This month, we added 12,127,274 and updated 296,955,362 contact records. The April Data Dictionary and Contact Counts can be found here! That also includes some big enhancements to help our customers navigate our data and application:
Company Active RUID: Duplicate and suppressed records used to be a dead end but not anymore. We’re launching a new Smart Mapping feature that identifies the active version of any contact via their LinkedIn URL or RUID. What’s Changing? Whenever you query an inactive contact, we’ll do the heavy lifting to find the Active RU ID and return the most up-to-date professional profile available.
Ownership Status: We are beefing up this key field in the contact datasets on 153,426,778 records. This was once strictly sourced by domain type, but now we are adding data provided by the company on their social pages.
- Public Company Company owned by public shareholders; shares traded on stock exchange.
- Educational Institution focused on education (schools, colleges, universities).
- Self Employed Individual who owns and runs their own business alone.
- Government Agency Organization owned and operated by federal/state/local government.
- Non Profit Organization that operates for a mission, not owner profit.
- Self Owned Business fully owned and controlled by one person (sole proprietor).
- Privately Held Company owned by private individuals or small group; not publicly traded.
- Partnership Business owned and run by two or more people who share profits/losses.
RUID on Technologies: For those who subscribe to our technology file, we will be adding a Company RUID to the record. This will help better align the technology to the RampedUp company universe.
Web Source URL: We added 1,263,3456 web source urls this month. That is a great signal showing a diversified data sourcing methodology.
Coming Soon - Personal Websites: This contact data field will be in a Q2 release to help our customers assign additional details about the contact.
- Personal Link to the individual's general personal website or homepage.
- Company Link to the individual's own company or business website.
- Blog Link to the individual's personal or professional blog.
- RSS Link to the individual's RSS feed for blog posts or updates.
- Portfolio Link to the individual's online portfolio showcasing work samples, projects, or designs.
- Other Any other personal website that does not fit the above categories.
Email Validation: We will add a new status of FREE MAIL to our B2B email validation statuses. FREE MAIL is a personal email address that a contact uses for professional purposes. We are adding this new status because the number of professionals that use this type of email address has become more prevalent, especially for the self-employed. In addition to the new status, we will provide a web source url for validation purposes.
