Verify Leads, Transactions and Customer Data with New Confidence
TARGUSinfo Email Verification
The traditional approach to email confirmation has typically been validation — meaning confirming syntax, domain and username. The TARGUSinfo verification process takes this a step further by evaluating the authoritative linkages between an email address and a name, address, and phone number. The output of the service is an Email Verification Score that measures the likelihood that an email address belongs to a specific individual. The service also provides more traditional validation, including whether the emails syntax and domain are valid.
