How to Remove Contacts or Subscribers From Keap Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1:
First, from the homepage, navigate to the reports section within the home sidebar located towards the bottom left hand corner of the dashboard as illustrated below. Click on reports.
Step 2:
After clicking on the reports screen, you should be available to see a multitude of report options within the Keap reports section. Scroll down until you come across an option labeled “Unsubscribe tracker” within Keap. Click on the unsubscribe tracker option as seen below.
Step 3:
After clicking on the Keap unsubscribe tracker option, a menu option box should appear that displays your search criteria. This menu box displays the each possible options a contact would have unsubscribed. Here you have the option to filter your search results based on the displayed criteria.
The best option for most people is to select all criteria/reasons for unsubscribing. We select all in order to ensure we remove all unsubscribed/ uninterested contacts from the Keap contact list regardless of reasoning as they are occupying a contact space that could rather be filled with a contact that is in-fact interested.
Select all options for unsubscribing then, select the range of dates you wish to search through. Oftentimes it makes most sense to chose a date that was near the inception of your contact list in order to remove all contacts that have unsubscribed.
After following these two steps, proceeded to press the search button as featured in the graphic below.
Step 4:
After selecting the desired search criteria, a list of contacts that have been unsubscribed to your emails within Keap should appear. In order to delete and remove these contacts you must remove the email associated with the contact because Keap bases its contact allotment on the number emails within your contact list.
To delete the contact efficiently, highlight and copy the email associated with the contact within the search results page and paste it into the search bar displayed at the top of the Keap dashboard as shown below.
Then, highlight and copy the email of the contact that is to be deleted.
After copying the email address, paste it into the Keap search bar located at the top of the search bar.
Step 5:
After pasting the email into the search bar, click the contact profile. A screen displaying the contact’s information will appear. Click on the profile icon (a big circle above the contact information) to edit the contact information as seen below.
Step 6:
After clicking on the contact profile, the contact information will be displayed again. Navigate to the upper right corner of the screen and select the edit option.
Final Step:
After selecting the edit contact option you will have the ability to edit the contact’s information. Scroll down to the bottom of this page where you will find the “delete contact” option within Keap. Select the delete option and continue.
