LeadEi automatically prevents duplicate companies from being added to your database.
How It Works
We check for duplicates using:
- Exact domain match: Same website domain
- Normalized domain match: Handles www vs non-www, trailing slashes
- Fuzzy name matching: Catches similar company names
- Cross-tenant isolation: Your duplicates don't affect other tenants
What Happens When a Duplicate is Found?
- The duplicate is not imported
- The existing record is preserved
- You see a "duplicate" count in import results
- No credits or quotas are consumed
Managing Duplicates
If you suspect false duplicates:
- Go to Admin > Duplicates
- Review potential duplicate pairs
- Merge or dismiss as needed
Best Practices
- Use consistent company naming
- Ensure website domains are accurate
- Review the duplicates queue periodically
