What it is
Contact enrichment adds information to a record you already have. You might enter only an email address, and the tool finds the person's job title, the company's size, its website and its industry. Attio, Close, Folk, Freshsales, HubSpot, LinkedIn, Nutshell, Pipedrive and Salesforce are examples of tools that list this. Coverage and quality differ.
Why it matters
Typing in company details by hand is slow and often left incomplete. Enriched records help you sort leads, personalise messages and route them to the right person. You need this when many contacts arrive with little information, for example from website forms. Enriched data can be out of date or wrong, so it should support your judgement rather than replace it.
What to check
- Ask where the data comes from and how often it is refreshed.
- Check whether enrichment is included or charged by use, and how many lookups you get.
- Test it on a sample of your own contacts and see how many are correct.
- Find out how the vendor justifies holding this data under privacy law and how a person can ask to be removed.
