Texas Lead Coverage

Overview

BlueClerk automatically finds and adds potential customers (leads) for you across Texas. Our system scrapes Google Places for contractors in 16 major Texas cities, with 4 updates throughout each day. New leads are added every 6 hours, and a dedicated enrichment process runs hourly to find contact emails for your leads.

Questions

Q: How often are new leads added? A: Every 6 hours (4 times per day), with each run covering all 16 Texas cities and 4 rotating trade types.

Q: How do you find email addresses? A: An hourly enrichment process visits contractor websites, checking the homepage and multiple common contact pages (/contact, /contact-us, /about, /about-us) to extract email addresses and phone numbers.

Q: Why don't all leads have emails? A: Not all contractor websites include email addresses publicly. We're working to increase the enrichment rate from 2% toward 30%+ by checking more pages and improving extraction.

Q: Can I request specific cities or trades? A: Currently, the system covers all 16 Texas markets and rotates through all 14 trade types automatically. Contact support if you need expanded coverage.

Q: What happens to leads I don't contact? A: They stay in your leads list indefinitely. Mark them as "Not Interested" if you want to hide them from your active list.

Q: How do I know when new leads are enriched with emails? A: Check the "Enriched" filter in the Leads list to see which leads now have contact information. The enrichment status updates automatically after each hourly run.
