Unlock Your Marketing Potential with Facebook Ads Audience Targeting

As a social media manager specialising in Facebook and Instagram ads, I'm often asked about the best ways to target audiences. Today, let's break down the three main types of audience targeting on Facebook and how you can leverage them to boost your business.

Interest-Based Audience (Cold Leads)

This targeting method allows you to reach people based on their interests, behaviours, and demographics.

Top tips:

• Use Facebook's Audience Insights tool to discover related interests

• Combine multiple interests to narrow your audience

• Test different interest combinations to find what works best
  

Lookalike Audience (Cold Leads)

Lookalike audiences are created based on your existing customers or engaged users.

Top tips:

• Use your best-performing customer list as a source

• Experiment with different lookalike percentages (1-10%)

• Create multiple lookalike audiences based on different criteria
  

Custom Audience (Warm Leads)

These are people who have already interacted with your business in some way.

Top tips:

• Segment your email list for more targeted messaging

• Retarget website visitors based on specific pages they've visited

• Use engagement custom audiences to reach people who've interacted with your content

By mastering these three audience types, you'll be able to create more effective, targeted campaigns that drive results for your business. Remember, the key to success is continuous testing and optimisation.
