Is intent data the same as lead scoring?

No. Intent shows behavior happening now. Lead scoring ranks existing leads. Intent often feeds scoring models, but it isn’t the same thing.

How accurate is third-party intent data?

It varies by provider. Treat it as directional, not absolute. Combine it with first-party signals for confidence.

When behavior stacks up. Multiple signals, recent activity, and ICP fit. Not a single page view.

Yes, sometimes more. Smaller teams benefit most from prioritization because they can’t chase everyone.

Usually short. Days or weeks. Intent decays quickly, so speed matters.
