Company profile specialties
Beyond the primary industry classification, LinkedIn company pages include a "Specialties" field—an open text field where companies list specific capabilities, product lines, or focus areas (e.g., "enterprise SaaS", "AI-driven analytics", "cold-chain logistics").
Specialties do not appear as a dedicated filter in Sales Navigator, but they're indexed in keyword search. If you're targeting a niche capability that spans multiple industries, use the keyword filter alongside industry selection to surface companies listing that specialty.
For example: filtering "Computer Software" + keyword "customer data platform" will catch SaaS vendors specializing in CDP even if they're broadly classified as "Software".
How Sales Navigator categorizes industries
LinkedIn Sales Navigator categorizes industries using a hierarchical taxonomy derived from member profile data and company page self-classifications—each company is mapped to one or more industry labels, which Sales Navigator then uses to power its search filters.
Each company listed on LinkedIn is associated with one or more industry categories, allowing Sales Navigator to filter and segment effectively.
This categorization is continuously refined to reflect global economic shifts and emerging sectors.
How to effectively utilize industry filters in Sales Navigator
Mastering industry filters is fundamental to effective lead generation. How can you leverage these filters for maximum impact?
1. Step-by-step guide to applying industry filters
Access Sales Navigator. Log in to your LinkedIn Sales Navigator account.
Initiate a Lead Search or Account Search. Click on "Lead filters" or "Account filters" to begin a new search.
Locate the "Industry" Filter. Scroll down the filter options until you find "Industry."
Select Target Industries. Click on the "Industry" filter. A drop-down list will display a list of categories.
You can search for specific industries by typing in the search bar or browse the hierarchical list. Sales Navigator allows you to select multiple industries.
Apply Filters. After making your selections, click "Apply" or "Add" to implement the filters into your search results.
2. Combining industry filters with other search criteria
Industry filters are most powerful when combined with other search parameters. Consider augmenting your industry selection with:
- Job Title/Seniority: Target specific roles within your chosen industries (e.g., "VP of Sales" in "Software").
- Company Headcount: Focus on companies of a particular size (e.g., 500-1000 employees in "Financial Services").
- Geography: Restrict your search to specific regions or countries.
- Keywords: Use keywords to find individuals or companies with specific skills, interests, or technologies (e.g., "AI implementation" within "Healthcare").
- Growth Rate: Identify rapidly expanding companies within your target industries.
This layered approach refines your search, delivering highly qualified leads directly to your pipeline.
How to update your LinkedIn industry
If your company page or personal profile lists the wrong industry, you're filtering yourself out of relevant Sales Navigator searches. Here's how to fix it.
For your personal profile
- Go to your LinkedIn profile and click the Edit icon (pencil) in the top section.
- Scroll to Industry in the intro card.
- Select the industry that best matches your role or business from the dropdown.
- Click Save.
Your profile now appears in industry-filtered searches that match your selection.
For a company page
- Navigate to your company's LinkedIn page and click Admin tools (top right).
- Select Edit page.
- Scroll to Company details and find the Industry field.
- Choose the most accurate V2 industry category from the dropdown.
- If your company spans multiple sectors (e.g., FinTech crosses Finance + Technology), pick the primary one—LinkedIn's taxonomy allows only one official industry per company page, but the keyword and specialty fields can capture cross-category nuances.
- Click Save.
Sales Navigator will index the updated industry within 24–48 hours. If you're a prospect running filters, you'll now appear in searches for that sector.
Pro tip: Pair your industry update with relevant keywords in the "Specialties" field (company pages) or "About" section (profiles) so you surface in keyword-filtered searches even if your primary industry classification is broad.
Export industry-filtered leads with Evaboot
Once you've mastered how to filter prospects by industry in Sales Navigator, the next step is turning those search results into actionable outreach lists.
That's where Evaboot comes in. Evaboot is a Chrome extension that lets you export your filtered leads from Sales Navigator in one click—complete with verified emails and enriched company data.
Let's say you've narrowed your search to decision-makers in the "Professional Services" industry with 11–50 employees in the U.S. Instead of manually copying profiles or using basic CSV exports, Evaboot lets you export up to 2500 leads daily from LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Here is how to extract all your leads from Sales Navigator.
Install the Evaboot Chrome extension.
Click on the "Extract with Evaboot" button.
Choose to export with or without email lists, and hit "Launch export".
This way, Evaboot becomes an email finder tool that enriches the lead list with quality data.
Name your export list.
Hit export your leads and wait for the result.
Once the extraction is over, you can download the CSV by clicking the download icon.
Choose the list type that you want to download. And you're done.
You get a CSV file with all the necessary data information.
This is an excellent feature for using cold emails or conducting multichannel outreach campaigns for better results.
That being said, lead data is not static. B2B data decays by 2.1% per month, meaning 22.5% of your exported leads could be outdated within a year. Job titles change, companies evolve, and outdated information leads to wasted outreach efforts.
To solve this, Evaboot offers LinkedIn profile URL Enrichment: a tool allowing you to upload Linkedin URLs stored in your CRM to enrich your LinkedIn contacts with Sales Navigator data.
How it works:
Log in to your Evaboot account and go to the "URL Enrichment" feature.
Upload an old list of LinkedIn or Sales Navigator URLs.
Name your CSV file.
Launch enrichment.
Wait a few minutes while the data updates, then download your refreshed list as a CSV file.
And here you go! We recommend updating your lead lists every 3-6 months to maintain accuracy. This ensures your database stays fresh, relevant, and effective—so your sales efforts never go to waste.

Use AI to amplify industry-based prospecting
AI tools now layer directly on top of Sales Navigator's industry filters, automating what used to require manual guesswork and analyst time. Here's what's newly possible in 2026.
Auto-generate industry filter combinations from plain-English ICP descriptions
Instead of manually picking from 434 industry codes, AI-powered filter generators let you describe your ICP in natural language—"US SaaS decision-makers in FinTech, 50-200 employees"—and auto-map it to the correct Sales Navigator industry + filter URL.
Why this matters now. Generator tools can translate free-text ICP descriptions into valid Sales Navigator industry filter URLs in one click, removing the guesswork of choosing among 400+ industry codes.
How to use it. Copy your ICP one-liner into an AI prospecting tool (e.g., Clay, Apollo AI workflows, or Sales Navigator API integrations). The tool returns a pre-built Sales Navigator search URL with industries, headcount, seniority, and geography filters already applied. Open the URL, review the results, and export with Evaboot.
This shortcut is especially valuable for agencies or sales ops teams managing multiple ICPs—you skip the manual taxonomy navigation for each client.
Enrich industry-filtered exports with intent signals and buying stage
AI sales platforms now ingest Sales Navigator industry-filtered lead exports and layer on intent scoring, technographic signals, and predicted buying stage—turning a static list into a prioritized outreach queue.
Why this matters now. 2026 AI sales platforms ingest Sales Navigator industry-filtered lists and score leads by intent, previously a manual analyst task.
How to use it. Export an industry-filtered list from Sales Navigator via Evaboot (CSV). Upload it to an AI sales intelligence platform (e.g., 6sense, Gong Engage, or HubSpot Sales Hub with AI features enabled). The platform appends intent signals (recent funding, job posts, tech stack changes, web activity) and ranks leads by likelihood to buy.
You end up with a scored, segmented list—"high intent CFOs in FinTech, 100-500 employees"—ready for personalized outreach.
Use Sales Navigator's AI lead recommendations to expand your industry filter
LinkedIn has integrated AI-for-sales capabilities directly into Sales Navigator that recommend accounts beyond a single industry code, addressing the "my industry isn't listed" problem.
Why this matters now. Sales Navigator's AI features now surface adjacent-industry accounts based on ICP context, catching cross-listed industries like FinTech or Biotech that span sectors.
How to use it. Run an industry-filtered search in Sales Navigator (e.g., "Computer Software" + "Marketing & Advertising" for MarTech). Check the "Recommended" tab in your search results—Sales Navigator's AI will surface lookalike accounts that didn't match your exact filter but share firmographic + behavioral traits with your selections. Review the recommendations, add relevant ones to your list, and export the combined set with Evaboot.
This expands your addressable market without requiring you to manually guess which adjacent industries to include.
Conclusion
Choosing the right industry filters on LinkedIn isn't just a detail: it's a growth lever. It determines who sees your profile, who you can reach, and how relevant your leads are.
And with Evaboot, you can turn those perfectly filtered searches into clean, exportable lead lists in just a few clicks.
Start targeting smarter, not harder.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the industry list updated on LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
LinkedIn regularly updates its industry classifications to reflect market changes, new sectors, and evolving business models. While there isn't a fixed schedule for public announcements of these updates, you can expect refinements and additions to occur periodically throughout the year. It is advisable to review the filter options occasionally for new categories.
Can I suggest a new industry category to LinkedIn?
Currently, LinkedIn does not provide a direct mechanism for users to suggest new industry categories for Sales Navigator. Industry classifications are determined by LinkedIn's internal data analysis and economic research teams. If you find a significant gap, precise keyword targeting is the most effective interim solution.
Are there limitations to the number of industries I can target?
LinkedIn Sales Navigator allows you to select multiple industries in your search filters. There is no hard limit on the number of industries you can select in a single search, providing flexibility to target broad sectors or a combination of niche markets. However, selecting too many diverse industries may dilute the specificity of your outreach efforts.
What if my target industry isn't explicitly listed?
If your precise target industry is not explicitly listed, employ a combination of strategies:
Select broader related industries: Choose the closest overarching categories.
Utilize keyword searches: Supplement your industry filters with specific keywords relevant to your niche (e.g., "sustainable packaging" within "Manufacturing").
Filter by company size and geography: Further refine your search within the broader industry by applying additional firmographic criteria.
How does industry targeting impact my lead generation efforts?
Industry targeting in Sales Navigator improves lead generation by narrowing your prospect pool to contacts whose company context matches your solution—resulting in higher relevance, better personalization, and fewer wasted touches. Specifically, it delivers:
• Higher Quality Leads: Prospects from target industries are more likely to have a need for your solution. • Increased Personalization: Enables tailored messaging that resonates with specific industry pain points. • Improved Conversion Rates: Relevant outreach results in higher engagement and conversion. • Reduced Wasted Effort: Avoids spending time on leads unlikely to convert, optimizing sales resources.
What are all the industries on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn's V2 taxonomy includes 434 industries organized into 20 official sectors. These range from broad categories like Technology & IT Services and Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals to niche verticals like Nanotechnology and Wine & Spirits.
The full list appears in Sales Navigator's industry filter dropdown and on company pages when you edit industry settings. Each industry label maps to a standardized classification code that powers filtering across LinkedIn's platform.
What should I list as my industry on LinkedIn?
Choose the industry that best describes your primary business activity or professional focus.
For company pages, select the sector where you generate most of your revenue or serve most of your customers. If your business spans multiple industries (e.g., a FinTech company crosses Finance + Technology), pick the one that defines your market positioning and use the "Specialties" field to capture cross-category nuances.
For personal profiles, match your industry to your current role or the sector you're targeting for networking and job opportunities. If you're a consultant working across industries, pick the one where you have the deepest expertise or the most active client base.
LinkedIn allows only one primary industry per profile or company page, but you can surface in adjacent-industry searches by using relevant keywords in your About section or company description.
What are the industry options on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn offers 434 industry options in its V2 taxonomy, organized into 20 top-level sectors. The options span everything from "Accommodation & Food Services" to "Wholesale," with granular sub-categories under each.
You'll see the full list when you:
- Edit the industry field on your personal profile or company page
- Apply the industry filter in Sales Navigator
- Browse company pages in search results (each company displays its selected industry in the "About" section)
The dropdown is searchable—type a keyword (e.g., "software") and LinkedIn will surface all matching options.
What is the industry of 21gmail.com?
21gmail.com is not a recognized LinkedIn industry category or company. This query likely refers to confusion around email domain classification.
LinkedIn does not classify businesses by email domain suffix. Industries are assigned based on the company's self-reported classification on its LinkedIn company page, not by its domain.
If you're trying to identify the industry of a company using a custom domain, look up the company page on LinkedIn—the industry will be listed in the "About" section under "Company details."
How do I find industry knowledge skills on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn does not have a standalone "Industry Knowledge" skill category, but you can surface industry-relevant skills in two ways:
Add industry-specific skills to your profile. Go to your profile, scroll to the "Skills" section, and click "Add skill." Type skills tied to your industry (e.g., "HIPAA Compliance" for Healthcare, "SEO" for Marketing, "Financial Modeling" for Finance). LinkedIn will suggest related skills as you type.
Search for skills in Sales Navigator. Use the "Skills" filter (under "Lead filters" or "Account filters") to find prospects who list specific industry knowledge. For example, filtering "Computer Software" + skill "Python" surfaces software engineers; filtering "Healthcare" + skill "Clinical Trials" surfaces medical professionals.
Skills are user-added and endorsed, so they're more granular than industry labels—use them alongside industry filters for precision targeting.
What is a LinkedIn company industry?
A LinkedIn company industry is the primary sector classification a business selects when creating or editing its LinkedIn company page. It's a single-choice field drawn from LinkedIn's V2 taxonomy of 434 industries across 20 sectors.
This classification determines:
- How the company appears in Sales Navigator industry-filtered searches
- Which peer companies LinkedIn surfaces in "Similar companies" widgets
- What content and ads LinkedIn prioritizes for the company's followers
Each company can list only one official industry, but the "Specialties" field (a free-text area) allows companies to tag additional focus areas or cross-category offerings.
What are LinkedIn industry categories?
LinkedIn industry categories are the 434 standardized labels organized into 20 V2 sectors that LinkedIn uses to classify companies and professionals. Examples include "Information Technology & Services" (Sector 17), "Hospital & Health Care" (Sector 9), and "Management Consulting" (Sector 14).
These categories power:
- The industry filter in Sales Navigator
- Profile and company page classification
- Content recommendations and search relevance
The categories are hierarchical—each sector contains multiple sub-industries—and they're continuously refined to reflect new markets (e.g., "AI & Machine Learning" was added as a distinct sub-category under Technology in the V2 update).
