A-Leads ensures that every lead you unlock is real, valid, and actionable. We don’t just collect data from static databases — we verify it live in real-time using a multi-layered process, combining public sources, partnerships, human verification, and automated checks. This guarantees the highest accuracy and deliverability for your outreach.

🔍 What Data We Collect & Verify

A-Leads captures a broad range of person-level, company-level, and behavioral attributes:

Person-Level Data

  • Job Title, Seniority, Department, Function
  • Location, Job Location, Skills
  • LinkedIn profile, Job Experience, Current Job Duration
  • Education: University, Major, Certifications
  • Recommendations, Languages, Language Proficiency

Company-Level Data

  • Industry, Sub-industry, Company Keywords
  • Headquarters, Number of Employees, Company Type
  • Ownership, Public/Private Status, B2B Indicator
  • Funding Data: Last Funding Date/Type/Amount, IPO Date, Acquired Date
  • Annual Revenue, Technologies Used

Behavioral & Web Data

  • Website Traffic: Monthly Visits, Pages per Visit, Avg. Visit Duration
  • Bounce Rates, Rankings: Global / Country / Category
  • Product Availability: Pricing, Free Trial, Demo, Downloadable, Mobile App
  • Online Reviews, Documentation Availability
  • Bombora Buying Intent, News Article Keywords
  • Job Postings & Dates

🌐 Sources We Use

We pull and verify data from 15+ trusted public sources, including: Glassdoor, Crunchbase, Xing, LinkedIn, Wellfound, Owler, GitHub, Indeed, Docker Hub, Product Hunt, StackShare, Chrome Web Store, Craft, and more.

Additionally, we leverage:

  • Public Web Crawling: corporate websites, news articles, SEC filings, press releases, government registries
  • Third-Party Partnerships: public company records, business directories, social media feeds
  • Human Verification: in-house research team investigates any contact info not found automatically

🕵️‍♂️ The Three Layers of Verification

1️⃣ Syntax & Format Check

Every email and phone number goes through automated checks for proper formatting.

Examples:

  • Emails → Must contain “@” and a valid domain
  • Phone Numbers → Correct country code and digit count

✅ This catches typos and obviously invalid data before any credits are spent.

2️⃣ Domain & SMTP Verification (Email Alive Check)

  • Emails are checked against their domain to ensure the server exists
  • Real-time SMTP validation confirms the address is live without sending an actual email

✅ Emails flagged as inactive or likely to bounce are excluded

3️⃣ Proprietary Catch-All Detection

Some domains accept all emails (catch-all), which can falsely appear valid.

  • A-Leads uses intelligent catch-all detection to confirm deliverability
  • Prevents wasting credits on emails that might bounce

📱 Mobile Numbers Verified Separately

Mobile numbers undergo carrier validation and activity checks, including:

  • Format & number validity
  • Line activity status
  • Detecting VoIP or landlines if needed

✅ Only active mobile numbers count against your mobile credits (1 number = 15 credits)

💡 Real-Time Verification Advantage

Unlike traditional databases:

  • No stale data → Every contact is verified the moment you unlock it
  • No wasted credits → Invalid emails or numbers are never charged
  • High deliverability & connection rates → Leads are fresh, verified, and ready for outreach

📊 Verification Results You Can Expect

  • Triple-Verified Emails: <1% bounce rate
  • Mobile Number Accuracy: 15–30% higher connection rates than static lists
  • LinkedIn & Job Data: Cross-checked to confirm current role and company

🚀 Key Takeaway

A-Leads’ combination of multi-source data collection, live enrichment, and triple verification with catch-all detection means you only spend credits on leads that work. This ensures:

  • Less wasted time chasing bad data
  • Higher outreach success rates
  • Confidence in every contact you unlock
