Built from Real Mailing Industry Experience
Geolist was created by Sharp Cat Ltd, a UK mailing house that has worked in direct mail since 2003.
The original purpose of Geolist was simple: help Sharp Cat provide more accurate property data to its mailing clients.
Geolist was not originally built as a software product. It began as a service-led data system designed to help ensure campaigns were planned against real, mailable properties before anything was printed, processed or posted.
Since Geolist started in 2014, the focus has remained the same: get the data right first, then build the tools that make that data easier to access and use.
We believe accurate campaign planning starts with accurate data. A mapping platform is only as good as the data behind it.
Over many years, we have developed systems, processes and verification methods designed to improve the accuracy of mailing data, property counts and campaign selections.
That real-world experience is what makes Geolist different. The platform was shaped by genuine campaign requirements, operational mailing work and real client planning problems.
Today, Geolist supports mailing houses, leaflet distribution companies, printers, agencies, political campaign teams, consultants and businesses planning their own campaigns.
Our focus is simple: help businesses get their message to real, mailable properties.
Why Geolist Data Is Different
Accurate Property Data for Direct Mail & Leaflet Campaigns
It starts with the data.
Geolist combines trusted UK data sources including Ordnance Survey, ONS, Royal Mail and other specialist datasets, then cleans and enhances them for one clear purpose: accurate direct mail and leaflet distribution planning.
This is what separates Geolist from ordinary data sources.
Our focus is not simply supplying records. Our focus is helping businesses plan campaigns against real, mailable properties. The goal is simple: help make sure every item is planned against a real, deliverable letterbox.
Geolist data is built specifically for direct mail.
It helps users understand property counts, delivery areas, campaign volumes and geographic coverage before anything is printed, quoted or mailed. Built for leaflet campaigns, door drops, campaign planning and geospatial targeting.
For many campaigns, confidence matters.
When selecting an area, businesses need confidence that property counts are accurate, mailable properties have not been missed, campaign volumes are realistic and data has been checked and verified.
Poor data wastes money.
There is little point printing, processing or posting mail to properties that are missing, incorrect or not properly mailable. Bad data can lead to missed delivery opportunities, wasted postage, wasted print costs, inaccurate campaign volumes and incorrect client quoting.
Geolist helps reduce that risk.
Our data is checked, updated and verified by the Geolist team to help provide reliable campaign planning information before production begins. We also provide direct mail and leaflet-focused demographic indicators to help campaign planners better understand the likely characteristics of an area or property group.
Geolist data is designed to support responsible and compliant direct mail and leaflet campaign planning workflows, including campaigns that require GDPR-aware data handling processes.
Our job is to help get your message to the right letterbox. Your creative team's job is to make it stand out when it lands on the doormat.
Campaign Planning Tools & GIS Support
Geolist gives businesses different ways to access accurate UK property data, from quick postcode counts through to advanced campaign planning systems and managed GIS support.
Whether you want to plan campaigns yourself or have our team manage the work for you, Geolist is designed to support direct mail, leaflet distribution and geospatial campaign planning.

Free DataCounts is a simple way to see Geolist data in action. It is ideal for quick checks, early campaign planning and fast property count estimates.
The free tool works primarily at postcode level, making it suitable for quick estimates and early-stage planning. For more accurate and detailed campaign planning, Geolist Wholesale and our GIS Team Service use more advanced data and mapping methods.

Geolist Wholesale gives trade users a professional way to plan campaigns, check property counts, manage customer area requests and prepare accurate campaign selections.
Draw any shape on a map, get instant counts, save projects and prepare campaigns before data is ordered. Access is £60 including VAT per month and includes a 7-day free trial. When address data is required, it can be purchased separately at wholesale trade rates.
GIS Team Service
For clients who do not want to use the tools themselves, the Geolist GIS team can manage the mapping, counting and data preparation work for them.
You send us the area, brief or boundary file — we do the work. Our team can draw campaign areas, process shapefiles, check property counts, prepare demographic insight, build accurate datasets and prepare presentation-ready mapping.
We can also load supplied shapefiles into shareable mapping systems, making it easier to review campaign areas internally or present plans to clients. This service is ideal for businesses that want accurate results without the hassle of managing mapping tools or GIS workflows themselves. The Geolist GIS team is experienced, practical and genuinely hands-on. We enjoy solving complex mapping and campaign planning problems and are used to going the extra mile to help get campaign areas right. From simple campaign counts through to complex GIS projects, work can be tailored to your requirements and budget.
Cactus — Full Campaign Support
Geolist provides the data and planning tools.
If you require the full service — including campaign planning, data selection, mailing, fulfilment or door drop support — we can connect you with a Sharp Cat account manager.
Using Cactus and Geolist data, Sharp Cat can help manage the wider campaign process from planning through to delivery. This is ideal for businesses that want campaigns professionally managed rather than using the tools themselves.
