Intent Data Providers

Companies that collect and sell data about which businesses are actively researching specific topics or solutions.

Definition

Intent data providers aggregate signals indicating purchase intent—content consumption, search behavior, review site activity, and more. They sell this data to help sales and marketing teams identify accounts that are 'in-market' for solutions. Major providers include Bombora, G2, TrustRadius, and 6sense.

Why It Matters

Intent data helps prioritize outreach to companies showing buying signals. Instead of cold outreach to everyone in your TAM, you focus on accounts actively researching. This improves response rates and sales efficiency.

Examples

  • Bombora: B2B intent data from content consumption
  • G2: Intent from software review site activity
  • 6sense: Intent with AI-powered predictions
  • TrustRadius: Intent from review research

How Bullseye Helps

Bullseye provides first-party intent—the most accurate signal because it's from YOUR website. While third-party intent shows general topic research, Bullseye shows exactly who's visiting your specific pages. Use both together for complete intent coverage.
