It's been a useful tool so far for picking the audience's intent. So it has been a bit easier for us to reach out to the audience before they reach out to us. The HubSpot integration is seamless and that's what we use regularly. The Bombora dashboard needs improvement. The major disadvantage that I found is it doesn't store historical data.
  • HubSpot Integration
  • Comprehensive report
  • Bombora score helps to identify targets easier
  • Historical Data
  • Dashboard
  • Less time to add the Keywords
We are using Bombora pretty frequently as it gives the head start for our various marketing campaigns. But as mentioned earlier, the major disadvantage is, it doesn't give historical data unless you store download & store the data manually that you get every week. Also, if you want any word to be added to the taxonomy, it takes a good amount of time, i.e. 3-4 months.

Bombora Intent data

Score 6 out of 10

We looked to use Bombora to help at bringing intent data to our sales reps. Our Sales reps use the intent data to make account plans and reach out to prioritized buyers in their territory. We also integrate it with Salesforce and Outreach so we can surface actionable insights for our reps to action off of.
  • Intent data
  • 3rd party integration
  • SFDC integration
  • Outreach notifications
  • Contact information
  • Admin UX
Bombora is well suited in the B2B SaaS space but will need to continue to innovate given the emerging presence of intent providers. ZoomInfo, LinkedIn, G2, TechTarget, and 6Sense....just to name a few of the ones we see internally here that also provide intent data. We need a way to easily visualize all this intent data into one pane of glass for our reps.

We use Bombora in conjunction with our RollWorks platform, to serve ads to companies surging on a number of topics that we deem important to the business. In addition, our Sales team also uses Bombora in Salesforce for prospect accounts and to prioritize them based on what topics they're surging on.
  • Clear Surging Score
  • Wide array of subjects/topics
  • Great CSM relationship
  • More integrations with other ad platforms
  • Make it easier to create reports
  • Provide more insights long-term on surging companies
Bombora is definitely appropriate for your paid media efforts as well as providing context/knowledge for Sales teams to pursue prospects. For Paid Media, Bombora is a great tool for identifying companies outside of your Target Account List that have a high potential of converting to a customer. For Sales teams, Bombora provides helpful context and background for BDRs to follow up with prospects and provide solutions they are actually interested in.

Bombora gives us a lens into companies looking at solutions we sell, like new logo opportunities, add-on products as cross-sell/ up-sell opportunities, current clients looking at our competitors (churn risk), and it also helps us with topics for webcasts and education events. We are using this as a key piece of or ABM stack and I have used it in the past at another company, I put it in here and we saw results right away. Our Marketing Team uses LinkedIn campaigns to assist our front line Sales Team and BDRs, we are seeing 2X-3X better click-through results with Bombora campaigns v. others.
  • Account level buyer intent
  • Blind spots on products /service needed
  • Policy/laws as sales catalysts
  • Geography/location of decision makers
  • Update data at the beginning and end of the week.
  • Salesforce Classic is friendly for those companies transitioning.
  • Clarity on the word clouds. The topics come from for marketing teams.
Bombora is perfect for a Salesforce Lightning Experience org or a well built out HubSpot org. The accounts need to be deduped and I suggest having a specific and clean "Bombora" domain to key in on the subset of accounts that have been tested. For topics, I recommend trying some that tie to named competitors and your product subjects/pain points they solve for your customers. Bombora is not a magic button, but when used as part of an ABM package, you can really see results quickly and focus on Accounts that are focused on your products/services.
