Purchase Intent Data

The Short Answer

Purchase intent data is a specific category of intent data focused on signals tied directly to an imminent buying decision, rather than general research or awareness-stage behavior. It is typically the highest-value, most time-sensitive segment of an in-market audience, since the underlying behavior suggests a purchase is likely to happen soon.

How It Works

Purchase intent data narrows general intent signals down to the ones most tightly correlated with an imminent transaction, filtering out earlier-stage research or awareness behavior that has not yet reached a buying decision.

Why It Matters

It is typically the highest-value, most time-sensitive segment of an in-market audience. Reaching these people quickly matters, since the signal degrades once the purchase decision has already been made elsewhere.
