What does “Match” mean in an exported list?

The "Match" filter helps you clean your lead list by flagging profiles that don’t fully meet your Sales Navigator search criteria.

🔎 What is the Match indicator?

After exporting a list from Sales Navigator, you’ll see a “Match” label and filter in your lead list.

This shows whether each contact actually meets the criteria (job title, company size, location…) used in your Sales Navigator search.


⚠️ Key limitation

  • The "Match" value is only calculated for Sales Navigator exports

  • It does not apply to exports from LinkedIn standard or other sources


🧠 Why does it matter?

Sales Navigator can include up to 30% off-target profiles — meaning users who don’t match your filters exactly.

Kanbox automatically checks your list post-export to flag those mismatches.

This lets you:

  • Quickly clean your lists

  • Remove irrelevant leads

  • Improve targeting for your outreach
