No implementation phase. No training required. Follow these 5 steps and start receiving ranked buying signals today.
60 seconds from landing page to setup wizard. No demo call, no approval queue.
Tell us who you sell to. The setup wizard walks you through four dimensions.
A live preview shows how many signals per week your configuration would surface. Most users spend 3-5 minutes here and never touch it again.
14+ platforms pre-configured. No API keys, no OAuth, no setup.
When a prospect posts "Looking for a solution" on Reddit at 2 AM, it is in your feed before you wake up. Toggle any source off if it generates noise for your ICP.
Every matching signal appears in your dashboard, scored and ranked.
Each signal card shows the original post, platform, relevance score, and timestamp. Filter by platform, score range, date, or keyword. Mark as contacted, dismissed, or saved.
Growth and Scale plans also source ICP-fit leads from 402M+ contacts, verify every email through six layers, and resolve catch-all addresses.
AI drafts a message anchored to the exact signal — not a generic template.
Growth and Scale plans include multi-channel templates (LinkedIn + email) with a unified thread view.
Every lead that passes through PQ Intel follows a repeatable pipeline. Here is the complete lifecycle from raw mention to revenue.
Step 1 — Raw signal detection: A prospect posts on Reddit, Hacker News, LinkedIn, or any monitored platform. Their message contains keywords or topics that match your ICP configuration. PQ Intel's crawler captures the full post, profile metadata, thread context, and platform attribution within minutes of publication.
Step 2 — Scoring and ranking: The signal passes through the scoring engine, which evaluates it against your ICP dimensions — industry match, role match, keyword density, language sentiment, and geographic relevance. The signal receives a score from 0 to 100 and is tagged Hot (80+), Warm (40-79), or Cold (under 40). Hot signals appear at the top of your feed immediately.
Step 3 — Contextual draft generation: When you open a Hot signal, PQ Intel analyses the full thread and generates a personalised outreach draft. The draft references the prospect's exact words, mentions your product only where relevant, and mirrors the tone of the original post. This is not a template — every draft is unique to the signal.
Step 4 — Outreach sent: You review the draft, edit it if needed, and send via your own email infrastructure or LinkedIn. PQ Intel does not send on your behalf — it arms you with the right message. The signal card updates to "Contacted" status with a timestamp so you can track engagement.
Step 5 — Conversation and close: The prospect replies. You manage the relationship in your CRM or inbox. PQ Intel's job is done when the first message is sent — the tool exists to surface the opportunity and give you the context to act. From there, your sales process takes over. Many users report that signals originating from PQ Intel close at higher rates because the outreach is anchored to something the prospect explicitly said they needed.
Every tier includes signal monitoring, scoring, and search. Higher tiers add lead sourcing, triple verification, and engager capture. Compare the full feature breakdown on the pricing page.

Most users see their first Hot signal within 2-6 hours of completing the ICP setup. The system begins scanning all 14+ platforms immediately after you save your configuration. If your ICP is broad (e.g., "CTO of any B2B SaaS company"), the pipeline fills faster — you may have signals within the first hour. Narrow ICPs (e.g., "Head of Data at insurance companies in Germany using Snowflake") take longer because the match is more specific, but those signals are exponentially more valuable. The dashboard shows a live counter of signals scanned even before the first match, so you can confirm the system is working.
Yes. Platform monitoring runs 24/7/365 with no gaps. Reddit, Hacker News, X/Twitter, and Telegram are particularly active on weekends — many professionals use Saturday mornings for research and posting questions. PQ Intel detects and scores these signals in real time regardless of the day. The morning digest still arrives at 7 AM Monday through Sunday, and mid-day alerts fire whenever a Hot signal is detected. The only feature that pauses on weekends is the evening review recap — you will see a combined Saturday+Sunday summary on Monday morning instead.
These are PQ Intel's signal confidence tiers. Hot (score 80-100): The prospect's profile, language, and intent strongly match your ICP. The signal contains explicit buying language — words like "looking for," "need a solution," "recommend a tool," "evaluating vendors." These are the leads you should contact within 24 hours. Warm (score 40-79): The content is relevant but the intent signal is weaker. The person may be discussing a problem your product solves without explicitly asking for recommendations, or the role/industry match is close but not exact. Monitor Warm signals — they often escalate to Hot when the same person posts again. Cold (score 0-39): The post matched a keyword but the context or author profile falls outside your target. Cold signals are stored but not pushed to your main feed. You can review them if you want to broaden your search.
Not at all. PQ Intel is designed for asynchronous use. The morning digest gives you a complete picture of everything that happened while you were offline. Mid-day alerts are optional — you can disable push notifications and only check the dashboard when it suits you. The evening review helps you close the loop before you log off. The only thing you might miss by not being online in real time is a very time-sensitive signal (e.g., someone asking for recommendations in a fast-moving Telegram group). Even then, the signal remains in your feed and you can act on it the same day. The system does not require you to be logged in — monitoring, scoring, and ranking all happen server-side regardless of whether your browser is open.
Yes. From your settings page, you can pause all monitoring with one toggle. This stops crawling immediately and preserves your ICP configuration, connected sources, and historical signal data. When you resume, the system picks up where it left off. This is useful during holidays, between funding rounds, or when you have a full pipeline and do not want new leads. You can also pause individual platforms — for example, disable Reddit monitoring if you are getting too many low-quality signals from a specific subreddit while keeping LinkedIn and Hacker News active. Pausing does not affect your billing cycle; your subscription remains active.
The trial costs $5 upfront for 3 full days of unlimited Starter-plan access. We charge the card on signup to verify intent — this prevents abuse of platform monitoring infrastructure. During the trial you can configure your ICP, connect all Starter platforms, receive real signals, and test the outreach drafting feature. If you do not cancel before the 3 days end, your account converts to the Starter plan at $49/mo. You can upgrade to Growth ($149/mo) or Scale ($399/mo) at any time during or after the trial. If you cancel during the trial period, you keep access until the 3 days expire and your card is not charged again.
