What is intent data

Intent data is what tells you who's ready to buy, before they fill a form.

Most B2B teams chase cold lists hoping someone is in-market. Intent data flips that: you only talk to prospects who showed an explicit signal of buying intent in the last few days.

Explicit signals

Posts, questions, complaints about competitors, requests for tool recommendations. Real buying intent expressed in natural language.

Real-time, not aggregated

Buska detects signals as they're posted, not 7 days later in a batch report. Be first to reply, not last in the queue.

First-party signals only

No third-party cookies, no aggregated panel data, no IP-based tracking. Just publicly observable conversations on social platforms.

Why Buska

Most intent data tools tell you accounts. Buska tells you people.

Bombora and 6sense aggregate panel data and tell you Acme Corp is researching CRMs this week. Buska shows you the actual person at Acme who posted a buying question 4 minutes ago, with their handle and the exact post.

Signal taxonomy

Four intent signal types, each scored 0-10 by AI.

Buska classifies every detected signal into one of four categories. You can route each type to a different workflow: SDR for ACTIVE, founder for PAIN, brand for QUESTION.

ACTIVE

Active demand

"Looking for a CRM under $99/mo, any recos?"

Explicit purchase intent, ready to evaluate. Highest conversion to demo.

PAIN

Pain signal

"Salesforce is killing our budget, need alternatives"

Frustration with current vendor. Prime moment to position your alternative.

COMPETITOR

Competitor mention

"Just switched from HubSpot to Pipedrive..."

Discussion of your competitors. Useful for win/loss analysis and counter-positioning.

QUESTION

Buying question

"What's the best tool for monitoring social media leads?"

Implicit research, top of funnel. Good for brand awareness and educational outreach.

FAQ

Common questions about B2B intent data.

What is B2B intent data?
B2B intent data is information about which buyers are actively researching or signaling interest in a product category. Traditional intent data providers (Bombora, 6sense) aggregate panel data from publishers and tell you which accounts are 'in-market'. Buska takes a different approach: it monitors public social platforms in real time and surfaces the exact people posting buying questions, complaints about competitors, or requests for tool recommendations.
How is Buska's intent data different from Bombora or 6sense?
Three key differences. (1) Granularity: Buska gives you the actual person and post, not just an account name. (2) Freshness: signals are detected within minutes, not aggregated weekly. (3) Sourcing: Buska uses first-party observation of public social posts, not third-party cookies or panel networks, so it stays clean of CCPA/GDPR cookie consent issues.
Which platforms does Buska monitor for intent signals?
30+ platforms via the public API: LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter/X, Hacker News, YouTube, Quora, Facebook, Bluesky, G2, Product Hunt, TikTok, Instagram, Medium, Pinterest, GitHub, DevTo, Mastodon, Substack, and StackOverflow. The Buska cron pipeline runs continuous scraping, AI scoring, and ICP matching on each one.
What types of intent signals does Buska detect?
Four classified types: ACTIVE (explicit buying intent like 'looking for a CRM'), PAIN (frustration with current vendor), COMPETITOR (mentions of your competitors, useful for win/loss), and QUESTION (research-stage questions). Each signal also gets a 0-10 AI score for prioritization.
How do I integrate Buska intent data with my CRM?
Native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive push every qualified signal as a contact or deal with the AI score, intent type, source platform, and original post URL preserved as custom properties. You can also use webhooks, Make.com, n8n, or the public REST API for custom workflows.
Is there a free tier or trial?
Buska offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial includes 5 keywords, 30 leads per week, AI scoring on every signal, and 7 of the 30+ sources. Paid plans start at $49/month for Starter.
How fast are intent signals delivered?
Real-time. New signals are detected by the Buska cron pipeline within minutes of being posted. They're scored by AI and pushed to your dashboard, Slack, CRM, or webhook immediately. No batch processing, no daily reports.
Is Buska intent data GDPR and CCPA compliant?
Yes. Buska only observes publicly posted content on social platforms (the same posts a human could read). No cookies are placed on visitors, no IP-based tracking, no panel networks. This sidesteps most cookie-consent issues that plague traditional intent data providers.
Can I track named target accounts (ABM)?
Yes. Pre-load your top 100-500 target accounts and Buska will alert you whenever anyone associated with those companies posts a buying signal on monitored platforms. Combine with ICP matching for tighter qualification.
What's the typical lift in reply rates vs cold outbound?
Customers report 3-8x higher reply rates when contacting prospects within 1 hour of a detected ACTIVE intent signal, compared to cold outbound to similar profiles. The reason is simple: you're answering a question they just asked, not interrupting an unrelated conversation.
