They \u201clook\u201d like your top customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how Facebook Lookalike Audiences work in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create a Lookalike Audience, you select a source audience (a <a href=\"https:\/\/lineardesign.com\/blog\/facebook-custom-audiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Custom Audience<\/a> based on your Facebook pixel data, video ad views, fans of your Facebook page, etc.). Facebook identifies the key characteristics of people inside that audience. Up next, the algorithms will find more people similar to your source audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a food delivery app\u2019s users show a strong interest in burgers and other fast food, are aged between 16-40, and live in a metropolis, Facebook can run ads in front of more people with a similar profile. \ud83c\udf54\ud83c\udf5f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/example-of-a-food-delivery-app-facebook-ad-min.jpg\" alt=\"Example of a food delivery app\u2019s Facebook ad\" class=\"wp-image-37701 lazyload\" width=\"447\" height=\"678\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/example-of-a-food-delivery-app-facebook-ad-min.jpg 596w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/example-of-a-food-delivery-app-facebook-ad-min-198x300.jpg 198w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 447px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 447\/678;\" \/><figcaption>Example of a food delivery app\u2019s Facebook ad<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all Lookalike audiences perform on the same level, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to successful Lookalike Audiences is finding a good source audience \u2013 people who are highly interested in your product or service.
