How to use Skrapp to enrich your B2B contacts with accurate company data

If you work in sales, recruiting, or growth, you know how much time gets wasted chasing bad contact info. You need accurate emails and company data, not wild guesses. That’s where Skrapp comes in. It promises to help you find business emails and enrich your contact lists with company details. But does it actually work, and what’s the best way to use it without making a mess of your CRM?

This guide is for anyone who wants to get legit company data for B2B outreach—without spending hours on LinkedIn rabbit holes or cleaning up exports. We’ll walk through Skrapp step by step, call out what works, and flag what to skip.

What Skrapp Actually Does (and Doesn’t)

Before diving in, let’s be clear: Skrapp is a lead enrichment tool. Its main jobs are:

  • Finding business email addresses based on names and companies
  • Grabbing company details (like size, industry, website) for each contact
  • Letting you bulk-enrich lists or look up contacts one by one

What Skrapp doesn’t do:

  • Guarantee 100% accuracy (no tool does)
  • Magically guess personal email addresses
  • Replace the need to double-check data if quality matters

If you want to add real company info to your B2B contacts—fast—Skrapp can help. But you’ll want to follow some best practices, and know its limits.

Step 1: Set Up Your Skrapp Account

You can try Skrapp for free, but you’ll need to create an account:

  1. Head to Skrapp’s site and sign up. The free plan gives you a limited number of monthly email lookups—enough to test the waters.
  2. Confirm your email. This keeps your account active and lets you use the tools.
  3. Take a peek at your dashboard. You’ll see credits remaining and navigation for Email Finder, Domain Search, and Lists.

Pro tip: Don’t buy a plan until you’ve tested the results on a small sample. Some industries and regions get better data than others.

Step 2: Choose How You Want to Enrich Contacts

Skrapp gives you a few ways to find and enrich contacts:

  • Chrome Extension: For pulling emails directly from LinkedIn profiles and search results.
  • Bulk Upload: For uploading a CSV of names and companies to enrich in one go.
  • Manual Search: For looking up one person or company at a time.

Here’s how to pick:

  • If you’re prospecting on LinkedIn, the Chrome extension is the fastest.
  • If you already have a list of names/companies, use Bulk Upload.
  • If you just want to look up a handful of people, go manual.

Ignore the “API” unless you’re a developer or want to automate things at scale. Most users never need it.

Step 3: Find and Enrich Contacts

Let’s tackle each method so you can pick what fits your workflow.

A) Using the Chrome Extension (for LinkedIn Power Users)

  1. Install the Skrapp Chrome extension from their site.
  2. Log in to LinkedIn and browse to a profile, search results page, or Sales Navigator list.
  3. Click the Skrapp icon—either on a profile or in the LinkedIn toolbar.
  4. Skrapp will scan the page and try to find business emails for visible profiles.
  5. Click “Save” to add found contacts to a Skrapp List, including company info.

What works: Fast for building lists from LinkedIn. You get company, title, and email together.

Watch out for: Sometimes it can’t find emails, especially for smaller companies or people with private profiles. You’ll still burn credits on each search.

B) Bulk Upload (for List Owners)

  1. In Skrapp’s dashboard, go to “Bulk Email Finder.”
  2. Upload a CSV with columns for first name, last name, and company domain or name.
  3. Map your columns as requested.
  4. Hit “Start” and wait—processing can take a few minutes, especially for big lists.
  5. Download your enriched list as a CSV, now with company data and (if found) emails.

What works: Great for cleaning up old lists or prepping for a campaign.

Watch out for: Garbage in, garbage out. If your original data is messy—misspelled names, wrong companies—you’ll get poor results. Also, Skrapp won't “fix” bad info for you. Clean your list first.

C) Manual Search (for Spot Checks)

  1. Use the “Email Finder” tool in the dashboard.
  2. Enter a person’s name and company, or just a company for a domain search.
  3. Review the returned data—usually an email, plus company details if available.

What works: Double-checking a few key contacts or doing a test before uploading a big list.

Watch out for: Tedious for large lists. Use it when accuracy matters for a handful of records.

Step 4: Scrub and Export Your Enriched Data

Don’t just dump Skrapp’s output straight into your CRM or outreach tool. Here’s why:

  • False positives happen. Some emails “look” right but don’t actually work.
  • Duplicates sneak in. Especially if you run multiple batches.
  • Company fields may be inconsistent. Industry names and company sizes are often broad or generic.

How to clean up:

  • Spot-check a random sample of emails. Use an email verifier (Skrapp offers basic verification, but tools like ZeroBounce or NeverBounce are more robust).
  • Standardize company fields if you plan to filter or segment by industry, size, etc.
  • Remove obvious junk or generic addresses (like “info@” or “sales@”) unless you really want them.

Pro tip: Set up a process for flagging bounced emails after your first campaign. Feed that feedback into your future enrichment runs.

Step 5: Push the Data Where You Actually Need It

Once your list looks good, you’ve got a few options:

  • CSV Export: The simplest move. Download from Skrapp and import into your CRM, email tool, or spreadsheet.
  • Direct Integrations: Skrapp supports some platforms (like HubSpot), but most users just use CSV.
  • Zapier/API: For automating more complex workflows—but honestly, it’s overkill for most small teams.

What to skip: Don’t try to connect everything in real time unless you’ve got a good reason. Manual imports are less risky and give you a chance to review the data first.

What’s Accurate—and What’s Not

Here’s the honest rundown based on real-world use:

  • Skrapp is solid for U.S. and European business emails, especially from LinkedIn.
  • Company names, industries, and sizes are “good enough” for segmenting, but not forensic-level precise.
  • You will get some misses—especially for startups, people who’ve changed jobs recently, or non-English names.
  • Don’t expect much for personal emails (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). Skrapp focuses on business domains.

If you need 100% verified data, layer in a dedicated email verifier and maybe a second enrichment tool for mission-critical contacts.

Pro Tips to Get the Most from Skrapp

  • Always test on a small sample before running a big list. Saves you credits and headaches.
  • Don’t rely on one source. Cross-check with LinkedIn or your own research for key deals.
  • Watch your credit usage. Skrapp charges per lookup, even if it doesn’t find an email.
  • Be careful with GDPR and email outreach laws. Just because you can get an email doesn’t mean you should email it.

When to Skip Skrapp (and What to Use Instead)

  • If you mostly need personal emails (not work addresses), Skrapp isn’t for you.
  • If you’re prospecting outside the U.S./Europe, expect mixed results.
  • For ultra-specific company data (financials, deep org charts), look at tools like ZoomInfo or LinkedIn Sales Navigator—but expect to pay a lot more.

Final Thoughts: Keep It Simple and Iterate

Don’t overthink it. Skrapp is best as a fast, “good enough” tool to get business emails and company basics into your workflow. Start with a small batch, check what comes out, and only scale up once you trust the results. No tool is magic, but with a little cleanup and common sense, you can save hours of copy-pasting—and spend more time actually talking to prospects.

Got a better way to use Skrapp? Test it, tweak it, and stick with what works. That’s how you get ahead—no hype required.
