# Adding Accounts

> Add accounts to WhiteWhale from a domain list, CSV upload, or let the suggestion engine surface the best-fit companies. Start monitoring signals in minutes.

There are two ways to add accounts: paste a list of domains directly, or use the Signal Suggestion Engine to find the best accounts from a larger list. Both start from the **Accounts** page in the left nav.

## Option 1: Add a list of domains

Use this when you have a list that fits within your account limit — assigned accounts from your CRM, closed-lost deals, a target list, or anything else.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Accounts page and click Add Accounts">
    You'll see a text box where you can paste company domains.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste your domains">
    Paste them in any format — comma separated, line by line, straight from a CSV dump. WhiteWhale will clean them up automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add tags (optional)">
    Label the batch with a tag like *Enterprise Targets*, *Closed Lost*, or *Hunting* to keep your list organized.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add">
    WhiteWhale will start scanning the accounts immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Option 2: Find the best accounts from a large list

Use this when you have more domains than available credits and want WhiteWhale to identify which accounts are worth adding first.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Paste your full list of domains">
    Add all the domains you have — even thousands. WhiteWhale will scan the entire list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Advanced Settings">
    Click **Advanced Settings** below the domain input box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set how many accounts to add">
    Enter the number of accounts that fits your credit limit. WhiteWhale will scan the full list and pick the best matches based on your signals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add">
    The top-scoring accounts are added to your active list. The remaining accounts — if they're a strong fit — are moved to your Account Suggestions so you can review them later or add them when you have more credits.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Not sure which accounts to prioritize from a big list? This is the right approach. Let WhiteWhale do the filtering — it's faster and more accurate than manually sorting by hand.
</Tip>

## Option 3: Account Suggestions

WhiteWhale can also recommend net-new accounts you haven't thought of yet based on your signals and ICP. See [How Account Suggestions Work](/how-account-suggestions-work) to set that up.
