Tips to Improve Your Skip Trace ROI

Verify Input Data Quality

Adding owner name + mailing address improves match rates. Clean your list before submitting to maximize hit rates.

Hit Rate vs Accuracy

Hit rate is data returned; phone accuracy is working phones. A high hit rate with low accuracy wastes money on bad numbers.

Account for DNC Filtering

10-20% of valid phones may be on Do Not Call lists or belong to known litigators. Always scrub before calling.
