The reverse IP lookup has many uses but what are its limitations? And how can companies make sure data is accurate for lead generation and personalization?
The reverse IP lookup is a method that uses your IP address to check the DNS record of your IP address. The returning data from the check gives insights into your current geolocation and company if your company has a dedicated IP address.
Because the reverse IP lookup, also known as reverse DNS check (rDNS) only looks at what data the Domain Name Server (DNS) contains, the information is not always as accurate due to VPN connections and domain admins not providing the data.
However, modern intent data tools that use the same IP address to company name checking method have built a database of IP addresses and which companies they belong to. This data is much more accurate even with VPN connections.

You can also use the reverse IP lookup for lead generation if you connect the data directly to your CRM where sales can then see which companies visited your website.
The reverse IP lookup is more useful for lead generation when the company visiting your website is small because the reverse IP lookup doesn't provide you the contact details of the person who visited. For huge enterprise customers like Microsoft, your sales team is unlikely to ever find out who from that organization visited your website if they don't convert on the spot.
