Overview

What Clearbit is.

Clearbit (now Breeze Intelligence, part of HubSpot) enriches records with firmographic and technographic data, turning thin form fills into complete profiles. It's the fuel behind accurate lead scoring, routing, and personalized experiences.

It also powers form shortening and real-time website personalization. We use it to make sure the data driving your scoring and segmentation is complete and current. Garbage-in is where most scoring models fail.
