improving their IP database and deliver the best quality and quantity of revealed list of companies.
From our side, if you decide to test any of these tools, we suggest subscribing to trial plans, adding their tracking scripts to your webpage simultaneously, and checking at the end of the trial which software delivers better results on your traffic. We made such an approach and were very impressed with the difference.

CRM platforms like Pipedrive or HubSpot, along with standalone IP reveal products like Albacross or Leadfeeder, can give up data on our anonymous website visitors, aka potential prospects. Still, there is a lot of other steps to be done to convert them to sales leads!
As a result, companies with a deeper focus on mid-market and enterprise-level deals came up with an all-in-one solution for successful traffic deanonymization and account-based marketing strategies.
The first SaaS product that started to talk a lot about it was Terminus. Identifying accounts visiting your website platform allows you to build a seamless digital marketing experience across multiple channels and structure all data in one place per account.
As a result, you can see the complete picture of the engagement of your audience with your brand on account, contact levels, and opened pipeline -
A similar approach is taken by a company called 6sense -

The company is sourcing open web and using data from other partners to build prediction scores and suggest you an additional account to focus on in your marketing activities.

Updated: With the implementation of new GDPR regulations, in mid-2020 HubSpot decides to withdraw this functionality and propose to use other GDPR-compliant service providers
Pipedrive on other hand entered the race of being all-in-one CRM much later and haven't implemented its own process of identifying anonymous website visitors.
