Comparable audiences
Lookalike audiences are one of the most effective targeting methods on paid social, being a targeting criterion whereby Facebook generates an audience of users similar to your current base of customers or audience.

Facebook matches these criteria with other Facebook profiles, finds similarities in interests, demographics, behaviors, etc. These findings are used to generate a similar Facebook audience whom you can target in your future campaigns.
