Your phone list is the foundation. Dead numbers, wrong geographies, and uncleaned lists undermine every campaign.
Every Converso event begins with a clean, verified, geographically targeted phone list. Our data services ensure you're calling the right people — active numbers only, in the right postal codes, ridings, and wards, with full CRTC compliance built in.
A disconnected number doesn't just fail to ring. It wastes your budget and deflates your participation rate.
If your phone list has 20% dead numbers — disconnected lines, ported-out numbers, wrong geographies — you're paying to reach nobody on 20% of your calls. And because those calls never connect, your participation rate calculation looks worse than reality. A clean list means every dial counts.
Your list is only as good as what you know about each number.
Is it active? Is it a landline or mobile? Is it in the right postal code for your event? Is it on the do-not-call list? These aren't optional data points — they are the difference between a successful engagement campaign and an expensive one that fails to reach its audience. Converso answers all four questions before your campaign begins.
Six data services that make every campaign more effective.
From validating whether a number is active to building a geographically targeted list from scratch — each service is designed to maximize the value of every dial.
Active Number Query
Carrier-level validation of each phone number on your list. We query whether the number is currently active, the line type (landline, mobile, VoIP), and porting status. Invalid numbers removed before your campaign begins. No wasted dials. No deflated participation rates.
Learn more →Geographic Targeting
Map numbers to postal codes, forward sortation areas (FSAs), federal and provincial ridings, municipal wards, and health authority regions. Converso geolocates your entire list so you can target events at exactly the right geography — municipality, ward, riding, or region.
Learn more →Phone List Cleaning
Full list hygiene: duplicate removal, formatting normalization, dead number removal, invalid format correction, and do-not-call scrubbing. Delivered as a clean, campaign-ready file with a data quality report showing exactly what was found and fixed.
Learn more →Do-Not-Call Compliance
Automated scrubbing against the CRTC National Do Not Call List and Converso's own maintained suppression registry — applied before every campaign. Compliance documentation provided. Your organization protected. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Learn more →List Rental — Targeted Geography
Don't have a phone list for your target area? Converso can source a geographically targeted list for your municipality, riding, postal code cluster, or region. Lists provided clean, validated, and ready for outreach — landlines and mobiles available by geography.
Learn more →Reporting & Analytics
Post-processing data reports showing list composition, active vs. inactive numbers, geographic distribution, line type breakdown, and suppression match rate. The intelligence your team needs to understand your audience and improve future campaigns.

The City of Toronto's 2025 budget telephone town hall called 288,521 numbers — every one of them validated, geolocated, and CRTC-scrubbed before the campaign. The result was a 36.15% participation rate — the highest Converso has ever recorded across any event. A clean list doesn't just reduce waste. It transforms outcomes.
"The City of Toronto's participation rates are among the highest we've seen anywhere in Canada. That doesn't happen by accident — it starts with knowing exactly which numbers are worth dialing." — Converso Production Team, City of Toronto Budget Consultation, 2025
Government of Alberta — 4.1M numbers processed across an 8-year annual budget series
Every year from 2016 to 2024, Converso prepared and processed the phone list for the Government of Alberta's annual budget telephone town hall. Approximately 180,000 households per event, cleaned, validated, geolocated, and CRTC-compliant. 4.1 million total dial attempts. Not one compliance failure in eight years.
The trust of the people we serve.
"Our previous vendor gave us a list that was almost 30% dead numbers. Converso cleaned it before our first event and the difference in participation was immediate. We now know our list is worth what we pay for it."
"We needed numbers geolocated by provincial riding for our advocacy campaign. Converso delivered a clean, targeted list mapped to every riding in the province. The geographic precision made our outreach much more effective."
"The CRTC compliance documentation Converso provides has been invaluable. Our legal team requires suppression records for every campaign. Converso delivers them as a standard part of every data package."
