What is Lookalike Audience?

A targeting option finding new people who share similar characteristics with your existing customers.

What is a Lookalike Audience?

A lookalike audience is an algorithmically generated targeting segment that finds people who share characteristics with your existing customers, leads, or high-value contacts. Platforms analyze your seed audience and find similar users.

Why Lookalike Audiences Matter

Lookalikes typically deliver 30-50% lower CPAs than interest-based targeting because the algorithm identifies patterns humans miss. They're especially powerful when built from your best customers (not just any leads).

How FlowStrata Creates "Lookalike" Targeting

FlowStrata builds prospect lists that mirror your best clients' profiles, matching firmographic, technographic, and behavioral patterns. This is essentially a manual lookalike audience built with precision data rather than platform algorithms.
