What kind of email address does Dropcontact provide?
Dropcontact exclusively provides professional nominative email addresses, meaning emails tied to an identified person, on a company domain.
Every email found is automatically verified and qualified before being returned to your file or CRM.
What type of email does Dropcontact provide?
Dropcontact does not provide:
- Personal email addresses (@gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com...)
- Generic addresses such as contact@company.com, info@, support@...
Dropcontact only provides nominative business emails, in the format firstname.lastname@company.com, generated and verified in real time by its algorithms.
💡 Dropcontact is a B2B solution. It isn't suited to enriching consumer-facing contacts (shopkeepers, tradespeople, liberal professions), whose emails are often personal.
How does Dropcontact qualify each email address?
Beyond finding an email, Dropcontact qualifies every address to tell you its nature and help you prioritize outreach.
| Qualification | Meaning | Our recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| nominative@pro | Verified professional email, tied to a person. Validity rate: 99%. | ✅ Usable without restriction in your campaigns. |
| catchall@pro | Professional email on a catch-all domain. Validity rate: 90%. Represents 30% of B2B opportunities. | ✅ Include them in your campaigns; they're often high-value, under-targeted contacts. |
| generic@pro | Generic address (contact@, info@, support@...), tied to a department rather than a person. | ⚠️ Avoid for personalized outreach. |
| nominative@perso | Personal address (Gmail, Yahoo...) already present in your file or CRM. | ⚠️ GDPR consent required for any commercial send. |
| invalid@pro | The domain exists but the address is incorrect. | ❌ Do not use. |
| invalid domain | The domain doesn't exist. | ❌ Do not use. |

What is the average email enrichment rate with Dropcontact?
Dropcontact finds verified business email addresses for 50% to 80% of your contacts, depending on your input data quality and target market.
To enrich a contact, only three pieces of information are needed: first name, last name, and company name (or its website, domain, or LinkedIn page).

Does Dropcontact verify the emails I already have?
Yes. If your file already contains email addresses, Dropcontact automatically verifies them and assigns a qualification (nominative@pro, catchall@pro, generic@pro, etc.).
If an address is invalid, it's moved to the "Note" column and Dropcontact attempts to find a new verified address instead.

Why not use another verification tool after Dropcontact?
Third-party verification tools (Zerobounce, Neverbounce, Bouncer...) can't properly handle catch-all domains. They flag emails as "risky" that Dropcontact has already validated with its advanced algorithms, which reduces your coverage without improving quality.
Verification is built directly into the Dropcontact enrichment process.
