Overview of SuppressionList

Learning Objectives

• Understand what a SuppressionList is
• See how SuppressionList is used in practical scenarios

Overview

Summary:
SuppressionList enables real-time duplicate checks of incoming leads against any list—such as do-not-call lists, fraud lists, or existing-customer lists—to support immediate decision-making. It stores contact identifiers like phone numbers and emails, and through its fast integration with LeadConduit, you can instantly determine whether a record appears on a list and when it was added. This provides a simple, flexible solution for duplicate detection and customer-status validation.

Why It Matters:
SuppressionList enables buyers to not purchase duplicate leads and allows them to filter leads that meet user-defined criteria across multiple offers with one SuppressionLIst query step.

Practical Examples

Example 1:
A lead buyer queries SuppressionList for all leads post to them in order to discovery and reject duplicates. This helps them avoid paying for the same lead multiple times.

Example 2:
When pinged a lead, a bidder checks a list to ensure that the provided zip code is in their serviceable area.

Implications & Applications

Key Takeaways:
A SuppressionList is essential for maintaining legal compliance and respectful customer communication. It plays a crucial role in minimizing legal risks, protecting the sender’s reputation and avoiding wasted marketing spend by stopping unwanted leads from making it further down the funnel.

Practical Applications

• Steer clear of consumers on your do not contact lists.
• Avoid paying for duplicate leads
