Try it — look up any domain
By the time a prospect "shows intent," ten reps have already found them. Infrastructure signals fire before intent signals — minutes after the SSL cert is issued.
A company just adopted Shopify. Their cert says so. You see it in minutes — before Bombora, G2, or any intent vendor picks it up. The rep who calls first wins.
A US software company just registered acme.de. New country domain = new headcount, new budget cycle, new vendor relationships being formed right now.
5+ new subdomains in 24 hours means a company is spinning up fast — new product launches, new team, or a major fundraise just closed. Strike before the dust settles.
Watch for certs that reveal a competitor's SaaS pattern on your prospects. When they're evaluating tools, your name should be in the conversation.
Every signal is scored 1–100. Filter by type, domain, SaaS vendor, industry, or score threshold. Pipe directly into Clay, your CRM, or a Slack webhook.
Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Okta, Workday — detected from cert SAN patterns the moment a new cert is issued.
Country-code domain registered (.de, .uk, .fr, .au...) — new geographic market entry, new vendor budget.
3+ new domains registered in 7 days — acquisition, rebrand, or major product launch underway.
Domain registered ≤30 days before first cert — brand new company launching. No incumbent vendors yet.

Wildcard SSL cert issued — building dynamic subdomain infrastructure. Scaling fast.
Brand new top-level domain registered. New company, product line, or geographic entity.
