Spokeo Key Features

- Email lookup, returning the full name associated with it and several social media accounts.
- Phone lookup returning records linked to a landline or mobile.
- Address lookup, to find current and previous residents, ownership, property details, etc.
- Username search, where you will find all handles by that name – though not necessarily owned by the same individual.
Pros of Spokeo
- Long-standing, reliable product well known in the USA.
- Combines offline and online data including business details, property information, criminal records, etc.
- Searches diverse types of databases, returning more results than the industry average.
Cons of Spokeo
