Built-in contact append covers cell phones, emails, 40+ demographic attributes, and property records, with DNC scrub running in the same flow. Pay-as-you-go at $0.10 per matched record. Top up the wallet, run the list, and the appended fields land back on the contact records.
— What it appends
Pick the append type you need, run the list, and get charged only for matches. Phone, email, demographics, and property records each become a separate $0.10 line item per match.
/01 — PHONE
Name and address returns verified cell phones, with phone-type detection flagging landline, cell, or VOIP for TCPA compliance. DNC scrub runs in the same call, so a second vendor isn't required.
/02 — EMAIL
Verified email addresses tied to the contact record, useful for long-form follow-up, donor receipts, and proposal delivery. Match rates typically run 50-70%.
/03 — DEMOGRAPHICS
Age, income, homeownership, education, ethnicity, marital status, and household composition all flow into the AI Script Coach so the talking points adapt to who's behind the door.
— How billing actually works
Enrichment is the one Beacon feature that isn't bundled into your tier. It's metered, transparent, and only billed when a match is returned. Top up the wallet via Stripe, run the list, and matches append to the contact records.
— How a list gets enriched
The same flow runs whether you're appending 500 names or 50,000.
/01
Add credit via Stripe. Most programs start with $50-$200. The wallet balance shows on the enrichment screen and rolls over month to month.
/02
Choose phone, email, demographics, or all three, then select the contact list (a campaign, a CSV import, or your whole database).
/03
The job runs in the background and records are appended in place. You're charged only on matched returns, never on misses.
/04
Cell phones, emails, demographics, and DNC flags sit on every contact record, and AI Script Coach uses those demographics on the doorstep.
— FAQ
Q / 01
$0.10 per matched record on every plan, with no monthly minimums and no subscription. Phone, email, and demographic appends are each billed separately, and DNC scrub is included with phone append at no extra cost.
Q / 02
You're only charged for matches, so if a phone, email, or demographic record can't be found for a contact, no charge applies. Phone match rates typically run 60-80% and email 50-70%.
Q / 03
Yes. DNC scrub checks every number against the national registry, phone-type detection flags cell vs landline vs VOIP for TCPA cell-phone rules, and DNC contacts are flagged on the record automatically.
Q / 04
Yes. Configure auto-enrichment at the campaign or org level and new CSV imports run through the append pipeline in the background. By the time canvassers open the walk list, reachable contacts have phone and demographics already attached.
— Start enriching
Open a Beacon account, drop in your CSV, top up the enrichment wallet, and run phone plus demographics in the background. Most programs see match rates settle in under an hour.
