Questions about buying signal detection
Common queries about how PQ Intel finds and scores B2B buying signals.
A buying signal is any public indication that a company or professional is actively researching, comparing, or intending to purchase a solution. This includes complaints about current vendors, direct questions about alternatives, hiring for relevant roles, announcing new funding, or discussing specific feature needs.
Scoring is based on multiple factors: explicit language of urgency, the poster's role and company context, platform type, and discussion sentiment. Hot signals show clear, immediate intent (e.g., “actively evaluating alternatives”). Warm signals indicate research or future need. Cold signals are informational or lack decision‑maker context. You can adjust scoring sensitivity in your settings.
PQ Intel continuously scans LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Product Hunt, Medium, Dev.to, and Substack. These platforms host the majority of professional discussions, technical complaints, hiring announcements, and product comparisons that reveal buying intent.
Our crawlers index new posts and comments multiple times per hour. Most signals appear in your dashboard within 60–90 minutes of being published online. High‑velocity platforms like X and Reddit are scanned even more frequently.
