What We Do

We Turn Chaotic Data Into Clean, Actionable Datasets

Whether you have 500 rows or 5 million — if your data is messy, inconsistent, or duplicated, you can't trust it. Our data cleaning experts use a combination of Python automation, manual validation, and AI-assisted enrichment to deliver spotless, structured datasets ready for analysis, import, or automation.

Duplicate Detection & Removal

We identify and eliminate exact and fuzzy duplicates across millions of rows using advanced matching algorithms — no manual guesswork.

Format Standardization

Phone numbers, dates, addresses, currencies — normalized to a consistent, universal format matched to your CRM or database schema.

Email & Phone Validation

Every email and phone number is syntax-checked, domain-verified, and flagged for deliverability — so you only market to real contacts.

Structural Reformatting

Split columns, merge fields, restructure flat files into relational tables, or transform wide-format data into long-format — all to spec.

Missing Data Handling

Blank cells filled via research, conditional logic, or clearly flagged for review — so your dataset is complete and honest.

Our Cleaning Pipeline — Step by Step
01 — Data Intake & Audit

We receive your raw file and run an automated audit — counting duplicates, blank cells, format errors, and outliers before touching anything.

→ CSV / XLSX / JSON / Google Sheets
02 — Duplicate Removal

Exact and near-duplicate rows identified and removed using both rule-based and fuzzy matching. You receive a removal log.

→ Python dedupe / FuzzyWuzzy / OpenRefine
03 — Format Standardization

All fields normalized — dates to ISO 8601, phones to E.164, addresses to postal standards, text to consistent case rules.

→ Custom Python scripts / Regex
04 — Validation & Enrichment

Emails verified, phones checked, missing fields researched or flagged. Optional enrichment from third-party sources available.

→ Hunter.io / NeverBounce / Manual Research
05 — Delivery & QA Report

Clean file delivered in your format of choice, alongside a full QA report showing exactly what was changed and why.

→ CSV / XLSX / JSON / Google Sheets
Problems We Fix

Every Data Problem We Eliminate

If your data has any of these issues, they're costing you time, money, and missed opportunities every single day.

01

Duplicate Records

The same contact, company, or product appearing 2, 5, or 50 times across your database — inflating counts, skewing analytics, and sending the same email twice to the same person.

CRM BloatEmail DupesInflated Lists
02

Inconsistent Formatting

Phone numbers in 12 different formats. Dates as MM/DD, DD-MM, and "Jan 5th". Country names as "US", "USA", "United States", and "U.S.A" — all in the same column.

Phone FormatsDate ChaosAddress Mess
03

Invalid Emails & Phones

Fake emails, syntax errors, disposable domains, and disconnected phone numbers that destroy deliverability, cause bounce rates to spike, and damage your sender reputation.

Bounce RateSpam TrapsInvalid Syntax
04

Missing & Blank Fields

Entire columns of empty cells — no job title, no company, no city. Data that cannot be segmented, personalized, or used for automation because critical fields are simply absent.

Empty RowsNull ValuesIncomplete Records
05

Wrong Structure & Layout

Data exported in the wrong shape — all info crammed into one column, first/last name combined, address in a single field, or columns in an order your CRM refuses to import.

Column SplitMerge IssuesImport Errors
06

Outdated & Stale Data

Contacts who changed jobs 3 years ago. Companies that no longer exist. Prices that haven't been updated since last quarter. Old data is worse than no data — it actively misleads.

This is what a typical client dataset looks like before and after our cleaning process. Every row fixed, every field verified, every format standardized.

03

Cleaning & Validation

04

QA & Accuracy Check

A second-pass quality review validates every change. We don't deliver until the data meets our 98%+ accuracy threshold.

05

Delivery + Report

Clean file in your chosen format plus a detailed QA report. What was removed, why, what was changed, and what needs follow-up.

Real Results, Real Clients

Businesses across e-commerce, SaaS, real estate, and marketing rely on ExtractHelp to clean the data that powers their growth.

"ExtractHelp cleaned our 80,000-contact email list before a major product launch. They removed 14,000 duplicates, validated every email, and delivered in 36 hours. Our bounce rate dropped from 18% to under 2%. Absolutely phenomenal result."

AL
Anna Lorenz
Marketing Director, PulseCRM

"We migrated our CRM from Zoho to HubSpot with 120,000 contacts. ExtractHelp cleaned, de-duped, and reformatted everything to HubSpot's exact import schema. Zero errors on import. What would have taken our team weeks took them 3 days."

DM
Daniel Morrison
Sales Ops Manager, TechForge Inc.

"Our property database had listings from 6 different MLS sources, all in wildly different formats. ExtractHelp standardized everything — addresses, prices, square footage, dates — into a clean unified schema. Now it imports flawlessly every time."

RC
Rebecca Chen
Data Lead, PrimeLand Group

"We sent them a 500,000-row product catalog from our WooCommerce store. Complete chaos — duplicate SKUs, inconsistent categories, mixed currencies, missing weights. They returned a perfectly structured file in 4 days. The QA report alone was worth the price."

NK
Nadia Krause
E-Commerce Director, NovaMart EU

"I was skeptical about outsourcing our clinical trial data cleaning. But ExtractHelp understood the compliance requirements, signed the NDA, and delivered a spotless dataset with a full audit trail. They know their stuff at a professional level."

JW
Dr. James Wu
Research Lead, MedInsight Labs

"We now use ExtractHelp on a weekly basis — every Monday morning, a fresh cleaned file arrives ready for our sales team to use. The recurring pipeline they built handles everything automatically. It's become a core part of our sales operation."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before sending us your data.

What file formats do you accept as input?

We accept CSV, Excel (XLSX/XLS), JSON, Google Sheets links, Airtable exports, and plain text delimited files. If your data is in a different format, reach out — we almost certainly support it or can convert it first.

What output formats do you deliver in?

Any format you need — CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets, Airtable, or a custom structure matched to your CRM's import template. If you use HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho, we can match their exact column requirements.

How long does data cleaning take?

Standard datasets (under 100,000 rows) are delivered in 24–72 hours. Large enterprise files are scoped individually after a quick audit. Rush delivery is available — just mention your deadline when you reach out.

Is my data kept confidential?

Absolutely. We sign NDAs for all projects, use encrypted file transfer, and delete your data from our systems after delivery. We never store, sell, or share client data under any circumstances.

Can you handle datasets with millions of rows?

Yes. We use Python, SQL, and cloud-based tools built specifically for large-scale data — not Excel, which breaks above ~1M rows. We've cleaned datasets with over 10 million records for enterprise clients.

What if I'm not happy with the results?

Every project includes a free revision round. Tell us what needs fixing and we'll rework it at no charge. If the issue is unresolvable on our end, we offer a full refund. See our Guarantees page for full details.

Can you set up recurring data cleaning?

Yes — we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring data cleaning pipelines. Your data arrives clean on a schedule without you lifting a finger. Ideal for CRM maintenance and email list hygiene.

Do you provide a report of changes made?

Always. Every project includes a detailed QA change log — what rows were removed, what fields were modified, what was flagged for review, and why. Full transparency is non-negotiable for us.
