THE SIGN-IN SHEET · 5 MIN
Two signatures at the guard shack this month. Your website had far more visitors.
Most buyers who research you never sign in.
SiteSonar fills in the company and what it read. It's always on: after each visit to your website closes, it names the company from the network the visit came from and keeps the pages it read. Bots are struck out. Home and mobile visits stay unnamed. Pick the work you want, then scroll.

THE READ · DETAIL B · YOUR WEBSITE
Meanwhile, buyers walked through your website.
A buyer screening suppliers walks your website the way an auditor walks your floor: the 5-axis titanium page, the ITAR page, CMM and first article, the quality page, maybe the quote form. There's no guard shack at that door. Both people who signed your clipboard already knew you: a customer's source inspector and the calibration tech.

NEXT: THE MONTH CLOSES ↓THE COST · OCTOBER CLOSED
The month closes on two signatures.
One company kept coming back to your 5-axis titanium page. You'll never know which one, so nobody calls, and the page that held its attention never gets better. By the time a buyer does sign in, the list is mostly drawn: 6sense found that 94% of buying groups had ranked a preferred vendor before first contact.

Every visit came in on a network.
A visit from a plant or office network comes from a network a company owns. Home and mobile networks don't say whose they are. Bots come from data centers and read every page in seconds. So on the plant and office visits, the company was there all along. Nobody wrote it down.
OFFICE AND PLANT NETWORKS MATCH WELL · HOME AND MOBILE OFTEN CAN'T BE TIED TO A COMPANY
NEXT: FILL IN THE SHEET ↓THE CHANGE· SITESONAR
SiteSonar fills in the sheet after each visit closes.
SiteSonar is always on. When a visit ends, it names the company from the network the visit came from and keeps the visit history: which pages, how often, how long. Bots are struck out. Home and mobile visits stay unnamed instead of guessed, and the person column stays blank on every row. We switch it on right after your Blueprint, and our team reads the sheet with your sales lead.

THE BLUEPRINT IS PAID ONBOARDING · SITESONAR SWITCHES ON RIGHT AFTER IT
NEXT: READ THE SAME MONTH AGAIN ↓RELEASED · THE SAME MONTH, READ AGAIN
The same month, with the sheet filled in.
For sales, it's who could buy. Ridgeway Defense Systems read your 5-axis titanium page three times and opened the quote form. Your sales lead calls about controlled titanium work this week and never mentions the visit.
For marketing, it's what they looked for. The pages companies read most get the next update, and we build it.
Not every company is a buyer. Suppliers and competitors read your site too, so a person reads the sheet with your sales lead. AI grading is Coming.

General notes
- InventedThe plant, companies, websites and rows in this story are invented. One figure is real: 94% of buying groups had ranked a preferred vendor before first contact (6sense, 2025 Buyer Experience Report).
- Unnamed on purposeOffice and plant networks match well. Home and mobile networks often can't be tied to a company, so they stay unnamed.
Most buyers never sign in. Now the sheet says which companies came.
