Data quality

Every lead feeds the next step

The leads entering your CRM and marketing automation shape scoring, nurture and advertising audiences. A duplicate, an incomplete record or an incorrect contact detail affects the work that follows.

The Engine checks each lead against your programme’s specification before delivery. Your suppression lists and existing customers are applied across media partners, with duplicates removed across partners and against records you already hold.

99.8%Across our programmes, delivered records average 99.8% accuracy to spec.

Our technology

Built and owned by LeadScale

LeadScale built and owns the Engine. It runs in the LeadScale group’s publishing business for its own data collection and commercial activity, as well as in the programmes we deliver for clients.

The Engine works with business and consumer data. It can enrich and score records, apply programme filters and route them through several systems.

  • Checked

    Every lead goes through four quality checks, finishing with a review by one of our team.

  • Connected

    Our technical team sets up and tests each connection with you.

  • Secure

    LeadScale Engine is ISO 27001 certified.

Your data flow

From capture to your systems

Records enter from forms, events, media and existing systems. Every lead is checked, and the programme sets the other work the records need: deduplication, enrichment, scoring or routing.

Records go out to your CRM, marketing automation and other destinations. Checked leads and target accounts can also join LinkedIn and display audiences, usually within 48 hours of the first verified leads arriving.

Lead quality

Every lead checked

Every lead goes through these four quality checks, including leads from channels you run yourself. The criteria come from your programme.

  1. Data hygiene Fake names, profanity, malformed and incomplete records removed.
  2. Contact verification Email, phone and domain checked against several sources.
  3. Spec and duplication Job title, function, target accounts, suppression and company caps.
  4. Human verification On business contacts, a person checks the role and company are real and current.

SmartForms code added to your web forms stops fake and nonsense entries before submission. Customer-data and migration work uses the processing agreed for those records.

What the four checks cover Lead validation: the technical flow

Your Engine login

See your programme as it runs

Every client gets an Engine login, including teams that license it for channels they run themselves. You can work from three views:

  • Campaign view: delivery against plan, spend, and every rejected lead with its reason, with figures broken down by publisher, placement and date range.
  • Account engagement: the accounts reached through content syndication, email and display, their engagement and the cost of each channel.
  • Contact and account profiles: roles, seniority, career history and content downloaded, with account summaries and draft messages for your team to edit.

If you share CRM data with us, you can also see where each account’s leads sit in your funnel.

Security and data

Clear responsibilities for your data

LeadScale Engine is ISO 27001 certified, certificate 18666 (see certification scope). Programmes run to GDPR and UK GDPR, CASL, and CCPA requirements.

Each publisher is the controller of the data it collects. LeadScale acts as processor or sub-processor for you, or for your agency where the agency is the controller.

Working with us

Use it for channels your team runs

You choose which parts LeadScale runs. If your team already manages a channel such as display, you can license the Engine to check, connect and report on it alongside the parts we run.
