HOW IT WORKS
Useful, with honest limits.
Match
When the online provider is connected, the app compares the name and optional location with real businesses.
Confirm
You choose the correct match and review every field before saving.
Enrich
Industry codes are suggestions. Employee counts and decision-makers require a licensed business-data provider.
PRIVACY
Photos stay local in this first version.
Only the corrected business name and optional coordinates are sent for online matching. Scout never sends your photograph to the lookup provider.
