An account is the business record a sales or customer team works with.

## Why it matters

Keep company activity organized around the business relationship.

## Illustrative example

Several contacts and opportunities may belong to one company account.

## What to check

An account is not the same as a person or a single sales opportunity.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
