G2 Buyer Intent
Intent data from real software buyers researching and comparing products on G2.com.
The verdict
Uniquely valuable intent data because it comes from buyers actively comparing software, but only works for companies in the G2 ecosystem.
Best for
Teams wanting intent signals from actual software buyers researching on G2
Not great for
Companies selling outside of the software/SaaS category
G2 Buyer Intent provides something no other intent data source can: signals from buyers who are actively on G2.com researching, comparing, and evaluating software products. Unlike Bombora’s broad content consumption signals or TechTarget’s media-based intent, G2 intent data comes from people who are in a buying process and looking at your category, your product page, or your competitors.
The data breaks down into several signal types. Category intent shows when a company is browsing a software category on G2. Product page intent shows when they visit your specific listing. Competitor comparison intent tells you when an account is viewing your profile alongside a competitor’s. Alternative page intent shows when someone is researching alternatives to a product in your space. Each of these signals has a different meaning for your outreach strategy.
The competitor comparison data is particularly actionable. If you know that Acme Corp viewed your G2 profile and your top competitor’s profile on the same day, that is a strong signal that they are in active evaluation. Your sales team can reach out with positioning that directly addresses the comparison.
G2 Buyer Intent integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, 6sense, Demandbase, Outreach, and Salesloft. The typical workflow is: G2 surfaces intent signals, the data enriches account records in the CRM, scoring models prioritize the account, and sales or marketing workflows trigger outreach.
The constraint is obvious: this only works for software companies. If you sell services, physical products, or anything not reviewed on G2, there is no data to collect. Signal volume also depends on how much traffic your G2 category receives. Popular categories like CRM or project management generate substantial signals. Niche categories may produce too few signals to build reliable workflows around.
Pricing is bundled with G2’s broader seller products and requires a sales conversation. For SaaS companies with an active G2 presence in a well-trafficked category, the intent data provides uniquely high-quality buying signals that complement broader intent sources like Bombora.
