Google Places
The companies database that LeadBoxer uses for enrichment is large and very accurate. But there are many (smaller) companies out there that are not, and will never, make it into the main databases we use such as Linkedin or any of the other sources we use.
For that reason we support the Google Places API for improved enrichment of smaller local companies.
Meaning that if you add a Google maps API key, we will use the Google API to enrich your leads with the places company details like address, domain, and phone number.
