Find current contact details for people from names or numbers

Give it a list of names, phones, or emails and it finds current contact details and saves them to a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats keeps polling for results; runs once per each person in the list.

The problem it solves

You have a list of people to reach, maybe past leads, property owners, or contacts who've gone quiet, but their phone numbers and addresses are outdated or missing. Tracking down current contact information one person at a time takes forever.

Who it fits

A real estate investor, skip tracer, or collections team that needs current contact details for a list of people.

How it works

  1. You provide a list of names, phone numbers, or email addresses
  2. The system submits a search job for each person to a people-search service
  3. It checks back periodically until the search finishes
  4. Results are downloaded and duplicate records are removed
  5. Clean contact details are written into a Google Sheet
What you get

People you can reach on the first try

Hand over a list of names or numbers and get back current, verified contact details ready to use in your spreadsheet.

What you get

A Google Sheet of current phone numbers, emails, and addresses for the people you searched.

What you need

A ScraperCity account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
