Custom Audiences are groups of individuals who have interacted with your business in some way and have given you their contact information. These groups can be created on various platforms such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn or Email Marketing Providers. You can use Custom Audiences to target your ads, create lookalike audiences, and improve your social media analytics.
A Custom Audience is a group of individuals who have interacted with your business in some way and have given you their contact information. This could be a list of emails, phone numbers or Facebook User IDs that you've collected from your website or an event.
To create a Custom Audience, go to the Ads Manager on Facebook, Google Ads or LinkedIn. Then upload your list of contacts and tag them with identifiers such as email or phone number. The platform will then match these identifiers to the user's profile on the platform.
Lookalike audiences are groups of people who share similar traits to the ones in your Custom Audience. These are created by platforms like Facebook or Google by analyzing the data from your Custom Audiences and finding people who fit similar characteristics.
The platforms use machine learning algorithms to analyze data on the people in your Custom Audience. They then find patterns that match similar traits between users like interests, behaviors and demographics. From there, they'll create a Lookalike Audience with similar traits to target ads towards.
Retargeting ads are ads that are targeted towards people who have interacted with your business but haven't taken any action yet. It's a great way to bring back people who've shown interest in your products or services but haven't converted yet.
