A focus group is a qualitative market research method in which a trained moderator leads a small group of participants, usually 6 to 8, through a structured discussion about a product, concept, message, or market. Unlike surveys, focus groups reveal why people think what they think, and how opinions form and shift through group interaction. In a B2B context, participants are decision-makers, end-users, and category experts, making focus groups powerful for concept testing, messaging, and market validation.
Cost depends on the number of groups, participant seniority, and screening complexity. You only pay for the research you commission, there's no subscription. Get an instant estimate with our price calculator →

Yes, most Nexus focus groups are run online over secure video. Virtual groups let us assemble the right participants from anywhere, keep costs down, and let your team observe live. We also arrange in-person groups where a project calls for it.
Standard B2B focus groups consist of 6 to 10 participants per session. For hard-to-reach or highly specialised audiences, we run mini groups of 4 to 6 participants, which allow richer per-participant depth while maintaining group interaction dynamics.
Every participant completes a detailed screener aligned with your criteria. We verify responses and confirm attendance 48 hours prior. No-shows are replaced same-day when possible.
