Intent data surfaces accounts actively researching solutions in your category right now. Layering intent on firmographic criteria dramatically improves timing and conversion.
ICP → Intent Signals: select categories, set recency window (30/60/90 days), assign weight.
Intent + firmographic = priority queue. Accounts with strong ICP match (score 70+) AND active intent automatically surface at the top of your campaign queue. These are your hottest targets.
Intent signals refresh weekly. Use the 30-day window for highest relevance. The 90-day window casts a wider net for longer evaluation cycles.
