//The distinction

Visitor identification tells you who may have visited. Visitor recovery turns eligible abandoned paid-search sessions into suppression-ready, routed opportunities. The first is a data product. The second is infrastructure.

//Side-by-side

// VISITOR IDENTIFICATION

// VISITOR RECOVERY

Identifies some anonymous visitors

Starts with paid-search intent

Often lacks intent context

Preserves campaign, page, and funnel context

May not include suppression logic

Applies scoring and suppression

Usually stops at data output

Routes into CRM, mail, webhook, SFTP, or audit reports

//Operational impact

// TIERZERO.FRAMING

A list of names without intent context, suppression, or routing is a research artifact. TierZero treats every record as a workflow unit: scored, deduplicated, suppression-checked, and ready to enter a system the client already operates.
