When it comes to B2B marketing strategy and implementation, precise audience targeting is invaluable. Compared to direct-to-consumer marketing, B2B marketers often need to take more time to understand their target audiences and test their approach. What’s more, because of the comparatively longer customer life cycle for B2B businesses, thorough customer data analysis is required.

In B2B marketing, there are several types of consumer data that marketers can use to build targeted audiences, including demographic information, psychographic traits, buying behavior, purchase history, and more. Intent data is another type of data that can increase the precision of a target audience and boost the effectiveness of B2B marketing and advertising.  

Intent data is generated as users engage in online activity related to a company’s product or service, such as visiting webpages, reading blog posts, attending webinars, and more. By engaging with this content, a consumer is demonstrating that they are interested in a product or considering making a purchase, which is why it can be considered a signal of buyer intent. With intent data, marketers can more accurately identify potential buyers to eliminate wasted resources and increase return on investment. But, what happens when certain types of intent data limit marketers, affecting how precisely they can target their audience?

Anteriad, a full-service B2B marketing solutions provider, addressed limitations within its intent data by using Gravy Analytics’ location intelligence solutions to fill in the gaps. Read on to learn more about how Anteriad leveraged location analytics to enhance its intent data.

With data at the core of its company, Anteriad works with its clients to drive demand, generate leads, and improve pipeline results. Its B2B marketing platform allows its clients to create highly targeted audiences using firmographic and demographic data, such as company size, revenue, industry, location, job title, level, and function. Clients can further refine their audience by incorporating intent data. While all of these datasets allowed marketers to refine target audiences and improve marketing results, Anteriad’s intent data had several limitations.

Because Anteriad’s intent data was built solely at the domain level based on the domain of a target company, its clients of marketers and sales people had to target employees across an entire enterprise rather than just relevant departments or decision-makers within the company. This means targeting large audiences rather than targeting those particular people who displayed interest and have the power to buy.

To help clients target the right audiences and gain better results, Anteriad sought to improve its intent data with added precision.
