B2B intent data co-op surfacing which companies are actively researching your category.
Bombora is a B2B intent data provider built on a cooperative of publisher sites that share content-consumption signals. Its Company Surge scoring flags when an account is reading unusually heavily on a topic — a proxy for active buying research — and feeds that signal into ABM platforms, CRMs, and sales engagement tools. Demand gen and sales teams use it to prioritize outreach and advertising toward accounts already in market. In the revenue stack it is a data layer, enriching targeting and routing decisions rather than executing them.

Bombora's data comes from a consent-based publisher co-op rather than scraped or bidstream sources, which matters both for signal quality and for privacy posture. Its topic taxonomy and surge methodology have become the de facto standard, so its scores plug into most of the ABM and sales-intelligence tools you already run.
Bombora is a data supplier, not an orchestration platform — and in fact many ABM platforms license or blend Bombora data. Buy it directly when you want the raw intent signal inside your own stack; buy an ABM platform when you want the activation layer too.
The common plays are prioritizing outbound toward surging accounts, triggering ads or nurture when a target account starts researching, and flagging churn risk when a current customer starts researching competitors. It sharpens timing; it does not replace fit-based targeting.
