Context
You can use Demandbase firmographics attributes in your site customization experiences and dynamically update the attribute fields for each visitor. Using Demandbase firmographics attributes increases flexibility and eliminates the need to create multiple experiences for each target account. See Reference: Firmographics Attributes Overview for Demandbase IP-API for the list of attributes.
For example, if you want your site to show the industry of a visitor’s company, you can use the Industry attribute in a header element. When a visitor comes to the web page, Demandbase recognizes the visitor and shows their industry in the header. If Demandbase doesn’t have the data, or if the visitor is unknown, Demandbase leaves the field empty and only shows the non-dynamic text on the page. See How Demandbase Targets Accounts Using Domains.
The following are the most commonly used attributes:
- Company name
- Marketing alias
- Industry
- Sub Industry
- Revenue range
- Employee range
