What is Intent Data?

Intent Data is information collected about online user behavior that indicates their level of interest or purchase intent regarding a product or service. In the context of B2B marketing, this information is obtained from digital interactions, such as searches, website visits, content downloads, and social media engagement, allowing companies to anticipate needs and personalize marketing strategies.

Types of Intent Data

1. First-party Intent Data: information collected directly by the company through its own digital channels, such as contact forms, web traffic analysis, and email behavior.
2. Third-party Intent Data: data obtained from external sources, such as web behavior analytics platforms or advertising networks, which allow identifying users interested in products or services similar to those of the company.
