Single Skip Trace: Look Up One Owner

Single Trace is the fastest way to skip-trace one owner: type a name and a property address, click Run Trace, and read the result on the same page a few seconds later. You will find it in Dashboard → Skip Tracing → Single Trace.

When to use Single Trace vs. Bulk

Use Single Trace for one-off lookups: a driving-for-dollars find, a call that just came in, or spot-checking a record before committing to a bigger list. Its results are shown inline as a view-only table — there is no CSV download and no add-on selection. If you have more than a handful of records, or you want add-ons like DNC/TCPA flags and custom output columns, upload a list with Bulk Skip Tracing instead.

Individual vs. Company / LLC

A toggle below the form switches the trace between two modes, and the two are priced differently because entity tracing does more work — resolving the LLC or trust to the people behind it before finding their contact info:

In Company mode the first-name field becomes Company Name — enter the full entity name there. Your exact prices are always shown live next to the Run Trace button, along with your balance after the trace, before you confirm.

Filling in the form

1. Name — first name is required (or the company name in Company mode); last name is optional for individuals.
2. Property address — street address, city, two-letter state code, and ZIP are all required. This is the address the owner is matched against, so accuracy matters more than anything else on the form.
3. Mailing address (optional) — expand the Mailing Address section if you know the owner's mailing address, such as a PO box from county records. It can improve the match when the owner does not live at the property.

Reading the result

When the trace completes, the result appears directly below the form as a single-row table with the standard output columns: primary phone, additional mobile and landline numbers, emails, and the matched mailing address. If no match is found, the row comes back empty — the trace still ran, and single traces are charged whether or not a match is returned.

History

Every single trace is saved to the history list below the form on the same tab, separate from your bulk job history. Use it to re-check a past lookup without paying for the trace again.

Billing notes

• The credit cost (2 or 6 by default, depending on the toggle) is charged when the trace runs.
• Unmatched lookups are not refunded.
• Credit purchases are non-refundable per the Terms — see Credits & Billing for how balances work.

Automating single lookups

The same lookup is available programmatically as a synchronous endpoint — POST /api/v1/trace returns the matched contact fields as a flat JSON object, which maps cleanly into CRMs and workflow tools. See the skip tracing API guide to get started, and the GoHighLevel guide if you want traces triggered from your CRM.
