The Buyer Intent function in HubSpot is designed to help sales and marketing identify and prioritize leads that are actively researching or considering a purchase. It provides insights based on engagement with the AAHA website.

Accessing Buyer Intent Data

  • Navigate to Reports > Analytics Tools > Prospects or Lead Intelligence 

  • If your HubSpot plan includes Intent Data, you can find it under Account-Based Marketing tools.

2. Identify Intent Signals

  • Website Visits: Track how often a lead visits key pages like pricing or product pages.

  • Content Engagement: Monitor blog views, case study downloads, or whitepaper interactions.

  • Email Engagement: Open rates, click-throughs, and replies to marketing or sales emails.

  • CRM Activity: See if they’ve interacted with your sales team (e.g., booked meetings, responded to emails).

3. Use Filters & Scoring

  • Set up Lead Scoring in Settings > Scoring to assign point values to different intent actions.

  • Filter contacts based on their activity level to focus on high-intent leads.

  • Create Smart Lists for leads that meet specific engagement criteria.

4. Automate Outreach

  • Use Workflows to send automated emails when a lead reaches a certain intent threshold.

  • Assign high-intent leads to sales reps automatically.

  • Trigger chatbots or follow-up reminders when a contact visits high-value pages.

5. Monitor & Optimize

  • Regularly check the Buyer Intent Reports to refine your strategy.

  • Adjust email sequences, sales cadences, and content based on what’s driving engagement.
