What is Aberdeen?

Aberdeen offers intent data for B2B marketers. By collecting data from over one billion web interactions, Aberdeen aims to predict what brands and technologies users are seeking and which ones are ready to make a purchase. Aberdeen boasts a high accuracy in predicting buyer intent and utilizes machine learning to maximize efficiency and minimize false leads. The software is highly customizable and allows businesses to select target keywords that are right for them.

Aberdeen increased its predictive sales and lead qualification capabilities with its acquisition of the Big Willow, acquired in December 2018.
