Industry-leading B2B Intent, identity, and audience data activated inside the GTM stack you already use.
By Bombora · 4.0/5 verified-buyer score
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- B2B marketing and sales teams that need third-party intent data to prioritize in-market accounts
- ABM and demand-gen programs building addressable audiences on ad tech platforms such as DV360 and The Trade Desk
- Revenue operations teams wanting identity resolution and enrichment of anonymous website traffic
- Agencies and publishers needing account-level campaign measurement and audience insights
- Data and analytics teams that want to build models on a licensed, consent-driven B2B dataset
Ideal size: 50–5,000 people · Mid-market to enterprise B2B with an established GTM stack and marketing ops or data function
Not for
- B2C or low-ACV businesses where account-level buying signals add little
- Teams looking for a full activation platform — Bombora is a data provider, not an end-to-end ABM suite
- Buyers who require published, self-serve pricing before committing
- Organizations with no CRM, marketing automation or ad tech stack to receive the data
- Companies that need customer-level PII rather than account-level intent signals

Bottom line
Bombora is a B2B data company that supplies third-party Intent, identity, audience and measurement data drawn from its Data Co-op of thousands of B2B publishers and sites. Company Surge Intent covers 21,600+ topics built from billions of monthly events. Rather than an activation platform, Bombora delivers data into existing CRM, marketing automation and ad tech stacks. Pricing is quote-based and not published, and onboarding is light because no new infrastructure is required.
Frequently asked questions
What does Bombora actually sell?
Bombora sells B2B data, not a platform: Company Surge Intent data, identity and enrichment, B2B digital audiences, campaign measurement, and an insights suite. It delivers those signals into the CRM, marketing automation and ad tech tools you already run.
How is Bombora priced?
Bombora does not publish list pricing. The vendor site presents its Data Co-op and solutions and directs buyers to speak with an expert, so expect custom, quote-based contracting per solution, data volume and use case. Budget review with sales is required before any cost estimate.
How long until we get value from the data?
Bombora states it delivers data where you already work with no new infrastructure and no new workflows, so activation typically depends on your existing stack and contract rather than a long deployment. Plan for integration and validation work in the first weeks; the vendor publishes no formal time-to-value commitment.
Is Bombora compliant with privacy regulation?
The vendor states its Co-op data is consent-driven and designed to meet privacy standards such as GDPR and CCPA. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or other certification page was among the sources reviewed, so buyers with strict security review requirements should request certifications directly.
Where does Bombora's data come from?
Bombora's Data Co-op aggregates hundreds of publishers and brands and thousands of B2B sites through a proprietary tag, covering gated, paywalled and open content. The vendor states 86 percent of Co-op data is shared exclusively with Bombora for deriving Intent, and that it has direct rights to collect and transform that activity.
Does Bombora use AI, and how is it governed?
Bombora states it applies proprietary AI models trained continuously to derive insights from its Co-op data. The reviewed pages do not document a bring-your-own-model option, per-action AI logging, or an AI management certification, so AI governance details should be confirmed contractually.
