Leedrush — June 2026 Update

When your batch finishes processing, you now get an email with the results summary: qualified leads count, total processed, and a direct download link. No more refreshing the dashboard to check if your batch is done.

New users now see a 4-step checklist on their first login: verify email, run first batch, explore the marketplace, and connect an integration. The checklist auto-hides once all steps are complete. Tracks progress in real time without requiring a page refresh.

If your credit balance hits zero, a full-screen upgrade prompt appears — linking directly to /billing and /plans. Also fires on real-time credit updates so users aren't surprised mid-session. Previously, running out of credits just silently blocked new batches with no guidance.

Fixed SQL placeholder inconsistencies in the Stripe webhook handlers and lifecycle email tasks. SQLite uses ? placeholders, PostgreSQL uses %s — some queries had the wrong placeholder for production, causing silent failures on subscription events. Now uses a unified PL variable from db_config that resolves correctly in both environments.

The onboarding activation check used datetime('now', '-N days') syntax which only works in SQLite and crashes on PostgreSQL. Replaced with Python timedelta calculations passed as query parameters — works correctly on both databases.

New standalone comparison page at /hunter-vs-leedrush targeting the "hunter.io alternative" search segment. Includes feature comparison table, pricing breakdown, FAQPage schema (4 questions), BreadcrumbList and SoftwareApplication JSON-LD. Cross-linked from all other comparison pages.

Apollo, Clay, and ZoomInfo comparison pages now each have BreadcrumbList and SoftwareApplication schemas with AggregateRating. Fixed canonical URLs. Added cross-links to Hunter.io page. All four comparison pages now point to each other.

All 10 blog articles now have "author": {"@type": "Person", "name": "Denis Solonin"} in their JSON-LD instead of a generic Organization. This is required for Google's E-E-A-T signals. Also added <meta name="author"> to each article. The /about page now serves as the author URL.

Added explicit Allow rules for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, and cohere-ai — all pointing to /llms.txt for product summary access. This ensures Leedrush content is indexed by AI answer engines (Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT) in addition to traditional search crawlers.

SDR Tools Stack and B2B Contact Database Quality Metrics were both under 550 words and at risk for thin content penalties. Both are now ~1,600–1,800 words with new sections: real tool recommendations, 3-person SDR stack example with costs, industry benchmarks table, and automated measurement guides.
