See which companies read your website
Torke Visitor Signal is a Torke Node, one part of Torke Engine, and you can buy or rent it on its own. Each morning it emails you the companies that read your site seriously, which pages they read and for how long, with no CRM, no login and no visitor IP address stored.
What is website visitor identification?
Website visitor identification is the practice of finding out which companies visit a website without filling in a form. Most tools match the visitor's IP address to an organisation, and some go further and buy identity data to name individuals. Torke Visitor Signal works at company level only, uses free public records such as network registries and published email records, and never stores the visitor's IP address.
Which companies studied your site without getting in touch?
Most people who read a B2B website never fill in a form, so the founder or the account owner never learns that a target company studied the pricing page yesterday. Visitor Signal closes that gap with a short email at 08:00 in your site's time zone, sent only on days when at least one company passed the bar for a serious visit.
The name comes from the network the visit arrived on. Many companies run their own network or register their business lines in their own name, and free public records such as network registries, gateway host names and the email records a domain publishes can tie an address to that organisation. Visitor Signal runs those lookups in a fixed order, stops at the first answer that holds, and states its confidence for every match.
In the offline demo of 15 October 2026, eight kinds of visit to torke.tech produced a morning email naming three fictional companies. One had read the pricing page for 1 minute 40 seconds and the method page for 50 seconds, matched with medium confidence because the network is registered to that organisation. A home Swisscom line, a line registered to a sole trader, a cloud server crawling the site and a 3-second accidental click were all filtered out, and the footer reported that 4 of 6 qualified visits in the last 7 days could be tied to an organisation.
Coverage has a hard limit. People working from home or on mobile data can't be tied to an employer by any lawful free method, so a share of your visits will always stay unnamed, and the email tells you how large that share is instead of estimating around it. What you gain is timing: outreach that answers interest a company has already shown, in the days after it showed it.
How does Torke Visitor Signal work?
Each step says who does it. Anything with a written rule runs in code, a model works only where judgment on free text is needed and always under a code check, and a person decides whatever someone must answer for.
-
Sign up with a domain
Who does it
Person
What happens
You enter a domain and an email address, confirm the address and paste one script tag into your site.
-
A page is read
Who does it
Code
What happens
The script sends the page's path without the query string, the visitor's consent state, an ad-click flag and a flag for automated browsers.
-
Objections come first
Who does it
Code
What happens
A visitor who refused tracking or whose browser sends Global Privacy Control is dropped before any lookup runs.
-
Bots and cloud traffic are removed
Who does it
Code
What happens
Visits are filtered by user agent, the automation flag and the type of network, and a rate limit applies per site.
-
The network is identified
Who does it
Code
What happens
Four lookups from free sources run in order: the network's owner, the registry record, the reverse DNS name and the names of neighbouring addresses. Home, mobile, ISP, cloud and VPN networks never produce a company, and lines registered to a private person are suppressed.
-
The visitor's country sets the rules
Who does it
Code
What happens
A visitor from the EU, the EEA or the UK without consent is only counted. A visitor who consented, or one from another country such as Switzerland, also has visible time and scroll depth measured.
-
Only serious visits count
Who does it
Code
What happens
Where time is measured, a session needs at least 20 seconds of visible time plus 50 percent scroll or a second page. Where it isn't, it needs two pages or one high-intent page such as pricing, contact or demo, a list you can edit per site.
-
Companies are ranked
Who does it
Code
What happens
Each company scores 10 points per high-intent page, 3 per other page and 5 for a return within 14 days, with older visits counting for less on a 7-day half-life.
-
The email goes out
Who does it
Code
What happens
The report arrives at 08:00, daily or weekly on Mondays, and an optional instant alert fires when a company reads a high-intent page, at most once per company per 24 hours.
What do you receive?
A morning list of companies
Each line names the company domain, its country, the sessions, the pages read with time on each, first visit or return, and the confidence of the match with its reason.
An instant alert on high-intent pages
When the setting is on, a company reading your pricing or contact page reaches you within the next minute, so the call can happen the same day.
Your coverage figure
The share of qualified visits that could be tied to an organisation, measured on your own traffic and shown in the email and on your settings page.
Your data on request
A JSON export of everything stored for your site, and deletion of every record tied to the site in one step.
Where does it stop?
It names company networks and never people, and visits from home and mobile connections stay unnamed.
Without a consented cookie the session code changes every day, so two sessions may be the same person, and the email says so in those words.
A small regional ISP that matches none of the network rules can appear as a company with medium confidence until it is added to the list.
Anyone who forges requests to your site can add noise to your data, although they can't read anything and only their own network would appear.
It uses no identity graph, no data broker, no fingerprinting and no LinkedIn data, so if you need named individuals, this node won't give them to you.
Who is it for?
Who gets the most from Torke Visitor Signal, and when another tool or no tool is the better answer.
A good fit
- B2B founders, account owners and salespeople whose buyers research on the company website before they make contact.
- Teams whose target accounts are large enough to run or register their own networks.
- Companies selling into Switzerland and Europe that want a method built on first-party data and free public sources.
A poor fit
- Businesses whose buyers are mostly freelancers, very small firms or remote workers on home connections, since those visits can't be named lawfully.
- Sites with too little traffic for a month of visits to produce a list worth reading.
Part of Torke Engine, and available on its own
Visitor Signal covers your own website at the signal stage of Torke Engine. Inside the Engine, the companies that read your site sit beside the dated public events that Torke Signal scores at your target accounts, so an account that read your pricing page in the same week it hired a new head of operations stands out. Reports can also go to a webhook as JSON, so the list reaches your own workflow.
Torke Visitor Signal is a Torke Node, so you can run it on its own or inside Torke Engine with the other nodes, and add the others later without starting over.
How much does Torke Visitor Signal cost?
Three ways to run it. Prices are in Swiss francs, excluding 8.1 percent VAT, and media or third-party data you choose to add is billed at cost.

Where does it stand today?
The whole chain runs end to end offline, and its 35 automated tests, including checks that no IP address is ever stored, passed on 15 October 2026. Before it serves real customers, Torke still has to choose a Swiss or EU host and an email provider, complete a legal review of the draft privacy text and processing terms, put a time limit on the log of dropped visits, and run it on torke.tech for a month to calibrate the thresholds and measure coverage on real traffic.
What do teams ask about Torke Visitor Signal?
Each answer stands on its own, so you can forward one to a colleague, and an assistant asked the same question can quote it as it is.
What is website visitor identification?
It is the practice of finding out which companies, and with some tools which individuals, visit a website without filling in a form. Most tools match the visitor's IP address to an organisation. Visitor Signal works at company level only and uses free public records rather than a purchased identity graph.
Is it compliant with the GDPR and the Swiss nFADP?
It is built to be defensible under both: objections are honoured before any lookup, EU, EEA and UK visitors without consent are only counted, no IP address is stored, page records are deleted after 30 days and daily company totals after 396. The privacy text and processing terms are still drafts awaiting legal review, so check them with your own counsel before you go live.
Why are some of my visitors never named?
Visits from home, mobile, ISP, cloud and VPN networks can't be tied to an employer by any lawful free method, and lines registered to private people are hidden on purpose. The email reports how many qualified visits it could and couldn't name, so you always know the size of the gap.
