LOOKALIKE AUDIENCES ALLOW ADVERTISERS TO TARGET MORE PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE THEIR ESTABLISHED CUSTOMERS.  
 
A LOOKALIKE AUDIENCE USES SEVERAL KINDS OF USER SET AS A "SEED" AND AN AUDIENCE IS BUILT OF SIMILAR USERS.
LOOKALIKE AUDIENCES CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT ANY BUSINESS OBJECTIVE: TARGETING PEOPLE WHO ARE SIMILAR TO
SETS OF CUSTOMERS FOR FAN ACQUISITION, REGISTRATION ON YOUR APP, OFF-FACEBOOK PURCHASES, AND COUPON
CLAIMS AND SO ON.
Lookalike Audience
FIND POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS SIMILAR TO YOURS

1. THE SEED CUSTOM AUDIENCE IS RECOMMENDED INCLUDE AT
LEAST 100 PEOPLE.  
MAKING IT AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE WILL HELP ENSURE THERE IS
ENOUGH DATA TO FIND PEOPLE SIMILAR TO THE LIST.
2. LOOKALIKE AUDIENCES CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE REST OF
FACEBOOK'S TARGETING TO NARROW DOWN WITH ADDITIONAL
DEMOGRAPHICS OR INTERESTS.
3. LOOKALIKE AUDIENCES CAN BE USED TO TARGET ANY KIND OF
MEDIA, INCLUDING MOBILE APP ADS, PAGE POST ADS AND OTHER
DOMAIN ADS.
4. IF THE SEED AUDIENCE HAS QUALITIES LIKE GENDER OR
GEOGRAPHY BUILT IN, THE LOOKALIKES MAY NOT ADHERE TO THE
SAME LIMITS.
General tips
FOR WORKING WITH LOOKALIKE AUDIENCE

THE AUDIENCE NETWORK SHOWS PEOPLE THE RIGHT ADS BY
EXTENDING FACEBOOK’S PEOPLE BASED TARGETING TO
THIRD-PARTY APPS. THIS MEANS THE ADS MATCH THE
INTERESTS OF PEOPLE, JUST AS THEY DO ON FACEBOOK.
ADVERTISERS CAN OPT THEIR CAMPAIGNS INTO THE
AUDIENCE NETWORK WITH A SINGLE CLICK. WHEN IT
HAPPENS, ALL OF THE SAME TARGETING APPLIES TO THEIR
ADS, ON FACEBOOK OR IN THIRD-PARTY APPS.
Hint: your ads are cheaper
WHEN YOU JOIN AUDIENCE NETWORK

YOU CAN USE DEEP LINKING FOR MOBILE APP BOTH INSTALL AND RE-ENGAGEMENT ADS TO IMPROVE CONVERSIONS. THIS
WILL HELP YOU SEND CUSTOMERS DIRECTLY WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO GO IN YOUR APPS. THE POINT OF HANDLING AN
INCOMING LINK, WHICH IS SPECIFIC TO EACH OF YOUR ADS, IS TO PROCESS THE INFORMATION ENCODED IN THAT LINK AND
USE IT TO DIRECT THE USER TO A RELEVANT PART OF YOUR APP.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR APP IS AN E-COMMERCE APP AND SOMEONE TAPPED ON AN AD ABOUT A PARTICULAR PRODUCT,
THEN WHEN THEY ARE DIRECTED TO YOUR APP YOU CAN PROCESS THE INCOMING LINK THAT CONTAINS THIS INFORMATION
TO SHOW THIS PERSON A VIEW FEATURING THAT PRODUCT AS OPPOSED TO SHOWING THEM SOME UNRELATED CONTENT IN
THE ROOT VIEW. 
Use deep links
PROVIDE YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH INFORMATION THEY CARE ABOUT
