Short answer

Account scoring is the practice of ranking companies by fit and engagement, combining firmographics, technographics, intent and activity across all contacts at the account. Unlike lead scoring, it evaluates the whole organization rather than individuals. Sales and marketing teams use the scores to prioritize target accounts and time outreach in account-based programs.
