Where does TARGUSinfo get its data?
TARGUSinfo has hundreds of data sources and a unique membership in the US Telecommunications Network — giving us access to the hard-to-find data.
We leverage a proprietary linking logic to accurately identify your customers and prospects using one or more identity keys such as a name, address, landline phone number, mobile phone number, email address or IP address.
TARGUSinfo then instantly compiles attributes — such as demographics/firmographics, location, predictive buying behaviors, lifestyles, preferences and risk-assessment factors — to deliver insight that allows you to understand the consumers and businesses interacting with your business, at the very moment of interaction.
What type of information does TARGUSinfo deliver?
TARGUSinfo has tens of thousands of attributes on the customers and prospects interacting with your business, which can be delivered in real time and packaged as a predictive score that indicates the propensity of an individual to buy, convert, respond or act.
Many advertisers, ad agencies and ad platforms work with TARGUSinfo to target their audiences with precision online through our privacy-friendly verified audience data and online cookie network.
We deliver valuable insight on the phone number itself, such as: Is it valid? How long has it been in service? Who is the carrier of the phone? Is it a mobile phone number or landline?
There is also insight available on addresses, such as: Is it mail deliverable? Is it a small office or home office? Is it occupied? Is it business or residential? Is it a prison?
