What is reverse email lookup?

Email lookup tools streamline your lead generation process, qualify leads and personalize outreach.

Beyond the email owner’s name, advanced reverse email search tools can reveal additional background information, including social media profiles, aliases, employer details, telephone numbers and more, helping you focus on high-value prospects likely to convert.

How does reverse email lookup work?

Reverse email lookup can be done at different levels.

For example, you can do an email lookup by simply typing a contact’s email address into the Google search bar to verify the person’s name and see what else it returns.

A more comprehensive approach uses something like Pipedrive’s Smart Contact Data and Prospector – dedicated software that scans millions of public records and social media profiles.

How does reverse email lookup save time?

Email reverse lookup also helps improve email deliverability. By verifying unknown email addresses with a lookup reverse address tool, you can avoid responding to fake emails or sending emails to the wrong address.
