1. 00:00What D7 already checks

   D7 Lead Finder calls its emails partially verified. Here's the one check it leaves out, and how to run it on your export. D7's help center calls its emails partially verified, and it spells out what that covers. Right syntax and format. Known honeypots and spam traps. A domain that exists, with a server accepting email. Then its own large blacklists. Then comes the sentence this video is about. One check is left. A domain can be healthy while the person behind that address has moved on. D7 says that last check adds cost without much benefit, and suggests trying with and without. That's fair. So run one list through, and judge by what comes back.

2. 00:44Get the email into your file

   Before you export, open your filters. Under Choose What You See, every field has four settings. Set Email Address to View only on D7, and it stays out of your file. The same goes for Completely Hide. Two filters there keep the file tidy. Group multiple locations turns a chain's many branches into one lead. Hide Leads without Email drops rows you can't verify anyway. For a single search, open the list in History and choose CSV. For a bulk search, click View first, because XLS gives you Excel. And export while your plan is active.

3. 01:20Read the email column

   Now open the file. D7 says its emails are mixed: a name, a role address, or a webmail one. So you get its best pick for that business. D7's docs don't list the export's column names, so check your header. If you find two email columns, stack them. And don't delete info addresses on sight. D7's own article says that at a small shop, info can be the best address. At a big company, it's a poor choice.

4. 01:47Run the last check

   Upload each export to File List Verify. Every job stays under Files, in History. Open a job to watch it run. Slow mail servers get retried on their own. Results appear as they land, and an email tells you when it's over. Valid goes to your main campaign. Invalid means the mailbox failed, so take it out. Role gets a short, plain note. Catch-all stays small.

5. 02:12Close the loop

   Unknown waits. One more thing. D7's Leads Blacklist takes domains, phones and emails, and removes those leads from your exports. Add the addresses that came back invalid. Add the email, not the domain. A domain match hides the whole business, and it may still have a working inbox.

6. 02:32What it costs

   Our side of the bill is simple. Valid, invalid, catch-all and role take one credit each. Unknown, bad syntax and disposable take none. File uploads need a paid account, and one credit purchase opens them.
