Back to Basics: Facebook Ads Lookalike Audiences

On today’s episode I wanted to share an interview that I did on Mike Stelzner’s The Social Media Marketing Podcast. I did that episode a few months ago, and it was called How to Use Facebook Lookalike Audiences With Custom Audiences.

As you’ll hear, Mike has a way of asking some really great questions and I thought this interview could bring you a lot of value here on my show. If you’ve not yet listened to Mike’s podcast, definitely check it out because he covers a lot of good stuff on social media marketing, with some amazing guests.

If you’ve been looking to get clarity around lookalike audiences, then you’re going to get a lot from this episode. We cover everything from the basics, to setting them up, and to where lookalike audiences should fit into your overall targeting strategy. I also share some creative ways for sourcing your lookalike audiences, or what base audiences you can create your lookalike audiences from.
