Q: What is your match rate?
A: 6sense delivers one of the highest match rate in the industry. The match rate depends on the type of traffic you are seeing.

However, we are constantly making improvements to our data to boost the match rate so please don’t hesitate to give us feedback.
Q: Why is the data incorrect?
A: 6sense has the best in house data scientists, but we are only as good as our data that we receive.

Our machine learning algorithm is constantly getting better and will self-correct as we see more intent data on the B2B network.
