Goal

To create a Lookalike Audience that you can use to expand your Facebook Ads audience

Ideal outcome

By the end of this SOP, you will have a Lookalike audience in the target country of your choice

Why it matters

A Lookalike Audience uses your selected source audience as an input to create a group of people that share the same qualities (demographic information, interests and other) of the people in it, allowing you to scale your ads effectively

Before you start

To follow this SOP to add Lookalike Audience , you need: Google Tag Manager installed on your site. If you haven’t done so already and you are using WordPress you can follow SOP 004 (web version). You should have created a Business Manager account for your site (you can follow SOP 010 (web version) to do that). You also need to have the Facebook pixel on your website. If you don’t have it yet, you can follow: SOP 005 (web version) (or SOP 068 (web version) if you’re using Shopify). You also need to have set up Facebook conversion tracking (you can follow SOP 017 (web version) to start tracking your conversions). Finally, you’ll need to have verified your domain inside Facebook Business Manager (you can follow SOP 97 (web version) to do that)
