Import Leads From a Spreadsheet
The fastest way to see LeadScore AI work is to feed it the list you already have. Imports run as background jobs. File size, plan capacity, data quality, and provider availability affect processing time and results.

CSV or Excel both work. You do not need perfect columns — the guided import maps your fields and asks the right questions on the way in. Bring names, emails, phones, companies, and any context columns you have.
What Happens During Import
- Duplicates merge automatically — emails, phones, domains, and social handles act as identity keys
- Available email checks can return valid, invalid, unknown, or error; review unresolved results before sending
- Phone checks can normalize numbers and return line-type or reachability information; a result is not permission to call or text
- Completed scoring results help prioritize leads against your ICP; review the explanation and any missing data
Watch It, or Walk Away
Imports are server-side jobs with live progress and cancel. Close the tab, come back later — the work keeps going, and invalid records stay visible and flagged rather than silently deleted.
Test a small sample first. Review the import result and usage balance before expanding; lead storage, research, and verification can have different allowances.
