- **Starting price:** From $750

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Export a full backup of your contacts
- Run the CRM’s built-in duplicate finder
- Decide which record wins: newest, most complete or owner-assigned
- Merge in small batches and spot-check
- Fix forms and integrations so they match on email
- Turn on duplicate checks for future imports

Common causes

- Imports from several lists
- Forms creating new contacts instead of updating existing ones
- Integrations syncing both ways
- The same person using different email addresses
- Staff entering contacts by hand

If thousands of records, several systems or years of customer history are involved, plan the cleanup so nothing important is lost.
