Differences

GET OUT OF THE BLACK BOX OF TRADITIONAL INTENT DATA

To pick the right intent data to meet your goals, you have to navigate a confused landscape of data models and methods. First, what type of intent data do you need?

understanding different types of intent data

Intent data is categorized into first-, second- and third-party data. The differences between each categorization have to do with the sources for each, as well as what you are able to do with the buyer intent data.

First-party intent data: The information you directly observe and collect in interactions with customers, prospects, and visitors across your digital properties including your website, email and social. If you have an email program, email tracking, website cookies, marketing automation, or social listening tools, you're already collecting first-party intent data.

Second-party intent data: Information collected by another company. Common examples of second-party intent data include review sites and publishing networks. Users of these platforms register for access to information and grant the right for the owner to share/sell their contact details and information on their behavior.

Third-party intent data: It's a big internet and you want to know what's happening beyond your own site, or a network of a few publishing sites. That's what third-party data tries to do - but collection methods like review IP lookup, media exchange/publishing members, or data from ad networks and widgets often limit results.
