Data Acquisition

H2M's data acquisition programs, powered by Factua — our proprietary data platform — capture first-party, consent-verified, intent-validated consumer records in real time. The result is a pipeline of people actively looking for what you offer.

Get Started

The Difference Between A Lead and A Prospect.

Most data vendors sell lists. Thousands of names, email addresses, and phone numbers — scraped, recycled, and resold to anyone willing to pay. The result is a 'lead' who has no idea who you are, never asked to hear from you, and is legally protected from your outreach if consent wasn't properly obtained.

H2M does something different. Our data acquisition programs capture consumers at the moment of intent — when they're actively researching, comparing, or preparing to make a purchase decision. Every record is captured with explicit first-party consent, enriched with behavioral data through Factua, and delivered with full TCPA documentation that protects you if you're ever challenged on it.

The result isn't a list. It's a pipeline — people who are ready to hear from you, at the moment they're most receptive, with the consent documentation to prove it.

Powered by Factua: H2M's Proprietary Data Platform

Factua is H2M's proprietary data platform — the technology layer that powers our data acquisition programs. Factua captures and processes first-party consumer data across H2M's owned and operated properties, enriches it with behavioral intent signals in real time, verifies consent at the point of capture, and delivers structured, campaign-ready records to our clients. No other partner you work with has access to Factua — it is exclusively H2M's.

What makes Factua different

What makes Factua different from third-party data platforms isn't just the technology — it's the data lineage. Because Factua captures data on H2M's own properties, every record has a clear, auditable consent chain from the first interaction to the final delivery. In an era of increasing data privacy regulation, that lineage isn't just a compliance asset — it's a competitive one.

Our 5-Step Process

How H2M Data Acquisition Works

1

Campaign & Audience Targeting Setup

We define your ideal consumer profile: demographics, intent signals, geographic targeting, and industry vertical. Targeting parameters are configured within Factua to match your audience with precision.

2

Intent-Based Capture Across Owned Properties

Consumers are captured on H2M's owned and operated properties at the moment they're expressing active intent — filling out a form, comparing options, or requesting information in your category. This is first-party data captured with full transparency.

3

Real-Time Enrichment & Validation

Each record is instantly enriched through Factua with behavioral signals, demographic data, and contact validation. Duplicate records, invalid contact information, and previously suppressed contacts are filtered in real time before any record reaches your pipeline.

4

Consent Verification & TCPA Documentation

Prior express written consent is captured and documented at the point of interaction — creating a clear, timestamped audit trail for every record. This documentation is delivered alongside each lead and maintained in H2M's records for regulatory protection.

5

Delivery & Integration

Records are delivered to your CRM, marketing platform, or data warehouse in real time via API or scheduled batch — formatted to your specifications and ready for immediate campaign activation.

What You Get With H2M Data Acquisition

Factua-Powered Intent Scoring

Every record is scored for purchase intent at the moment of capture — so you know which prospects are in active research mode versus early awareness, and can prioritize your outreach accordingly.

First-Party, Consent-Verified Data

All records are captured directly by H2M on owned properties — not aggregated from third parties, not scraped, and not recycled from prior campaigns. Consent is first-party, explicit, and documented.

TCPA Documentation at the Point of Capture

Every record includes timestamped consent documentation that satisfies TCPA prior express written consent requirements. This documentation is available on demand for any compliance audit or legal review.

Real-Time Delivery via API

Records are delivered to your systems the moment they're captured — no batch delays, no stale data. Real-time delivery means you can reach high-intent prospects at the peak of their interest.

Suppression Matching & Deduplication

Before delivery, every record is matched against your existing suppression lists, do-not-contact databases, and prior campaign records to eliminate duplicates and protect your compliance posture.

Vertical-Specific Audience Targeting

Factua's targeting parameters are calibrated for H2M's six core verticals — including insurance, financial services, healthcare, legal, education, and staffing — with audience models refined from years of campaign performance data.

Data Enrichment for Existing Lists

Already have a database? H2M can enrich your existing records with updated contact information, behavioral signals, and intent scores through Factua — turning a cold list into an actionable pipeline.

Why Data Quality Is the Most Important Variable in Your Marketing

Up to 5x more effective - First-party data campaigns consistently outperform third-party data campaigns across key conversion metrics — because intent-captured data reaches people at the moment they're ready to act.

$12.9B

$12.9 billion lost annually - Estimated annual cost of poor data quality to US businesses — including wasted ad spend, failed campaigns, and compliance exposure from unverified contacts.
