ABM Blogs

G2 is a powerful source of buyer intent. When someone visits G2 to research your category, they’re signaling purchase intent. Many B2B revenue teams have integrated G2 buyer intent signals into their demand gen and sales workflows to identify in-market accounts.

Clearbit has long been the go-to contact and company data enrichment tool for B2B teams. With single-click person and organization data appended to your CRM, Clearbit became foundational to thousands of SDR and marketing teams’ workflows.

Intent data has become the core input for effective outbound sales. Instead of cold calling random companies, SDRs can now target accounts actively researching your solution.

Account-based advertising (ABA)-targeting specific accounts with display, LinkedIn, and email ads-has become table stakes for mid-market and enterprise GTM.

You’ve closed Series A. You have GTM clarity: your buyer, your ICP, maybe 2–3 customer logos. Now you need to scale revenue efficiently. That’s where account-based marketing comes in.

If you’re a small-to-mid-market (SMB) B2B team evaluating ABM platforms, you’ve probably seen 6sense and Abmatic in your shortlist. Both are strong, but they serve different buyer profiles.

Two of the strongest ABM platforms in 2026 are 6sense and Abmatic, but they target different buyer profiles.

B2B intent data in 2026 is no longer a single category: co-op signals (Bombora), first-party platform intent (G2, TechTarget), AI-inferred behavioral intent, and bundled intent in full ABM platforms are all viable, with varying signal quality, coverage, and cost.

HockeyStack’s multi-touch attribution + account engagement scoring + pipeline reporting niche is now crowded: eight viable alternatives each solve a meaningful slice of what HockeyStack does, with varying trade-offs in data coverage, CRM integration, and pricing.

B2B demand gen platforms now span paid media, ABM, intent data, and content syndication, and the right tool depends on your primary pipeline motion (paid, ABM, intent, or account-based lead gen hybrid), not on generic feature breadth.

Bombora’s co-op model dominated B2B intent data for years, but its advantage has narrowed: first-party platform intent (G2, TechTarget, review sites), AI-inferred behavioral signals, and bundled intent (inside full ABM platforms) are now equally viable for most revenue teams.
