Our dynamic Intent topic taxonomy reflects the evolving market

Bombora updates its Intent topic taxonomy quarterly. Each cycle, we add an average of 1,000 net-new topics to capture the expanding breadth of B2B products, services, concepts, and buying behavior across markets. 

New topics are identified through a combination of customer requests, proprietary AI-driven monitoring, and ongoing analysis of research activity across Bombora’s B2B Data Co-op. Topics are continuously evaluated for relevance, scale, and sustained engagement before moving into Bombora’s live taxonomy. This ongoing refinement ensures customers can always uncover meaningful buyer research signals across a rapidly changing B2B landscape.

Focus on the Intent topics that represent your buyers 

Bombora works with our customers to identify the Intent topics most closely aligned to their buyers, products, competitive landscape, and go-to-market strategy. Topic selection can be informed by historical closed-won analysis, helping uncover the research behaviors and content consumption patterns most associated with buying activity. 

Customers can also identify and organize topics into product-, solution-, or competitor-specific clusters to monitor interest across distinct markets and buying motions. Combined with Bombora’s data science expertise, this approach helps sales and marketing teams focus on the Intent signals most predictive of their go-to-market goals.
