Why is RocketReach finding fewer contacts?

What causes it?

1. People who asked for their data to be removed drop out of search results.

   In the RocketReach help: If a covered individual has requested removal of their data, the individual will no longer be findable in our search. I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, read 2026-11-12.

2. Profiles that lack detail or cannot be confirmed as active professionals are hidden, so they do not count among results.

   In the RocketReach help: For data quality purposes, we hide profiles that do not meet our standards (lacking sufficient detail, low relevancy, not confirmable as a real & active professional, etc.). I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, read 2026-11-12.

3. If your account is set to professional emails only, personal addresses are hidden, so fewer people come back with an email.

   In the RocketReach help: See only professional email addresses; personal type will be hidden and unavailable How to set what kinds of email addresses you see, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

1. Check how many different filters a search uses, since each one narrows the results further.

   In the RocketReach help: Using multiple different filters will use "AND" logic. How do I find contacts with the Advanced Search filters?, read 2026-11-12.

2. If your team uses a suppression list, look at how many contacts it has matched and suppressed.

   In the RocketReach help: This page also shows the number of contacts matched and suppressed. Exclude contacts from Search with a Suppression List | Enterprise, read 2026-11-12.

How does RocketReach work with Feder?

• Connect RocketReach to Feder and it joins your Interest apps.
• When you connect RocketReach, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in RocketReach, one of your Interest apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in RocketReach.
