What are Market Intelligence Tools?
Market intelligence tools (also called marketing intelligence software) helps businesses collect and aggregate needed information about companies and individuals in their marketplace. This can include:
- firmographic information
- financials and funding rounds
- competitive information and analysis
- geographic information
- search engine and search marketing trends
Marketing intelligence platforms pull publicly available data from multiple sources and provide organizations with a database for viewing the information. The third-party or in-house data sources market intelligence platforms pull from can include survey & forms building, web analytics, business intelligence, SEO tools, contact center software, survey & forms building, and sales enablement software. News outlets and press releases can be a source of market intelligence as well. Data from these sources often comes in separate reports, which marketing intelligence software combines into a single environment. Most market intelligence tools have the ability to sync with the user’s CRM and augment existing contact and account records with new information.
For businesses using marketing intelligence software, the main goal is to gain a better understanding of the overall market landscape and where they fit in it. For example, understanding what competitors are doing differently, how search behavior has changed or is evolving, and seeing where growth potential lies.
Market Intelligence Tools Features
Most market intelligence platforms act as information aggregators and a database for companies to view, download, and sometimes analyze different types of intelligence. The different types of information collected by these tools include:
- Search intelligence
- Market trend intelligence
- Contact & account intelligence
- Competitor intelligence
- Product feedback and intelligence
- Customer consumer experience intelligence
Certain market intelligence tools will focus on one of the areas above, while others provide information on multiple types of intelligence. For example, SEMrush is an organic search engine and search marketing intelligence tool. On the other hand, Zoominfo specialized in providing B2B business intelligence in the form of firmographic information, contact information org charts, geographic information, and business news.
Market Intelligence Tools Comparison
Before investing in a market intelligence tool, or set of tools, consider the following key points:
- Goal: What are you trying to achieve with the tool? Are you looking to identify emerging market trends and monitor search behavior? Or are you looking for a database to help augment your CRM contact records and potentially add new contact records? Different tools specialize in different types of market intelligence. Make sure you match the type of tool you’re considering to your ultimate goals for using the platform.
- Data hygiene: Consider how regularly you need the data in the platform to be refreshed and updated. Especially for more traditional market intelligence platforms that provide contact-level and firmographic information, having clean and accurate data is essential. traditional marketing intelligence software tools refresh their data more often than others. In comparison, SEO and SEM intelligence tools often report on search data either in real-time or with a small lag.

For example, traditional database market intelligence tools typically have a different price range than SEO and SEM intelligence tools.

SEO and SEM intelligence tools tend to start around $100 per month for basic plans and can increase to $500+ per month for more advanced plans that allow multiple users.
