Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up lead scoring rules in Apollo.io.

Account scoring in Apollo io prioritizes high-value companies over individuals by evaluating firmographic "DNA" like size, tech stack, and industry. Here’s a quick setup guide:

‍

  1. On Apollo's main dashboard, go to the left-side panel and click Admin Settings.
  2. From the dropdown list, click on All Settings.
  3. Click on the Ideal Customer Profile from the left-hand side bar menu.
  4. From the dropdown list, select Scoring.
  5. Start building a new scoring model by clicking on the Create Score button.
  6. You’ll be prompted to give your model a clear Name and Score description.
  7. Click on the Next button.
  8. Click and drag a signal, such as High buying intent, into one of the priority buckets: Excellent, Good, or Fair.

📌 Why this matters

Setting up lead scoring rules transforms your prospecting from spray-and-pray to surgical precision. You'll automatically surface companies most likely to convert while your competitors waste time on dead-end leads.

The real power lies in compounding returns: as your scoring model learns which firmographic signals predict success, it becomes a self-improving system that gets smarter with every interaction. Instead of manually evaluating hundreds of prospects, you can focus your energy on the 20% that drive 80% of your revenue.
