Market intelligence

Most research tells you what happened. Ours tells you what to do next.

We combine AI scans of every ad, offer and page in your category with conversations with the buyers who actually decide. The output isn’t a hundred-page report; it’s the segments worth winning, what each one needs to hear, and the channels to reach them.

The short answer

What is market intelligence?

Market intelligence is research into your market that leads to a decision: who the buyers are, who decides, what they care about, what competitors are doing, and where the openings are. The point isn’t a report; it’s knowing who to target and what to say.

We map markets by buyer and decision-maker, turn the findings into a message per segment, and test them with real outreach so the research pays for itself.

Buyers
Who buys, and who decides.
Competitors
What they offer, and where they’re weak.
Action
A message and a target list per segment.
The engine

From a contact list to a mapped market.

How Jakarta Aquarium & Safari replaced “who we know” with “who we should target”, and screened every prospect before a meeting.

Why research gathers dust

Six reasons research never changes anything.

Companies spend on research and keep doing what they did before. These six gaps are why the insight never reaches the market.

01 / 06

Reports nobody acts on

What’s happening

A hundred pages of findings, a presentation, and no decision anyone owns. Six weeks later, nothing has changed.

Slide 1 of 60Growth strategy 2026Six weeks on, nothing live
Check it yourself30 sec

Take your last research report. Which decision did it change?

How we fix it

Every finding ends in a move, with an owner.

02 / 06

One market treated as one buyer

What’s happening

Schools, corporates and agencies buy for different reasons. Research that averages them finds a buyer who doesn’t exist.

One pitch for everyoneJoint painFatigueImmunityMenopauseA buyer and an angle per product

Name your three buyer types. Do they buy for the same reason?

How we fix it

Segments mapped by who decides, and why.

03 / 06

Benchmarking only the obvious rivals

What’s happening

Studying the competitors everyone already watches finds the plays everyone already runs.

How we fix it

An AI scan of every play in the category.

04 / 06

Guessing what buyers worry about

What’s happening

The buyer’s real first question is rarely the one your page or pitch answers.

When did someone on your team last speak to a buyer who chose a competitor?

How we fix it

Conversations with the people who actually decide.

05 / 06

Answers buried in your own data

What’s happening

Your sales chats, calls and CRM already say what buyers want and why they don’t buy. Nobody has time to read them.

How we fix it

06 / 06

Prospects nobody qualified

What’s happening

A list of names isn’t a market. Without qualification, sales spends its week on people with no budget or authority.

“We weren't even sure it was possible, and we wanted GTMLab to validate whether there is a way to acquire partners predictably. GTMLab didn’t just answer 'yes'—they proved it.”

“They understood in hours what took me years, and gave me a clear way forward. If you're pouring money into ads that don't you bring qualified leads, I'd 100% recommend GTMLab to turn that around.”

FAQ

Before you book the audit

What does market intelligence include?

Segment sizing, competitor scans (their ads, offers, pages and channels) and buyer research, all aimed at one decision: where to grow next, and how.

How do you use AI in research?

AI scans every ad, offer and page your category has run, so nothing is missed and patterns show up fast. People do the part AI can’t: talking to buyers and deciding what it means.

Do you talk to real buyers?

Yes. Interviews with buyers and with your sales team, plus your own CRM and chat data where you have it.

How is this different from your competitor analysis workshop?

Growth Decode is a focused workshop on your funnel and your top competitors. Market intelligence goes wider: the whole market, its segments and the buyers inside them.

What does it cost?

The research session comes with no commitment. If we work together, the fee is set by the scope of the work, and we agree it with you before anything starts.

How quickly will we get answers?

The research brief lands in the first week. The market map and competitor scan usually follow within two to three weeks, with the first moves live soon after.

Can you research a market we’re not in yet?

Yes. Market-entry research is one of the most common requests, and it pairs with our go-to-market work for APAC.

Do you act on the findings too?

Yes. The same team runs the outreach, ads and CRM that put the findings to work, so the research never sits in a drawer.
