If you’re using Visitor Queue to track website visitors, odds are you don’t want that data stuck in yet another dashboard. Maybe you want to analyze leads, hand off lists to your sales team, or just keep a backup. Whatever the reason, you want your Visitor Queue data in Excel or Google Sheets, not buried behind a login.
Here’s the good news: exporting your data isn’t rocket science. The bad news? It’s not always as seamless as you’d hope. Let’s cut through the fluff and get your visitor data where you actually need it.
Who Is This For?
- Marketers who want to slice and dice lead data
- Salespeople tired of copy-paste routines
- Business owners who’d rather see everything in a spreadsheet
- Anyone who’s frustrated by walled-garden analytics
If you just want a quick dump of your data, this is for you. If you’re hoping for a fully automated, two-way sync — well, keep your expectations in check.
Step 1: Understand What You Get From Visitor Queue
First, if you’re new to Visitor Queue, the platform identifies companies that visit your website, using their IP addresses and some third-party enrichment. It’s a handy way to see which businesses are kicking the tires on your site. But Visitor Queue’s dashboard isn’t where most people want to do their deep dives.
What you’ll export:
- Company name
- Website
- Location info
- Industry
- Visit dates and pages
- Contact info (if available)
- Lead scores/tags
What you won’t get:
- Individual visitor names (it’s company-level, not personal data)
- Super-detailed user journeys (it’s more “who visited” than “who clicked what”)
The export is basically a CSV dump — simple and, honestly, that’s all most people need.
Step 2: Exporting Your Data From Visitor Queue
Let’s get your data out of the Visitor Queue cage.
2.1 Log In and Find Your Leads
- Sign in to your Visitor Queue account.
- Go to the Leads or Dashboard tab (the exact label might change, but it’s where you see your list of companies).
2.2 Apply Any Filters First
Want data for a specific timeframe, tag, or sales rep? Set your filters before exporting. The export grabs what you see on screen — nothing more, nothing less.
Pro tip:
If you only want this month’s leads, set your date filter now. Otherwise, you’ll get a massive file with everything.
2.3 Use the Export Button
Look for an “Export” or “Download CSV” button — usually at the top-right of your leads table. It might just be a download icon.
- Click it.
- Wait a second. Visitor Queue will generate a CSV file and download it to your computer.
Honest heads-up:
- Some plans limit how much data you can export at once (e.g., “only last 30 days” on basic plans). If you hit a wall, check your subscription level.
- If you don’t see an export option, you might need to ask your account admin or upgrade your plan. Visitor Queue sometimes hides this behind paid tiers.
Step 3: Open Your Data in Excel
Now you’ve got a CSV file — that’s spreadsheet gold.
- Open Excel.
- Go to File > Open and select your CSV file.
Excel should handle the formatting automatically, splitting the data into columns. If you see all your info jammed in one column, try this:
- Select Column A, then go to Data > Text to Columns
- Choose “Delimited,” then select “Comma” as the delimiter
Done. Now you can sort, filter, make charts, or hand it off to a teammate.
What to watch for: - Sometimes, long URLs or weird characters don’t display perfectly. That’s a CSV thing, not a Visitor Queue quirk. - Dates may show up in odd formats — use Excel’s formatting tools if you care.
Step 4: Import Your Data into Google Sheets
If you prefer Google Sheets (for sharing, automation, or working in the cloud), here’s how:
- Open Google Sheets and start a new blank sheet.
- Go to File > Import > Upload.
- Drag your CSV file into the window, or use Select a file from your device.
- Choose Insert new sheet(s) when prompted. (That way, it won’t mess up any data you already have.)
- Click Import data.
Your data should pop up, nicely arranged in columns.
Why bother with Sheets? - Easy sharing and collaboration - Built-in charts and add-ons - Simple to hook up to other tools (Zapier, Google Data Studio, etc.)
Watch out for: - Some fields (like phone numbers with a “+”) may turn weird in Sheets. Double-check formatting if you need to keep things clean.
Step 5: Automate It — Or Not
Here’s where things get a bit less rosy. Visitor Queue doesn’t offer a direct, always-on sync to Google Sheets or Excel out of the box.
Your options:
- Manual exports (what you just did): Most reliable, but you have to remember to do it.
- Zapier integration: Visitor Queue can send new leads to Google Sheets using Zapier, but you’ll need to set up the zap, and it’s limited to new leads — not bulk exports. Also, Zapier isn’t free for anything past hobby use.
- API: If you’re technical, Visitor Queue has an API. But unless you know your way around webhooks and JSON, this is overkill.
- Third-party tools: Some data integration platforms (like Integromat/Make) might help, but frankly, it’s more work than most people need.
Bottom line:
If you just want a full snapshot, stick with manual exports. If you need automated, real-time updates, be prepared to roll up your sleeves (and maybe pay for Zapier).
Step 6: Clean Up and Make It Useful
Now that your data’s in a spreadsheet, don’t just let it sit there. Here’s how to actually use it:
- Deduplicate: Sort by company name and remove repeats.
- Tag or flag leads: Add columns for status (“Contacted,” “Qualified,” etc.).
- Share smartly: Don’t just blast the whole thing to your sales team. Highlight the best leads.
- Archive regularly: Keep old CSVs in a folder, so you always have a backup.
What doesn’t work:
- Don’t try to use Visitor Queue exports as a “CRM.” The data’s too raw.
- Don’t expect accurate contact info for every company. Sometimes it’s just a generic email or none at all.
- Ignore “lead score” unless you know how Visitor Queue calculates it — it can be hit or miss.
Pro Tips and Gotchas
- Export regularly. Visitor Queue doesn’t keep your data forever, and your plan may limit history.
- Check your plan. Some features (like export) are gated behind higher tiers.
- Data privacy: Don’t add these leads to mass email lists unless you know you’re compliant with privacy laws.
- Contact info is spotty: Sometimes you’ll get a goldmine, sometimes just a company name. That’s the nature of IP-based tracking.
Keep It Simple
Don’t overthink it. The export process from Visitor Queue to Excel or Google Sheets is pretty straightforward, even if it’s not fully automated. Start with manual exports — get a feel for what’s useful, what’s junk, and what your team actually uses. If you find yourself doing this all the time, then look into automation.
Iterate as you go. The tools are there to help you, not add busywork. Happy exporting.
