Account Lists
Organize target companies into lists for scoring, tracking, and account-based prospecting.
Account lists are collections of companies grouped for a specific purpose — a target account list, a segment by industry, or a set of companies for a particular campaign. They work like lead lists, but contain companies instead of people.
Create an account list
- Go to Lists in the left sidebar.
- Click Add List.
- Choose Account List.
- Enter a name (e.g., "Enterprise SaaS — US", "Q2 Target Accounts").
- Click Create.

Add accounts to a list
From the accounts table
- Go to Accounts.
- Select companies using the checkboxes.
- Click Add to List in the floating action bar.
- Choose an account list.
From an import
Import accounts directly into a list:
- Open the account list.
- Click Import in the toolbar.
- Choose an import method (LinkedIn URLs, company search, Sales Nav, or CSV).
- Imported accounts are added to this list automatically.
See Import Accounts for details.
Create a list from selection
- Select accounts in the accounts table.
- Click Create List in the floating action bar.
- Name the new list.
- The selected accounts are added immediately.
View an account list
Open an account list to see:
- All accounts in the list with their ICP scores
- ICP configuration — the criteria used for scoring
- Import history — past imports into this list
Each account shows its name, industry, staff count, location, lead count, and ICP score for this list.
Remove accounts from a list
- Open the account list.
- Select accounts to remove.
- Click Remove in the floating action bar.
Removing an account from a list doesn't delete it from your database — only the list membership is removed.
Account lists vs. lead lists
| Account lists | Lead lists | |
|---|---|---|
| Contains | Companies | People |
| ICP scoring | Evaluates company attributes | Evaluates person attributes |
| Used in campaigns | Indirectly — find leads at target accounts | Directly — campaigns pull leads from lists |
| Import sources | Company URLs, company search, CSV | LinkedIn search, post engagers, CSV |
From accounts to campaigns
Account lists don't plug directly into campaigns (campaigns work with lead lists). The workflow is:
- Create an account list with your target companies.
- Score the accounts to prioritize.
- Find leads at those companies using Company Search signals or by browsing account detail pages.
- Add leads to a lead list for campaign enrollment.
- Launch a campaign targeting the lead list.
Alternatively, use a Company Search signal linked to your account list — Obert automatically discovers decision-makers at your target companies and routes them to a lead list.
