Implementation Steps
- 1
Define ideal customer profile (ICP)
Document: company size, industry, technology stack, growth signals, and buying triggers that indicate fit.
- 2
Set up scoring model
Assign points for: website visits (1-5), content downloads (10), pricing page (20), demo request (50), ICP fit (30).
- 3
Integrate data sources
Pull signals from: website analytics, email engagement, CRM activity, intent data providers.
- 4
Route scored leads to sales
Hot leads (80+ score) → immediate outreach. Warm (40-80) → nurture sequence. Cold (<40) → marketing automation.

Calibrate model monthly
Compare predicted scores to actual conversion. Adjust weights for signals that predict conversion vs those that do not.
Expected Metrics
Ehsan's Recommendation
Lead scoring models are only as good as their calibration. Most companies set up scoring, never validate it, and wonder why sales complains about lead quality. Surfer SEO can automate both the scoring and the calibration — analyzing which scored leads actually converted and adjusting weights accordingly. The companies doing this well recalibrate monthly and achieve 80%+ forecast accuracy.
