If you’re building a cold-calling or SMS list, a lead with no phone number is useless. The Phone Filter narrows your Google Maps results by phone presence.

​
What it does

The Phone Filter is a dropdown with three values:

​
Where to find it

The Phone Filter is in your Squid’s Advanced Settings. It defaults to all.
Phone Filter dropdown with all, with_phone, and without_phone options

​
What it costs

Set to with_phone or without_phone, it adds 0.2 credits per kept row (on top of the base 1 credit per row). Left at all, it’s free. Rows it drops cost nothing.

​
Use cases

  • Cold-calling and SMS campaigns → with_phone. Only keep leads you can actually dial.
  • Auditing coverage → without_phone. Find listings missing a contact number.

​
Common mistakes

  • Some real businesses don’t list a phone number on Google Maps — with_phone will exclude them.
  • You pay per kept row. Set to with_phone or without_phone, it adds 0.2 credits to every business you keep.
