When it comes to scaling ad campaigns, few tools are as powerful as Lookalike Audiences. They allow you to reach people who share characteristics with your existing customers or followers, helping you grow your brand efficiently and effectively.
What Are Lookalike Audiences?
A Lookalike Audience is a group of users that closely mirrors another audience you already have. In LeadEnforce, you can create a Lookalike Audience based on a source audience such as website visitors, Facebook page followers, or a custom list of leads. The platform analyzes shared interests, demographics, and behavior patterns to find users with similar profiles.
This targeting method is especially useful for businesses aiming to grow beyond their current audience while maintaining strong conversion potential.
Why Lookalike Audiences Matter
According to Meta’s internal data, advertisers using Lookalike Audiences often see up to 70% higher conversion rates compared to cold targeting. That’s because you’re not targeting random people — you’re targeting people who already resemble your best-performing audience.
When used in LeadEnforce, Lookalike Audiences can help you:
-
Increase reach without wasting budget on irrelevant users.
-
Maintain ad relevance while scaling.
-
Shorten the learning phase for your campaigns.
How to Create a Lookalike Audience in LeadEnforce
-
Log in to your LeadEnforce account.
Access your dashboard and go to the Audiences section. -
Select your source audience.
Choose an existing audience, such as customers who completed a purchase, people who visited specific pages, or followers of a Facebook page. -
Click “Create Lookalike.”
LeadEnforce will analyze the traits of your source audience and use them to generate a new, similar group of users. -
Choose your location and size.
You can define the country or region where you want to find similar people and adjust the percentage size of your audience. A smaller percentage (1–3%) results in a more precise match, while larger ones (up to 10%) provide broader reach. -
Add your Lookalike to a campaign.
Once created, you can use your new Lookalike Audience in Facebook or Instagram ad campaigns directly through your LeadEnforce account.
Pro Tips for Better Results
-
Use a high-quality source audience. The accuracy of your Lookalike depends on the data you feed it. Aim for at least 1,000 active, engaged users.
-
Segment your Lookalikes. Instead of creating one large audience, test different Lookalike percentages (1%, 3%, 5%) to balance reach and precision.
-
Combine with retargeting. Pair your Lookalike campaigns with retargeting strategies to guide new prospects further down the funnel.
