Hi Ben! Do you have plans for an updated video on adding client pages and client ad accounts to your (an agencies) business manager. With all the recent changes it seems it has become quite a bit difficult/confusing getting clients drip properly and quickly.
Love the info you put out! Thank you for what you’re doing for this community!!
Would love a video regarding Special Ad Audiences and Credit based companies like housing and car dealership. They are not allowed post October 2022…how would you approach this. We deal with many dealerships with finance offers and this will be a challenge moving forward. @benheath
Ben dosen't get enough credit for the amount of value he has on this page. Meta should truly reward him with something, he is giving ton of value for free.
I agree
Seriously! This page is a life saver!
so thankful for you making this video! Youre a pro!! Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks Ben... always helpful and easy to understand!
Thank you so much, very helpful. I'm going to set my first ads up this weekend. I will report back with the results.
Has to be the best and most informative video I have ever watched . Thank you
Thank you Ben, extremely helpful
I literally just started exploring LA! Thanks Ben, you are a wonderful human being. Cheers!
Happy to help :)
Thank you so much for this. You are a godsend
Dude thank you so much! this has been the most informative youtube video Ive ever seen on making FB audiences
Glad it was helpful :)
Really great, I'm learning a lot with you Ben, thanks very much !!
Happy to hear that :)
Thank you soo much it was more than helpful the same as all the videos I've watched before on your channel. you're the best.
Happy to hear that!
Really valuable stuff, Clear explanations and demonstration. Thankyou Ben! 💯💯
Glad you liked it :)
And another brilliant tutorial!!!!
You are such a blessing!
Amazing video and a great source of information! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I know this specific video has aged, but the amount of knowledge i've extracted from it, is so much that idk how to thank you, quite seriously.
Thanks Ben. Following you from Kenya Africa
Very detailled video. every steps explained. Thanks a lot buddy.
Hey Ben,
Thanks got this deep explanation of the lookalike audience setup. I have a quick question:
- I have watched your other video on setting up costum audiences but you said to include all this costume audiences in ONE AD SET ONLY rather then a costum audience per one ad set.
- However here in this video you are mentionning to create a different adset for each lookalike audience.
Could you please clarify on this? And either I need to put costum audience + lookalike audienxe in the same ad set?
Terrific video Ben! Thanks man!
Glad you liked it :)
Great Video!! and Very good explanation about LookaLike Audience.
Thank you :)
probably the most thorough video on FB lookalikes out there, cheers again Ben keep rocking 👏
Thanks a lot :)
Happy to help
It's great that you put this video up Ben because I'm finding many customers are still, like Jay Gatsby, living completely in the past. The good old days are gone and to survive the here and now, they need to adapt.
That's the nature of the beast with such a dynamic industry :)
@@BenHeath Here here.
Bro I learned more in this video than I did in my digital marketing certification class on lookalike audiences. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Super video! Thanks Ben...
My pleasure!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
very good informative video
Glad you liked it
thank youuuuuu so muchhhh ben
Thanks for sharing 😊
You are very welcome :)
Wow! The user really is the product! And Facebook has a great product!
Thanks very clear and helpful.
Thanks a lot :)
A little late to the party but this was really helpful Ben! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for the video! Very informative! Just one quick question. If while creating the Lookalike Audience I put the UK as my audience location, do I have to put the same location within the Ad set as well or can I just leave the location field there empty? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi Ben
Thank you for your efforts am going to create the first ad’s today ❤️
Best of luck :)
Thank you so much,
When using a Custom audience, should I change the conversion to Messaging App or should I keep it as is when setting up a Facebook page ad?
thanks a lot dude. you really provide great value. most people would have charged a lot of money for the knowledge you provide for free. thanks.
Happy to help :)
I'm sure I will have questions once i start using this, but it is remarkable
LOVE-YOUR-VIDEOS. Thank you! II sell two products with a campaign for each product (since the messaging is quite different and the audience is slightly different (sometimes overlapping tho)). I have one instagram page (and one FB page). Do I use the same LAL in each of my different ad campaigns? Or use it with my product with the larger audience? Something else?
Hello, I am from India, I am searching how to create lookalike audience, your detailed description helps me to give a good idea. I subscribed your channel.
thanks Ben!, this is the info that I need :)
Happy to help :)
As soon as i have the funds, i am tipping you. Unreal advice thank you!
Awesome :)
Hey, this is amazing. You've introduced us to a powerful tool for better Facebook ad targeting. Just right under our noses. Thanks, Ben, for pointing it out!
Glad it was helpful!
You save my business, dude. Great work. Thanks a million!
Glad I could help!
Hi Ben, I want to trouble you with a question about Audience size and Conversion rate. Do you think Broad audience targeting (50m-100m) with a small relatively budget (100-200 usd/ day) results in a lower conversion rate, at least in the early phase? I’m running a campaign for a product with broad appeal, using broad targeting but I notice the conversion rate is lower than the campaign with interest targeting (1% vs 1.5-2% target interest). Maybe the audience is too broad (thus cold audience) compared to the small budget
Hey ben really useful and interesting, Thanks for the explanation
My pleasure :)
Amazing video! 👏 I'm looking to run an ad for my pt gym. Normally I run lead ads with dynamic content. I'm thinking of running a fresh lead ad and a lookalike audience at the same time. Would this be worth while or waste full?
Thanks :)
No I say that's worth a test
Thanks for the video. If you plan on targeting multiple countries, do you need multiple LAL audiences? Or can you include them all under the same audience?
Hi, first time here.
First, thank you for explaining this in the simplest way possible.
Second, I have a question. I created the Lookalike audience for both regular posts and videos. I mostly use IG for my ads. After going through what you said, the lookalike audience isn't appearing on the IG ad page. How do I go about this, bearing in mind both the FB page and IG business accounts are connected?
Pure gold
Love this video. I am in the real estate business, so just want to create a look a like audience for the city I am a realtor in. Looks like the most granular level we can get in the country level, not the city and state level. Is that right or am I doing something wrong?
Well, it was truly useful. Thanks!
Why can't I add a few countries to one lookalike audience? I've got an error.
Also do I need to set a location in the ad set if I've added it to lookalike audience already?
Thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot. May God bless you :)
You're welcome :)
Great information!!! also, if my business changed its retail location to another city, the audience I built in the old area, can I bring it as a lookalike audience to the new location? will Facebook know not to use their location as a variable?
Hello Ben. Amazing videos and very informative. I have a problem at the moment after creating a lookalike audience I can't use them in the targeting for my special ad housing campaign and i don't know why. do u have an explanation.
Oh one more thing Ben, does it matter if i put the locations IN the lookalike set up? or do i add the locations in the Ad set? Does it make a difference? because i selected all countries IN the lookalike setup at 1% (over 250k)
Super clear. Super detailed. Got all answers to my questions! Thanks a lot!
Glad it helped :)
Hi Ben. Thanks again for such great video. Could you talk a bit more about why customer list data lost efficiency after iOS 14.5? I get the pixel dynamic, for meta simply can't track people anymore. But, for instance, all my customers leave their full name, city, email and Whatsapp number. I upload all this info on my customer list. I can't get though how iOS 14.5can damage that.
Learning a lot from you. Thanks
Also wondering this. Should not affect the effectiviness.
You are a gem
Thank you very much
Hey Ben, thanks for sharing! i have a question though: as i know, faceook recommends on seed of 100-5,000 people for good LAL list. did i miss something? you recommended opening website audience with retention of 180 days and it's sound too much. thanks for your help
!
Very useful video. Cheers sir!
Glad it was helpful :)
@@BenHeath if you have a full tutorial on fb ads please put the link here and if not please feel free to create 1 :)
Hi Ben. Nice video!! may i ask you a question about 'madid'? What is madid for? can I leave it blank?
I've been working through your videos for the past 6 hours today :o Question! If you have a new product launch, would it make sense to create an add that has an audience of your email list + the lookalike audience of the email list?
Wow :)
Sure I'd leverage both those options.
Hey Ben! Shall I be worried about the red bar of the audience being too specific and Facebook recommending making the broader !? Thanks
If I am targetting for app download and it doesn't matter from what country the user downloads the app. Can I use only the LookAlike and that's it? Without specifying the specific country for the targeting. Thanks! Great videos!
Nice tut Ben! which is the best campaign I can use to drive customers to my whatsapp for sales of goods?
Hi Ben,
Thanks for this amazing stuff. I have one question. Can we change the location in the adset if we want to target specific areas or cities? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yes you can :)
WHAT A VIDEO SIR
Thanks a lot :)
hey ben thank you for this video!
i have a question - once i made source audience and on the EXCEL list that i provided there are under 100 people - facbook wont let ,e make "lookalike" audience?
Thank you for this video. Really grateful for the time and energy you put into making these helpful tutorials. Very helpful, clear, and straight to the point, hence why I subscribed. I was always a little confused about what percentage I should select as I'm targeting the Cardiff area. I've been using 1%, so now I'll try 10%. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot :)
Yep for that size area you want 10%
@@BenHeath Hi great video, i have a question. Whenever i change my lookalike percentage to a broader number meta does not give me an estimated reach size, why is that?
Awesome Ben, I love your content, super helpful!!!
Just 1 question, I have been running Facebook lead generation ads for a couple of months for different real estate projects now, however I have been getting 90% of fake leads. Is there anyway I can reduce it. Please help.
Glad to hear it - I've actually got a video coming out about that tomorrow :)
@@BenHeath That's great 👏Looking forward to watch it
Thank you
You're welcome
Great one to rewatch, thanks Ben. How would I create a lookalike with people that started a conversation with a messenger ad? Not the lead forms.
You are very welcome. You can go with the Facebook Page custom audience option. From there you can create one of people that have messaged your page. Then create a lookalike from that.
Hey Ben, these are great insights to lookalike audiences! Just one question - would you recommend using multiple lookalike audiences in one adset? For example adding lookalike facebook engagers AND lookalike facebook video viewers AND lookalike instagram engagers AND lookalike instagram video viewers in one adset?
Thanks a lot :)
No I separate the types of LAL into different ad sets
Great tutorial
Glad you think so :)
Hi @Ben this is great stuff, extremely useful! thanks a lot! I have a target specific question, If I am to target a specific religious group in any given location, what's the best plan for creating lookalike audience?
Thanks for the great and valuable content! I have one question if I create Lcl Audience for location in the audience section, do I need to create the location again in the ads manager target option?
Yes I would recommend that you do :)
Fantastic video. Better than most paid courses.
Thank you very much :)
Hi Ben that's a good content new approach using LLA. I have a question if you already created a 1% lookalike video views location United Kingdom should I put the location in the adset level or its okay yo leave it with no location? since you already set the location of your LLA when you're creating it
You still want to add the country at the ad set level - Facebook will usually make you do so.
If you're building alist as you go through the video ... if you are creating a regional ad, select a higher percent when uploading the list when selecting your country.
Can I know that the orders of videos in playlists are ok Cuz some videos are older and they are on top and latest are after that.Is this mistake or this order is correct
do i have to create whole new ad set to run lookalike audience or go into my existing ad set and remove my detailed targeting and add the custom audience? thanks!
Great Video! One question. When you set up the custom audience for facebook page set to "Accounts Center accounts who engaged with any post or ad", does it start collecting from that day forward or does it include all the people that have interacted with your posts and ads in the past?
Good question - it'll be able to collect data from the past as it is all within platform.
I tried to create an audience from my Facebook video views, but it showed that I didn't have any views. I schedule videos with Creator Studio on the Instagram tab and then click the box to share on my Facebook page that's connected to my Instagram page. That way, I only have to upload the video once and it posts on both platforms. So I was able to create an audience from my Instagram video viewers, but not my Facebook video viewers. I would assume these are 2 separate groups of people, so I'm not sure how to find my Facebook video viewers in Ads Manager. Any ideas? Do I have to upload the video twice in Creator Studio (once for Instagram and once for Facebook) in order to see the views for each platform's videos in Ad Manager? That seems like a lot of work and time given my internet is super slow! Thanks for your help! Awesome videos - I'm learning a lot from you!
Hello Ben. Thank you for your help. But after creating Lookalike audiences, I do not see my lookalike audiences at the ad set level. I only see my created custom audiences, but not my lookalike audiences at the adset level. What do I do?
I'm not sure if you're gonna read this But I can't thank you enough Ben. U deserve the world for the amount of info ur giving for free. U truly deserve the world💗Love from Algeria 🇩🇿💗
Thank you very much! I’m very happy to help :)
Hi Ben, Love the content! Would you recommend to split the Lookalike audiences over different countries or combine all the countries in one Lookalike audience? I would love to hear your take.
Thanks for the great content! I have a question, if I want to advertise only on IG and use 1% LaL, do I need to look at the Estimated audience size after my settings and see if it's still higher than 250k? In case is smaller better using for example 2% LaL?
You are very welcome - yes I would and if it is smaller you can increase the percentage
@@BenHeath thanks!
I'm curious - if an account is set up with all the post-iOS14 pixel information and the site verification, how inaccurate is the data that comes in via the pixel? Is it with all the extra effort to go ahead and do all this set up if it is going to be wildly inaccurate?
Hello
If I don't have customer list in excel, what should I can do?
and How to get excel list of customer?
Thanks
Hey Ben, I pulled email list (0 orders) and customer list (1+ orders). Can I upload ALL emails associated or do I need to omit emails that are not subscribed? Thanks!
Amazing t-shirt. What is the brand name?
What is the thought process on 1% Lookalike for United States, but then you are using that LAA in a targeted area of a city with a 50 mile radius? So if that "City +50mi" has 500,000 people, is your audience now 5,000 people? Or is it that initial 2.7 million, and the 1% doesn't translate over directly mathematically. Maybe for example, of the 2.7 million, 380,000 of the 500,000 live in your "City +50" area.
I'm a beginner and have only run 3 Ad Campaigns. I've never selected a look a like audience. I haven't had many people purchase or visit my site. As a beginner. Is selecting Look a Like audience my best option for my next campaign ?
How would you create a lookalike audiences from upworks clients? Also, how exactly does facebook extract information from a text document or email list?

Hey man, if I am the master in Fb ads, how long does it take to learn google ads? How difficult it is than Fb ads.
I don't see a section the customer list that says "Facebook User ID" or "Instagram User ID" I only see "Facebook App User ID." Can I put someone's Facebook ID in the "Facebook App User ID" section...Or will that screw up the process of finding the right person?
i have purchase event with currency and value parameters for about 1k+ traffic. but whenever i created a value based lookalike audience based on that purchase event it says 0 value has passed. can somebody help explain why is that happening? :(
Hey Ben, I have 3 campaigns with multiple ad sets, would you suggest testing lookalike audiences on your worst or best performing campaign according to ROAS?
I would probably test new stuff in your best performing campaigns :)
