I’ll be honest with you… before this, I thought we were doing everything right.
We had a beautiful website.
We were running ads.
We were getting traffic every single day.
And yet… less than 3% of our traffic was converting.
Worse? Every time I checked our analytics, it said the same thing: over 97% of our visitors left without ever purchasing, signing up, submitting a form or even contacting us.
That was thousands of potential customers we’d already paid to get on our site. Just leaving without a trace.
It made me sick to think about all that wasted ad spend.
We tried everything we could think of:
- Added pop-ups and lead magnets.
- Spent more on retargeting ads.
- Hired a “conversion optimization expert.”
Nothing made a dent.
The Moment Everything Changed
It happened by accident. I was at a networking event, talking to another business owner about our conversion struggles, when she said:
“Wait… you’re telling me you don’t capture the people who leave your site?”
I told her, “We have pop-ups, but most people just close them.”
She laughed.
“No, I mean really capture them and their contact info. Even if they don’t opt-in to anything.”
I thought she was crazy… until she pulled out her phone and showed me a tool called Capturify.io
She said, “It’s like caller ID for your website. When someone leaves, you still get their name, email, address, demographics and more — so you can follow up and convert them into customers.”
I thought it was too good to be true, but I signed up for the free trial that night anyway.
The First Week Results Were… Shocking To Say The Least
Within a week, Capturify identified over 480 people who had visited our site but never contacted us.
Not random people but people who were actually interested in our business — with real, verified names, and contact information.
We directly integrated the list into our email marketing software, sent a quick follow-up campaign…
…and we converted 12 of them almost immediately. Then another several dozen over the next few weeks.
That one follow-up campaign increased our revenue 23% — from leads we didn’t even know existed a week earlier.
Attention: If you're reading this, here's an update since I first wrote this article:
Capturify is offering 500 free leads to anyone who signs up for a free 14-day trial today.
You can try it risk-free, see exactly who’s been visiting your site, and start turning that lost traffic into real, paying customers.
⚠️ Heads up: They limit the number of free trials every month. So be sure to sign up if you see the offer still available on their site.
The Math That Made Me a Believer
Over the next month, we kept at it.
Every week Capturify.io was quietly delivering hundreds of lost leads to our inbox — people who had already shown interest.
We emailed them.
We called them.
We retargeted them in our ads.
We even used the demographics data to redefine our target audience and ideal customer profile.
In 6 months, that “invisible” group of people generated $1.2 MILLION in sales.
And here’s the kicker — we didn’t spend a penny more on ads to get them.
Not only that, but the platform only costs us $27 per month. Do the math on that ROI!
Why This Works So Well for Small Businesses
If you have a small business with even just a few visitors a month, this is a game-changer.
Think about it: If even just 50 people visit your website, 48 of them are probably leaving without taking action. This is generally the same conversion rate for any business in any industry.
That's 48 missed sales opportunities. If you could capture just 20% of those lost visitors, that’s over 10 extra high-intent leads for your business — at less than $0.20 per lead.
That’s why this tool is so deadly effective for smaller businesses. We don’t have money to waste. Every visitor counts.
Here’s the crazy part — Capturify.io costs just $27 a month.
One sale more than covers it for us. Sometimes one sale covers the next few weeks.
And the trial offer is even better:
They offer 500 free leads when you sign up for a free trial.
We used to obsess over getting more traffic.
Now? We focus on getting more sales from the traffic we already have.
No more sleepless nights wondering why our ads “aren’t working.”
No more burning cash on traffic that just disappears.
We capture them.
We follow up.
We close the sale.
UPDATE: Since writing this, I’ve told a few other business owners about Capturify.io — and they’re seeing results just as fast. One friend in the service business space closed a $6k deal from a lead Capturify.io caught in his first week.
The only regret we all have? Not starting sooner.
