Ideal Customer Profile: How to Define It From Your Own Site

A practical ideal customer profile template — industries, company size, regions and buyer titles — built from the content already on your website.

Ideal Customer Profile: How to Define It From Your Own Site
Quick answer

An ideal customer profile lists the industries, company sizes, regions and job titles of the customers who get the most value from you. Build it from your website's services, case studies and testimonials, then test it against who actually buys.

An ideal customer profile (ICP) is the short description of the companies most likely to buy from you and stay. Without one, every prospecting list is a guess.

The four parts of a useful ICP

  • Industries — two to four, not "everyone".
  • Company size — staff range or revenue band.
  • Regions — the cities or countries you can actually serve.
  • Buyer titles — the people who sign.

Where to find it on your website

Service pages tell you the problem; case studies tell you the industries; testimonials tell you the titles; your contact page tells you the regions.

Turn it into a prospect list

Once the ICP is clear, finding matching people is mechanical. Prospectly builds the ICP from your website and matches LinkedIn decision makers to it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an ICP and a buyer persona?
An ICP describes the company you sell to; a persona describes the person inside it who decides. You need both.
How often should I update my ICP?
Review it every quarter, or whenever you launch a new service or enter a new region.
Can AI build my ICP?
Yes. Prospectly reads your site and drafts an ICP in about a minute; you then refine it with what you know about your best customers.
