Account-based marketing

Account-based marketing,
from list to pipeline in one place.

Account-based marketing (ABM) means choosing the companies you want as customers first, then marketing to the people who buy at those companies. IntentBid runs the whole loop: your ICP and target account list, ads on Microsoft, Google and ChatGPT, identification of the companies that visit, and engagement per account.

What ABM is, and what it is not

ABM flips the usual funnel. Instead of attracting as many leads as possible and filtering later, you decide which companies matter, then focus spend and content on them.

ABM is not only for enterprise. It is mostly a discipline: a clear ICP, a list, and reporting by company. What used to require a large budget can now run in your own Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising accounts.

How IntentBid runs ABM end to end

  1. Find your ICP. Give your website and the region you sell to (UK, EU or US). Choose seniority, departments and list size.
  2. Target account list. You get companies with the number of decision-maker positions and their main role. Never people or emails.
  3. Microsoft Advertising campaigns. Created paused in your own account and checked step by step: company, industry and job function targeting on Bing and the Audience Network (MSN, Outlook, Edge).
  4. Google Ads campaigns. Company audiences for retargeting after a visit, ICP custom segments from buyer searches and sites, and lookalike companies.
  5. ChatGPT Ads. Sponsored placements beside the questions your buyers ask.
  6. Identification. The pixel identifies the companies visiting your site and the pages they read.
  7. Reporting. Impressions per account (Microsoft reports by company), clicks and visits per account, an engagement score and buying stage, sent to HubSpot or Slack.
  8. AI visibility. Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI answers name your brand, with articles and landing pages from the GEO agent to close gaps.

What makes ABM work

  • A list sales agrees with. Review tier 1 together before anything launches.
  • Enough budget per account. A smaller list reached well beats a large list reached once.
  • Messages by role. IT, finance and the business owner care about different things.
  • Patience on metrics. Engagement moves in weeks, pipeline in months. Track reached and engaged accounts early.
  • Honest targeting. Google cannot target companies by name; Microsoft can. Plan channels accordingly.

Straight answers.

What is account-based marketing in simple terms?

Picking the companies you want as customers and focusing your marketing on the people who buy at those companies, then measuring results by company rather than by lead.

Is ABM only for large companies?

No. Any B2B company with a clear ICP and a deal value worth the focus can run ABM. Running it in your own ad accounts removes the large minimums that used to come with ABM platforms.

What do I need to start ABM?

A defined ICP, a target account list, at least one channel that can reach those accounts, and a way to see which accounts engage. IntentBid provides all four.

Does IntentBid give me contacts?

No. The target account list shows companies and the number of decision-maker positions with their main role. We never show people or emails.

Which ad platforms can target companies?

Microsoft Advertising targets by company, industry and job function. Google Ads cannot target companies by name, so it is used for company audiences after a visit, ICP segments and lookalikes.

How long until ABM shows results?

Reach and engagement per account show within the first weeks. Pipeline takes longer, depending on your sales cycle.
