The two actions that can cause an anonymous visitor to convert into an identified prospect are submitting a form on a landing page and clicking on a tracked link in an email. An anonymous visitor is a person who visits your website or interacts with your marketing assets, but whose information you have not captured in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. An identified prospect is a person whose information you have captured in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and whose activities you can track and measure. You can convert an anonymous visitor into an identified prospect by capturing their email address, which is used as the unique identifier for the prospect record. You can capture the email address of an anonymous visitor by:

Submitting a form on a landing page. A form is a web element that allows you to collect information from your visitors, such as their name, email, or company. A landing page is a web page that you create and host in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to showcase your products or services, offer content, or register for events. You can add a form to a landing page to capture leads or convert visitors into prospects.When an anonymous visitor submits a form on a landing page, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will create a new prospect record with the information provided by the visitor, and associate the previous activities of the visitor with the prospect record4.

Clicking on a tracked link in an email. A tracked link is a link that is modified by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to track the click activity and redirect the visitor to the original URL. You can use tracked links in your emails, social media posts, or banner ads to measure the engagement of your visitors with your online marketing content. When an anonymous visitor clicks on a tracked link in an email, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will append the email address of the visitor to the URL, and use it to create a new prospect record or update an existing one. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will also associate the previous activities of the visitor with the prospect record.

When working on a list email, the Marketing Manager has three options that are not available when working on an Account Engagement email template. They are:

Ability to send the email immediately. This option allows the Marketing Manager to send the list email to the selected recipients as soon as the email is ready, without scheduling it for a later date or time.This option is useful for urgent or time-sensitive messages6

Ability to schedule the email. This option allows the Marketing Manager to choose a specific date and time to send the list email to the selected recipients.This option is useful for planning ahead or aligning with the best time to reach the audience6

Recipient and suppression lists. This option allows the Marketing Manager to select which lists of prospects will receive the list email, and which lists of prospects will be excluded from receiving the list email.This option is useful for targeting and segmenting the audience based on their attributes or behaviors6

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms are the best option if you need to be able to edit and change your form directly. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms are built and managed completely in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and you can easily modify them using the form builder or the layout template. You can also preview and test your changes before publishing them.Form handlers, on the other hand, require you to edit and change your form on the external platform where it is hosted, and you may need to regenerate the code snippet if you add or remove any fields

If a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement administrator wants to know how many unique submissions they have for a form on a landing page, they should check the landing page report. The landing page report shows the performance metrics of a landing page, such as views, submissions, conversion rate, and cost per submission. The landing page report also shows the number of unique submissions, which is the number of prospects who submitted the form for the first time.The landing page report can be accessed from the landing page table or from the landing page details page6.

An automation rule is a criteria-based action that is triggered when a prospect matches the rule. By default, an automation rule will only affect a prospect one time, unless you enable the Repeat Rule option. If you enable the Repeat Rule option, the automation rule can match a prospect more than once, as long as they meet the criteria each time. Automation rules do not run every time, since they are evaluated based on a schedule that you can set. Reference: [Automation Rules], [Repeat Automation Rules]
