Create a company list from Companies Hub

To create a company list from Companies Hub:

  1. Go to your ad account in Campaign Manager.

  2. Click Plan on the left menu, then click Companies.

  3. If you’ve connected your CRM through your Business Manager, confirm that Engagement is selected from the Show dropdown menu in the upper-right corner. This feature isn't available for the Revenue view.

  4. Sort and filter your Companies Hub. Learn how to customize your Companies Hub using filters.

  5. When you’ve created your list, click the Save as a company list button at the top. You can choose to create a:

    • Dynamic list - New companies that match your applied criteria will be added automatically.
    • Static list - Will only include the selected companies.
  6. Optional: In the Your audience is being generated dialog, click the Add to ad set button to add your company list to an existing ad set or create a new ad set.

  7. After you finish filtering, you can click the Export button to download your list as a CSV file.  

    • Keep in mind, your exported list has a maximum of 5,000 rows.
  8. To create a new list or start over, click the Reset filters button at the top. 

Here's a tip

If you create a dynamic list, your list of companies will update automatically based on your selected filters for the selected time range. If you create a static list, your list will be fixed and won’t update. 

Results: Check the status of your company list 

After you’ve created your company list, you can use it in your ad set immediately, but it can take up to 48 hours to generate.

To check the status of your list:

  1. Go to your ad account in Campaign Manager.

  2. Click Plan on the left menu, then click Audiences.

  3. Confirm that Matched is selected at the top.

  4. Your audience should appear in your Matched Audiences list. You can also search by Audience name, or you can filter the Source column by Company List Segment to narrow down your options.

  5. Your audience is built when the Status column shows Ready.

Optional: Create a quick company audience

From Companies Hub, you can also create a quick company audience focused on brand engagement or lead generation to use in your ad sets without having to manually filter. Learn how to create a quick company audience.
