Canonical page: https://datasdk.ai/glossary/ideal-customer-profile

An ideal customer profile describes the kinds of businesses your offer serves best.

## Why it matters

Give your team a consistent reason to research one company before another.

## Illustrative example

Your profile might specify industry, team size, and supported countries.

## What to check

A business can fit the profile without having a current need or budget.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
