FAQ

What can this service do for me?

If you run a B2B website, Floodlight for B2B will detect which companies visit your website (or other touch points). 

It also enriches that information with company properties like location, industry or revenue. And, being part of Mautic Marketing Automation, you can add behavior information to the mix.

All this combined will not only allow you to be more successful with your existing customers – but also to identify high-potential new business and work proactively with those “hot company leads”.

Does this require Mautic Marketing Automation?

Yes. Floodlight for B2B is implemented as a deeply integrated Mautic plugin plus an API service.

How does Floodlight for B2B work?

Everything is based on Mautic as the platform. Floodlight for B2B uses the visitor's IP address for the company lookup.

Once the company is identified, additional data (business size, industry, location, tech stack, …) is pulled from various sources, and made available to Mautic.

The rest is… Mautic.

Is there a free plan, and what are its limits?

Yes. The free plan includes all Floodlight features. The only restriction is the number of company lookups per month. If you need more, you can upgrade to a Pro plan (S, M or L) or top up with Credit Packs.

What does Pro cost if I have a lot of traffic?

Higher-volume Pro plans (M and L) are available here. Floodlight is also built to avoid unnecessary lookups, for example by skipping dial-up and other non-business IPs, so your credits go further.

Need extra credits just once? You can stock up with Credit Packs.

What happens if I run out of credits?

You can monitor the usage in your Mautic dashboard. Also, we’ll notify you before you run out. You can switch to a higher plan or add a Credit Pack at any time to keep full API-based detection running.

Once your monthly credits are used up, API-based detection pauses until your credits refresh. In the meantime, the plugin automatically falls back to simple DNS/WHOIS-based detection, which returns fewer and less accurate results without interrupting your workflow.

How does this relate to GDPR?

IP addresses count as personal data, so GDPR applies.

Besides the GDPR, the EU’s ePrivacy rules (e.g. in Germany: § 25 TDDDG) apply to the tracking script, while similar laws worldwide include UK GDPR/PECR, US state laws such as CCPA/CPRA, and Brazil’s LGPD.
Floodlight identifies companies from IP addresses, doesn’t store the IP, and acts as your data processor under a data processing agreement (DPA; German: AVV).
You remain responsible for consent and your privacy notice, so list Floodlight in your consent manager and privacy policy. We’re happy to provide ready-made text.

For the Hosted plan, we’re developing a fully local lookup option. Lookups run entirely on your own infrastructure (similar to Mautic's local geolocation lookup database), so no visitor data is sent to Floodlight for B2B servers or any third-party service.

Does Floodlight identify individual people, or only companies?

Only companies. Floodlight uses the visitor’s IP address to find the company behind it, then adds company data such as industry, size and location. It does not identify individual visitors or look up names or email addresses. If a visitor is already a known contact in your Mautic (for example through a form or email click), Mautic’s own tracking applies as usual, and you remain responsible for consent and your privacy notice.

Does this require 3rd-party tracking code?

No. Floodlight uses Mautic’s existing tracking, ideally hosted by you.

What about visitors who decline cookies?

Floodlight relies on Mautic’s tracking, so detection only happens for visitors who have consented to tracking. If your consent manager blocks the Mautic script until consent is given, as we recommend, visitors who decline are not tracked and no lookup is made. Your detection numbers therefore depend on your consent rate.
