Leads for marketing agencies
The best leads for a marketing agency are business owners researching marketing help right now: lead generation, digital marketing, advertising or video. Intent On Demand finds them by topic, industry and company size, so you pitch while they're still choosing an agency.
How to get marketing agency leads from intent data
- Pick marketing agency topics. Search the 45,000+ intent topics and choose the ones your customers research before they buy.
- Narrow it down. Set intent strength and recency, add the filters below, and leave out numbers on the do-not-call list.
- Preview for free. See how many business owners match, which contact details come back, and a masked sample before you pull anyone.
- Pull and refresh. Pull the audience into your workspace and refresh it every 1, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days. Each refresh counts the full audience size toward your monthly contacts, even people you already have.
- Send it where you work. Push to GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Close, start an Instantly or Smartlead campaign, or sync a Facebook Custom Audience.

Three ways marketing agency teams use it
- Cold email that's on time. Owners researching lead generation services, sent to an Instantly or Smartlead campaign each week, only people you haven't emailed before.
- Ads to the same people. Sync the audience to a Facebook Custom Audience so your ads and your emails reach the same owners.
- Video and creative studios. Businesses researching video production services, for production companies and creative studios.
Add the people already on your website
Intent audiences find business owners before they visit you. Add one script to your site and website visitor identification names the people who do visit, with every page they read, in the same workspace and CRM.
Compliance
Phone numbers include do-not-call flags where available, you can leave DNC numbers out of any audience, and you can keep your own suppression list. Follow CAN-SPAM for email and telemarketing and do-not-call rules if you call.
