Introduction:
Third-party email verification tools sometimes flag Selo AI-verified emails as invalid. This is because most tools cannot distinguish between valid and invalid catch-all emails. Many of the business emails from contacts that you prospect in Selo AI could have a catch-all domain, which can lead to excluding potentially qualified company domains from your pipeline. However, Selo AI has a built-in email verification process with a 93% email accuracy rate that can differentiate between valid and invalid catch-all emails. This article will guide you through Selo AI's email verification process and explain why it's a more accurate alternative to third-party verification tools.
Selo AI's Email Verification Process:
As a contact database provider, lead data is crucial for Selo AI's business. Providing accurate data and verifying emails are integral to the success of all Selo AI users. To maintain the highest level of data consistency and accuracy, Selo AI has a 7-step email verification process in place. This process takes advantage of Selo AI's large datasets.
Selo AI Datasets:
Selo AI collects and verifies data against multiple data sources to identify the best source of truth. Data sources include, but are not limited to:
- The Selo AI data contributor network
- Public data crawling
- Carefully vetted third-party data providers
By running checks against its large datasets, Selo AI can effectively verify emails in real-time, handle catch-all domains, predict email bounces, and automatically clean emails. Third-party email verification tools are unable to leverage such insights to gain the same level of accuracy and granularity when verifying emails.
The 7-Step Process:
Selo AI does not solely rely on SMTP tickling to confirm that an account may or may not exist. Selo AI goes one step further when verifying your emails. A large number of users email prospects daily through Selo AI to find and contact qualified leads and track the deliverability and success of their sequences. This means that Selo AI does not only use advanced technologies to run syntax, domain, and email checks to determine the validity of each email. Selo AI also leverages its insightful data to check and confirm if a real person is actively using an email. Within the 7-step email verification process, Selo AI can:
1. Check and validate emails against Selo AI-connected inboxes, CRMs, and CSV uploads
2. Track email delivery statistics
3. Monitor email bounce-rates
Therefore, when you request a verified email in Selo AI, you can be sure of two important points:
1. Selo AI can provide greater email coverage for contacts compared to third-party email verification services because it does not eliminate a valid email just because it belongs to a catch-all domain.
2. Selo AI has gathered ample evidence that the email does exist and will reach an actual person's inbox.
Email Accuracy Rates:
Selo AI-verified emails have an accuracy rate of 93%. Although it may be impossible to eradicate invalid emails entirely from your prospecting workflow, many factors contribute to Selo AI's 9% bounce rate. Due to the thorough, tried-and-tested verification process, invalid emails make up a very small portion of that percentage. Other factors include:
- If the recipient has configured their email settings to block incoming emails
- If the recipient's mailbox is full
- If the recipient's server is temporarily unresponsive
- If you have a negative email domain reputation.
Conclusion:
Selo AI's built-in email verification process offers a more accurate and efficient alternative to third-party email verification tools. With a 93% email accuracy rate and the ability to differentiate between valid and invalid catch-all emails, Selo AI ensures that you reach more of your ideal contacts while keeping your domain reputation intact. So, trust Selo AI's email verification process and improve the success of your email campaigns without the need for third-party tools.
