Our Contact Management Process

Database Audit

We analyze your contact database for duplicates, incomplete records, invalid emails, inconsistent property values, and unstructured segments. We quantify the scope of data quality issues and prioritize cleanup efforts by impact.

Cleanup & Deduplication

We merge duplicate records, standardize property values, remove bounced and invalid emails, and fill critical data gaps. Your database gets a thorough deep clean that immediately improves deliverability and reporting accuracy.

Segmentation & Lifecycle Design

We design smart lists and active segments based on your marketing strategy and sales process. We configure lifecycle stage definitions with automated progression rules that keep contacts moving through your funnel accurately.

Ongoing Hygiene Automation

We build workflows that continuously enforce data quality: deduplication alerts, property validation, lifecycle stage progression, re-engagement triggers for stale contacts, and suppression lists that keep your sends clean.

Key Benefits

Clean contact database

We identify and merge duplicate records, standardize property values, remove invalid emails, and establish validation rules that prevent dirty data from entering your system. The result is a database where every record is unique, complete, and trustworthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find and merge duplicate contacts?

We use a combination of HubSpot's built-in deduplication tools and custom matching logic based on email address, company domain, phone number, and name patterns. For large databases, we run matching algorithms that identify duplicates even when data is slightly different, such as John Smith and J. Smith at the same company. Every merge preserves the most complete data and retains all activity history.

How often should we clean our HubSpot database?

We recommend a thorough cleanup quarterly with ongoing automated hygiene running continuously. The automated workflows we build catch most issues in real time, including new duplicates, bounced emails, and missing required fields. Quarterly reviews catch structural issues like segment drift and lifecycle stage accuracy that automation alone does not address.

Will cleaning our database affect our email sends and automation?

Positively. Removing invalid emails and duplicates improves your deliverability rates and sender reputation. Your automation becomes more accurate because it is working with clean data and properly segmented lists. The only short-term effect is that your contact count may decrease as duplicates are merged, but that number was artificially inflated to begin with.

What segmentation strategies do you typically recommend?

We typically build segments around three dimensions: engagement level, which identifies your most active contacts for priority outreach; lifecycle stage, which segments by funnel position for targeted nurturing; and ideal customer profile fit, which scores contacts based on how closely they match your best customers. These segments then power everything from email campaigns to sales rep prioritization.
