What is website personalization?
Website personalization is the act of customizing elements on your website based on visitor firmographics. Website personalization provides visitors with a customized experience by changing things like messaging, graphics, CTAs, chat, or other types of content on the website.
Creating a customized web experience can help to delight the skimmer, build trust in small ways, and provide relevant content to the visitor. These experiences can be personalized for different segments based on firmographics such as industry or employee count. Or you can take it even further by creating 1:1 personalized experience for visitors for target accounts.
