Limitations: When Contact Verification Is Not a Fit
- • Contact verification does not create new leads—it validates existing data.
- • Verification accuracy depends on the quality and age of the original data.
- • Some contacts may pass verification but still be unreachable due to gatekeepers or preferences.
- • Real-time verification requires an active connection and may have rate limits for very large lists.
