You're Missing Out on Key Conversations
There are brilliant insights and unmissable opportunities hidden within the scores of government information released every day. But to effectively identify important signals and emerging opportunities, you need to filter out the noise and simplify research. You need to share alerts about what is important without the time and effort that manual searches require.
Ontopical Gives You a Wider Look at the Public Sector with an Insider's Edge
Our technology automatically surfaces the emerging opportunities and policy issues most important to your business from thousands of local government meeting agendas, minutes, videos, budgets and plans – ensuring that you and your team are always in the know.

You can filter your alerts by location, government level, time, population size, and more to make sure you get only what you need when you need it.

Sharing
Working in a team? Quickly capitalize on—and close—emerging opportunities faster with lead sharing.
Sometimes we find conversations that we need to share or want other team members’ input on, but how do we quickly share the context AND details without creating additional work? Your alerts will search millions of documents and find what you are looking for quickly by highlighting the sections that triggered the alert. Ontopical allows you to share these alert highlights with team members.

“The opportunities for lead alerts are amazing but being able to bridge gaps between my teams is a real game-changer. We might find 6-8 leads in a day and sharing that seamlessly with highlighted keywords to the sales rep takes hours of work off my plate.
