Topic Catalog
The Web Intent signal is built on a curated taxonomy of 36,937 B2B topics that categorize the content companies and contacts are consuming across ad-supported websites. Every intent signal references a specific topic — understanding the taxonomy helps you target precisely.
Topics are organized into a three-level hierarchy:
16 Categories → 170 Subcategories → 36,937 Topics
Each topic has a topic_id (format: b2b_{number}), a human-readable topic_name, and is classified as either a product (is_product: true) — representing a specific named product like "Salesforce" or "HubSpot" — or a category (is_product: false) — representing a broader concept like "Sales Engagement Software" or "Machine Learning & AI".
Accessing Topics
You can retrieve the full topic list and filter intent signals by topic via the API — see the Signal API reference for endpoints and authentication. Query parameters support filtering by category, subcategory, topic_name, or topic_id.
Targeting strategies:
| Approach | Filter on | Example | Use case |
