  2. Clean up repeat listings

  3. Check against your existing lead list

    Look for a matching business using available listing details, phone number, or a name-and-location comparison.

  4. Find public company details

    For new businesses, look for a likely company website and a relevant contact address when one is publicly available.

  5. Record the research outcome

    Add new businesses with their available details and note when the search found a phone number but no email address.

  6. Tell the team what changed

    Share a brief update when a new contractor is added or an existing listing is skipped as a duplicate.

Something to build on.
