How ProfileSpider Lists Work
Learn how ProfileSpider lists work: saving extracted profiles, organizing leads with tags and notes, local storage, exports, and backups.
Quick answer
ProfileSpider lists let you save extracted profiles, people, companies, and leads inside the extension. Lists, saved rows, tags, and notes are stored locally in your browser. Export important lists to CSV, Excel, or JSON if you want to back them up, move them, or share them.
Overview
What Lists Are For
Lists help you turn one-off extractions into organized lead workflows.
Save profiles
Save extracted people, profiles, companies, or leads instead of losing them after one page scrape.
Group leads
Use separate lists for different clients, campaigns, niches, sources, regions, or research projects.
Add tags
Use tags to segment rows by source, status, client, market, role, campaign, or priority.
Add notes
Add manual context such as fit, next action, qualification status, or research comments.
Enrich rows
Run enrichment on eligible rows where useful, using website, profile, or social URLs.
Export later
Export saved lists to CSV, Excel, or JSON when the list is ready.
Workflow
How to Use Lists
The normal workflow is extract, save, review, enrich, and export.
1. Extract a page
Run ProfileSpider on a public page with visible profiles, companies, listings, or leads.
2. Save rows
Save useful extracted rows to a new or existing list.
3. Name the list clearly
Use names that describe the project, client, source, campaign, niche, or region.
4. Add tags
Tag rows so you can recognize source, status, role, client, region, or campaign later.
5. Add notes
Use notes for manual review, qualification, outreach context, or next actions.
6. Export the list
When the list is ready, export it to CSV, Excel, or JSON.
Organization
Good Ways to Structure Lists
A clear list structure makes export, review, and follow-up easier.
Create separate lists for different clients, campaigns, or research projects.
Use list names that include the niche, source, region, or date when useful.
Use tags for status, priority, source, role, client, or workflow stage.
Keep source URLs so you can trace rows back to the original page.
Use notes for context that does not belong in a standard field.
Review the list before enrichment, email finding, or export.
Examples
Example List Types
You can create lists around the way you actually work.
Sales prospecting

Recruiting
Example: frontend-engineers-berlin, ai-researchers, or client-acme-shortlist.
Company research
Example: german-cybersecurity-vendors or ecommerce-tools-market-map.
Agency clients
Example: client-acme-fintech-q3 or client-northstar-local-seo.
Events
Example: saas-summit-sponsors or websummit-speakers.
Local leads
Example: barcelona-dentists or amsterdam-fitness-studios.
Fields
What a List Can Contain
The exact fields depend on what the source page exposes and what you add later.
People fields
Names, titles, companies, departments, locations, profile URLs, emails when visible, and social links.
Company fields
Company names, websites, descriptions, industries, locations, emails when visible, and profile links.
Source fields
Source URLs, website URLs, LinkedIn URLs, social links, and other profile links.
Tags
Labels you add for source, status, campaign, client, role, region, priority, or workflow stage.
Notes
Manual context, review comments, qualification notes, next actions, or outreach reminders.
Enriched fields
Additional details added through enrichment or email finding where available.
Credits
List Actions That Do Not Use Credits
Creating a list.
Saving extracted rows to a list.
Renaming a list.
Adding tags to saved rows.
Adding notes to saved rows.
Exporting saved lists to CSV, Excel, or JSON.
Credits
List-Related Actions That Can Use Credits
Saving and organizing is free. Processing new data can use credits.
Page scraping
A normal page scrape uses 1 credit per page, regardless of how many profiles are found within your plan cap.
Enrichment
Enrichment uses 1 credit per URL opened. Bulk enrichment uses 1 credit per eligible page in that flow.
Email finding
Person email finding uses 3 credits per verified email returned. No valid result means no charge.
Duplicates
How Duplicates Work in Lists
ProfileSpider can help identify duplicates within already-saved profiles through exact matches across stored fields.
This is useful for reviewing repeated rows from the same source or from multiple extractions.
ProfileSpider does not import external CSV files and does not dedupe against a client master list inside the extension. For suppression lists or external master-list dedupe, export your data and compare it outside ProfileSpider.
Storage
Where Lists Are Stored
Saved profiles, lists, tags, and notes are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.
They are not stored as cloud CRM records on ProfileSpider servers.
Because lists are local, export important lists to CSV, Excel, or JSON before clearing browser data, uninstalling the extension, changing devices, or resetting your browser profile.
Teams
How Lists Work with Team Credits
Team credits and saved lists are separate concepts.
A team credit pool lets selected members spend shared subscription and top-up credits, but it does not automatically make saved local lists shared across the team.
If you need to share a list with another team member or a client, export it to CSV, Excel, or JSON and share the file through your normal workflow.
Best practices
Best Practices for Lists
Create one list per campaign, client, source, role, niche, region, or project.
Use tags for status, priority, source, client, or next action.
Use notes for manual review and context that does not fit into standard fields.
Keep source URLs so every row can be verified later.
Review duplicates before exporting.
Export important lists regularly as a backup.
Troubleshooting
Common List Issues
Duplicate rows
Some pages repeat the same profile or company. Review duplicates inside the saved list before export.
Missing fields
Empty fields usually mean the source page did not expose that data. Use enrichment or email finding where useful.
List missing after browser cleanup
Saved lists are local. If browser data is cleared, local lists can be removed. Export important data regularly.
Team member cannot see my list
Team credits do not automatically sync saved local lists. Export the list if you need to share it.
