FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should SaaS companies block personal emails?
Usually not by default. Blocking personal emails can reduce conversion and hide real buyers. Enrichment offers a lower-friction alternative.
Can every Gmail signup be enriched?
No. The right approach is to enrich when signals are reliable and leave unknown users as unknown when confidence is low.
How is personal email enrichment used operationally?
Teams use it for onboarding paths, ICP scoring, lifecycle segmentation, sales review queues, and cleaner activation reporting.
