How state filtering works
Every order can be filtered so you only receive contacts that live in the states you are licensed in. You choose this at checkout, in the Filter Specific States section after you add the product to your cart on the shop page!
What you will see at checkout
Do you need your file filtered to your licensed states? *
No filtering needed — I use all the default states▾
Leave it as it is and your file is built from the full default list. Switch it to the filtering option to pick only the states you are licensed in.
The default states
Unless you choose otherwise, your file is built with these 30 states automatically:
AlabamaArkansasColoradoDelawareFloridaGeorgiaIowaIllinoisIndianaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMarylandMichiganMissouriMississippiMontanaNorth CarolinaNebraskaNevadaOhioOklahomaSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVirginiaWisconsinWest Virginia
Free add-on states
You can add any of these to your order for free in addition to the default states:
New YorkNew JerseyMassachusettsCaliforniaConnecticutWyomingPennsylvaniaHawaiiArizonaWashingtonOregon
Extra Information
State filtering is only applied when you actively select the filter option at checkout. If you leave the dropdown on No filtering needed, your file is built from the full default list.
The more states you run, the better the data. A wider pull means a bigger pool to draw from, so the records that land in your file are fresher and there are more of them to work. Narrowing to a handful of states does the opposite.
We do not run orders under 15 states. Below that the pool gets too thin to fill an order at the standard we hold, so 15 states is the floor on every order.
