How do you target the right audience in social media ads?

Targeting the right audience in social media ads begins with a clear audience persona that defines the demographic profile, job roles, interests, and behavioral signals of the ideal customer. This persona then maps to the targeting options available on each platform: Meta allows interest, behavioral, and demographic targeting; LinkedIn offers job title, company size, industry, and seniority targeting that is uniquely precise for B2B campaigns.

Beyond interest targeting, custom audiences built from first-party data are typically the highest-performing segments:
– Website visitor retargeting audiences (built using Meta Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag)
– CRM contact list uploads matched to platform profiles
– Engagement-based audiences of users who have interacted with previous content
– Lookalike audiences modeled from existing customers to find new users with similar profiles
