What Is Skip Tracing?
If you’re new to skip tracing it can be confusing to understand exactly what it means.
Skip tracing is the process of finding current contact information, such as addresses and phone numbers, to locate and contact someone. In the past, skip tracing was done by collection agencies and private investigators to track down people who were skipping out on a debt, under investigation, or in trouble with the law.
Today, the term skip tracing is used generally to describe the ways businesses can use public data sources, skip tracing software, and batch search services to find current contact information for the person they want to contact. To reach that person, a business might do searches and make contact with the relatives, neighbors, and associates of that individual.
Whether a business is skip tracing a prospect, lead, or customer, the goal is always to make contact with them. BellesLink gives small businesses access to premium public data searches and a contact manager that links and manages your work. BellesLink is the all-in-one people search platform that skip tracers and businesses have been looking for.

Find Right-Party Contact Information
You can find contact information for individuals in many places. You can do a web search, use social media, look up business and property records at a secretary of state website. These kinds of manual searches take time and may not always provide current or accurate information.
Skip tracing professionals use people search software to find current contact information. People search software allows you to search large databases of public information that a small business would not have access to any other way. These databases are updated constantly to be sure the information is accurate.
People searches are flexible, you can search on the information you have, such as a name, address, or phone number. To do a deeper search for the complete contact information on a person, you can also search their relatives, neighbors, and associates.
People searches makes it faster and more affordable to get accurate contact information, including mobile phone numbers, addresses, and emails, for a list of people with unclaimed funds.
- Web searches don’t always provide current or accurate information.
- Professionals use people search software to get the contact information of a person, their relatives, neighbors, and associates.
- People searches make it faster and more affordable to get accurate contact information.
Get Better Data Quality
The reason any business uses a people search is so they can locate and contact a person. If the contact information they get from their search is out of date or just plain wrong, that business is going to waste a lot of time and money calling the wrong people or mailing to the wrong addresses.

Use People Search for Skip Tracing
When you need to do a complete search to find contact information for an individual, their relatives, neighbors and associates, you’ll want to use people searches. People searches provide more types of information than a batch search and give you more opportunities to locate and contact a person.
People search can include these types of information:
- mobile and landline phone numbers
- addresses with related phone numbers
- email addresses
- associates
- relatives
- neighbors
- property records
There are six different types of people searches you can use, depending on what type of information you have to search with. BellesLink skip tracing software includes these types of people searches.
- Person search—start with a name and address
- Reverse phone number search—start with a phone number
- Reverse address search—start with an address
- Property search—start with an address or property number
- Business search—start with a business name and address
- Called ID Lookup—start with a phone number

Use Batch Search to Skip Trace Lists
If your skip tracing starts with a list of contacts, use Batch Search to search thousands of records at once and return detailed search results with current phone numbers, addresses, and emails. Batch Search is an efficient and affordable way to add phone numbers, addresses, and emails to your list of people.
Reasons to use batch search:
- Append current phone numbers, addresses, and emails to your existing list.
- Save time by searching thousands of records at one time, instead of individual searches.
- Avoid confusing spreadsheets. Use our contact manager to organize your list and search results.

Manage People Search Data With Contacts
Skip tracing creates a lot of contact data. In most platforms your search results come back to you in a spreadsheet format. Spreadsheets can be confusing and difficult to use so it’s good to have another option, like the BellesLink Contact Manager.
Instead of working with a spreadsheet, you can work with contact records, just like you do in your accounting or sales management software. Contacts are unlimited. Creating a workflow and having some tools to manage your contacts is what you need to put your data to work.
- Data from your people searches can be saved into a contact record.
- Contacts can be put into groups, organized with tags, and expanded with custom fields.
