# How to Exclude Competitors from My Segments in Reo.Dev?
When creating account segments in Reo.Dev, you may want to exclude competitor accounts from your targeting. This can be easily done by uploading a competitor account list and applying it as a filter when building segments.
***
#### **Step 1: Upload Your Competitor Account List**
Before excluding competitors in segments, you need to upload a list of competitor domains to **My Lists** in Reo.Dev.
Use this sample CSV format when creating and uploading your competitor domain list. Ensure that the **"Company Domain Name"** column includes all competitor domains you want to exclude from your account segments.
**How to Upload the List:**
1. Navigate to the **Lists** section under Tools and click on '**Import'**
2. Select the Type of List as **Accounts**
3. Name the list (e.g., "Competitors")
4. Upload a file containing competitor account domains (CSV file type).
5. Map the **Account Domain** field and complete the upload
Click **Done** to save the list.
**Reference Guide:** [How to Upload a List in Reo.Dev](/accounts/custom-lists.md)

#### **Step 2: Exclude Competitor Accounts from a Segment**
Once your competitor list is uploaded, follow these steps to exclude these accounts when creating a segment:
**How to Apply the Filter:**
1. Go to Segments dashboard and click on Create New
2. Choose **Segment Type** → **Accounts**.
3. Click on Add filter and under **Source** → Click on **Lists** → Select **Accounts**.
* Select **Does not Include** from the dropdown
* Select the list uploaded in the previous steps
Note: You can add any additional filters as needed. Once done, Click on **Save Segment**.
