audiences?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom Audiences are a Meta ad tool that lets you reach people who have already interacted with your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your custom audiences are compiled from individuals who have displayed interest in your business. This includes people in your CRM, website visitors, app users, email subscribers, customers, leads, and offline buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, you can fine-tune your audience by adding or excluding individuals based on specific actions they\u2019ve taken. For example, you can exclude recent app subscribers to ensure your ad budget isn\u2019t wasted on the wrong audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that\u2019s not all \u2013 with custom audiences, you can even craft a <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/how-to-use-facebook-lookalike-audiences\/\">lookalike audience<\/a> to help you reach new people who are similar to your best customers. This approach maximizes your <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/how-to-increase-roas-facebook-ads\/\">campaign\u2019s return on investment (ROI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-benefits-of-using-facebook-custom-audiences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of using Facebook custom audiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facebook custom audiences can boost ad campaigns in several ways. Here are four key advantages, supported by case studies to show how they work and their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-generate-more-qualified-leads-at-a-lower-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generate more qualified leads at a lower cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facebook custom audiences is a useful tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/how-to-generate-leads-on-facebook\/\">generating high-quality leads<\/a> at a lower cost. How?

Custom audiences based on website activity (pixel)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website custom audiences are based on what people do on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, someone might visit a product page, add something to their cart, and leave without buying. If your Meta Pixel is set up, Meta can track that action and let you retarget that person with a relevant ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you create this type of audience, you need to set up the Meta Pixel. For better tracking, use the Meta Conversions API too, when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"9-what-is-the-meta-pixel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Meta Pixel?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/how-to-install-facebook-pixel\/\">Meta Pixel<\/a> is a small piece of code you add to your website. It helps Meta understand what people do on your site, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Viewing a page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding something to the cart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Starting checkout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making a purchase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This data helps you create custom <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/facebook-retargeting-ads\/\">audiences for retargeting ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, when someone looks at a product on your website and later sees an ad for that product on Facebook or Instagram, that is usually website retargeting in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"10-how-to-create-a-website-custom-audience\"

Meta will try to match the emails to people on Meta technologies, such as Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a number of strategies that you can use to effectively create a Facebook audience from email lists. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Abandoned cart customers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cart abandonment doesn&#8217;t always signal lost intent. Users might need a nudge to finish. Try a Facebook ad campaign aimed at this audience with incentives or discounts to seal the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Website visitors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A custom audience ad campaign targeting past website visitors can boost conversions by staying top of mind and nurturing the existing relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"38-facebook-custom-audience-best-practices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facebook custom audience best practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each segment is addressed with a campaign that triggers the right buying impulses at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, many marketing departments still operate by uploading CSV or TXT files in Meta Ads Manager to create custom audiences. Timing and accuracy are crucial to taking advantage of the available data and running effective retargeting campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information must flow freely from the CRM database to the Meta Business Suite. That can be a problem, especially for large companies with strong hierarchical environments and several managers whose responsibilities often overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are five ways large companies can benefit from automating custom audiences despite their structural challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know all the different types of custom audiences available, let\u2019s explore some of the best practices to help you kickstart your <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/retargeting-ads-examples\/\">retargeting campaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"39-1-create-your-campaigns-faster-by-avoiding-manual-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Create your campaigns faster by avoiding manual work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close collaboration among several departments is required to develop a robust retargeting strategy. However, coordinating the work among departments already takes a lot of effort. This leaves little room for repetitive, manual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since effective retargeting campaigns depend entirely upon constantly updated CSV files, they need to be synced with Meta Business Manager quite often. The best way to avoid manual upload is through <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/marketing-automation-strategy\/\">marketing automation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bridging the CRM with the Meta Business account, the information is updated automatically in the custom audience on Facebook once a new subscriber enters a particular CRM segmentation or a specific stage in the buying cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lb-dynamic-integration-widget lb-dynamic-integration-widget-block_6a14d9e7d9f82\">\n        <a class=\"ui-wrapper d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center no-gutters\" href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/bc\/lb\/google-sheets\/facebook-custom-audiences\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div class=\"logos d-flex flex-nowrap align-items-center col-auto mb-3 mb-md-0\">\n            <img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo63.png\" alt=\"Google Sheets logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload\"\/>            <span class=\"plus\">+<\/span><img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo371.png\" alt=\"Facebook Custom Audiences logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload ml-1\"\/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"description flex-grow-1 col ml-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 text-center text-md-left\">\n            Integrate Google Sheets &amp; Facebook Custom Audiences instantly\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"cta ml-md-3\">\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-quaternary text-uppercase d-flex\"><span>try now<\/span><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lb-dynamic-integration-widget lb-dynamic-integration-widget-block_6a14d9e7d9f83\">\n        <a class=\"ui-wrapper d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center no-gutters\" href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/bc\/lb\/act-on\/facebook-custom-audiences\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div class=\"logos d-flex flex-nowrap align-items-center col-auto mb-3 mb-md-0\">\n            <img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo119.png\" alt=\"Act-On logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload\"\/>            <span class=\"plus\">+<\/span><img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo371.png\" alt=\"Facebook Custom Audiences logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload ml-1\"\/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"description flex-grow-1 col ml-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 text-center text-md-left\">\n            Move data between Act-On &amp; Facebook Custom Audiences automatically\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"cta ml-md-3\">\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-quaternary text-uppercase d-flex\"><span>try now<\/span><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"40-2-create-instant-retargeting-campaigns-with-updated-custom-audiences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Create instant retargeting campaigns with updated custom audiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant data updates are crucial to boost sales through a dynamic retargeting strategy. This depends on the brand and what they offer. Giants like Adidas and Nike revise their lead, customer, and segment databases rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For fast-moving campaigns, weekly or biweekly list updates may be too slow. More frequent syncing can help reduce wasted spend and avoid showing ads to the wrong people. For example, some leads may become customers, yet your outdated database keeps sending them ads as if they\u2019re still leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manual updates are also impractical, causing friction between CRM Managers and Advertising Planners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using automation, you can update custom audiences every 6 hours with the latest data. This ensures a high-quality shopping experience and increased profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"41-3-reduce-the-possibility-of-data-point-mismatch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Reduce the possibility of data point mismatch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One often overlooked aspect of retargeting campaigns is the precise formatting and uploading of customer data required by Meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manually creating a CSV file involves data gathering, proper column sorting, file extraction, and Facebook upload. However, some CRMs, like HubSpot, offer a native option for ready-to-upload CSV files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consistency in file format is crucial during sorting, because it leaves minimal room for error. To reduce mismatching, it\u2019s best to access data directly from CRM value fields using an API script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">API scripts enhance matching precision, ensuring custom audiences remain clean for effective retargeting campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"42-4-keep-your-ad-relevance-diagnostics-in-good-shape\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep your Ad Relevance Diagnostics in good shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta upgraded the single Relevance Score years ago and replaced it with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/436113280262012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ad Relevance Diagnostics<\/a>. This is no longer one score. It includes Quality ranking, Engagement rate ranking, and Conversion rate ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When setting up retargeting campaigns for website visitors, you can instruct Facebook to exclude email contacts of those who\u2019ve already made a purchase and are in the CRM. You can achieve this by placing a code snippet (pixel) on the transaction confirmation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature allows you to show ads to people who visited the website but are not registered in the CRM. Additionally, it prevents flooding customers who have already converted with further ads by maintaining high-ranking Ad Relevance Diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an indicator of ad performance. Usually, a higher overall rating is associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/news\/relevance-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lower overall costs and higher reach per dollar spent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, having strong relevance allows advertisers to enjoy lower costs and more effective ad distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"43-5-keep-your-lookalike-audiences-relevant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Keep your lookalike audiences relevant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lookalike audiences is one of Facebook\u2019s targeting options. They are users that share similar traits and interests to customers or leads who have already had some interaction with a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By replacing the information about the usual identifiers such as name, email, and phone number, with the ideal client data in terms of spending over time, Facebook can reach a more qualitative audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"44-6-creating-precise-audience-segmentation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Creating precise audience segmentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Past website visitors <\/strong>(Within 30 Days): People familiar with your brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Specific High-Intent Landing Page Visitors:<\/strong> Target users on sign-up, checkout, product, or pricing pages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blog readers, high engagement (Within 30 Days): <\/strong>Retarget blog visitors with valuable content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Newsletter subscribers, active (In Q2 2026)<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Re-engage active and inactive subscribers through Facebook custom audiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"45-7-follow-meta%E2%80%99s-latest-custom-audience-rules-a-final-checklist\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Follow Meta\u2019s latest Custom Audience rules: A final checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you create a custom audience in 2026, check these items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use the right ad account and business portfolio: <\/strong>Make sure you are working inside the correct Meta ad account and business portfolio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accept Meta\u2019s Custom Audience terms: <\/strong>If you use customer lists, accept Meta\u2019s Customer List Custom Audiences Terms before uploading or syncing data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use only permission-based data: <\/strong>Only upload or sync data from people who gave your business permission to use their information for advertising.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use clean customer identifiers: <\/strong>Include strong identifiers such as email and phone number. Add other approved identifiers when available to help Meta match your records more accurately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid sensitive audience names: <\/strong>Do not use audience names, segment labels, events, or custom conversions that reveal health, financial, or personal traits.<br>For example, avoid names like:<br>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cdiabetes patients\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201chigh-income leads\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cbad credit users\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use neutral names instead, such as:<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cCRM segment \u2014 Q2 2026\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cRecent buyers \u2014 180 days\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cNewsletter subscribers \u2014 active\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Special Ad Category rules:<\/strong> If your ads are about housing, jobs, credit, financial products, politics, elections, or social issues, review Meta\u2019s Special Ad Category rules before building the audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use exclusions carefully: <\/strong>Exclude people who should not see the ad, such as current customers, recent buyers, employees, or users who already converted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep your lists updated: <\/strong>Refresh customer lists often or use an integration like LeadsBridge to sync CRM and email data automatically. This helps avoid targeting people who already bought, unsubscribed, or moved to another funnel stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connect the Meta Pixel and Conversions API when possible: <\/strong>Use the Meta Pixel for website browser events and Conversions API for server-side, CRM, app, or offline events. This gives Meta better data when browser tracking is limited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review audience health before launch: <\/strong>Check that the audience is available, large enough, correctly mapped, and not flagged with issues before you use it in a campaign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Document your data source: <\/strong>Keep a simple internal note that explains where each audience came from, what data it uses, and when it was last updated. This makes privacy reviews and troubleshooting easier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"46-custom-audiences-faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom audiences: FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some common questions about custom audiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"47-1-what-is-facebook%E2%80%99s-custom-audiences-privacy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What is Facebook\u2019s custom audiences privacy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to use Facebook custom audiences, you must follow the applicable terms. Two of the important policies are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tell people clearly how you collect and use their data. Make sure you have permission to share it with Meta for ad targeting. <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/permission-based-marketing\/\">Consent-based marketing<\/a> best practices require brands to indicate where they collected the information.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you\u2019ve obtained permission to use and share people\u2019s data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/terms\/customaudience?_rdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meta\u2019s Customer List Custom Audiences Terms<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/technology_terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meta Business Tools Terms<\/a>, and the privacy laws that apply where your customers live, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/guides\/gdpr-and-facebook-all-you-need-to-know-to-keep-advertising-safely\/\">GDPR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/1127818887766516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK GDPR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/it\/en\/legal\/united-states\/?srsltid=AfmBOooEELUmb0eLQ_AYkIy43IKjMr9apeUHJ464LtxA0ssmcHMA35wF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CCPA\/CPRA<\/a>, or other local laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"48-2-do-facebook-custom-audiences-auto-update-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;Do Facebook custom audiences auto-update?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/292880337536354?id=2469097953376494\">Custom audiences are updated automatically<\/a> by pulling data from your website based on the specified rules. For instance, if you set a rule to include visitors from the past 30 days, it will add them automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can manage this data manually, which is extremely inefficient.

For lookalike audiences, the source usually needs at least 100 people from the same country, but larger source lists often work better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"50-4-how-do-you-change-your-audience-on-facebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How do you change your audience on Facebook?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can take the following steps to modify your Facebook audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can edit an ad set by going to your Meta Ads Manager and selecting the ad set you want to edit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, click on the \u201cEdit\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To find the \u201cAudience\u201d section, scroll down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now edit the targeting options for your audience, including age, gender, location, interests, behaviors, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To update your ad set with the new audience after making your changes, click the \u201cSave\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that altering your audience may have an impact on the effectiveness and reach of your advertisement. So carefully consider your targeting options and keep an eye on the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"51-5-what-is-a-core-audience-in-ads-manager\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. What is a Core Audience in Ads Manager?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Core audiences are older Meta targeting settings, which are based on things like location, age, interests, and behaviors. In 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/2016171032241412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meta<\/a> mostly pushes Advantage+ audience, where some targeting inputs work as suggestions instead of strict limits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When integrated into all of Meta\u2019s ad-buying tools, it enables advertisers to refine their audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So to answer your question about what a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/news\/Core-Audiences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Core Audience<\/a> is in Ads Manager, here\u2019s a quick rundown of how it targets users based on four criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Precise location targeting<\/strong> by country, city, state, ZIP code, and exclusion of specific areas, or by excluding specific areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demographic reach<\/strong> to target people based on relationship status, life events, workplace, job title, and education.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Streamlined interest-based targeting<\/strong> for simplicity and precision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behavior targ<\/strong><strong>eting<\/strong> for targeting based on purchases and device usage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"52-6-how-to-remove-a-custom-audience-in-facebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How to remove a custom audience in Facebook?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deleting a custom audience results in it being immediately removed from your account and any ad account you&#8217;ve shared it with. Active ad sets created by either the audience owner or the shared audience recipient, including the deleted audience, will be paused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while you can turn on a paused ad set, remember to review any changes first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To delete your custom audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Find <strong>Audiences<\/strong> in Ads Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Tick the box next to the audience you&#8217;d like to delete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Select <strong>Delete<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"53-how-to-delete-a-shared-custom-audience\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to delete a shared custom audience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s review deleting a shared custom audience, whether you have shared it or it was shared with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you delete a custom audience that you&#8217;ve shared with another ad account, it will also be removed from the recipient&#8217;s account. They might get notified if they have active ad sets using that audience, since those ad sets will be paused.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you delete a custom audience that was shared with you by another ad account, it won\u2019t affect the original owner\u2019s account. You can follow the steps above to delete the audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"54-7-can-you-combine-custom-audiences-on-facebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Can you combine custom audiences on Facebook?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can absolutely combine custom audiences when setting up your Facebook (Meta) ads. The process is actually pretty straightforward. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by creating a new ad set in Ads Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Audience section, go to the Advantage+ audience area and click on Audience suggestion (this part\u2019s optional, but it can help).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under Custom Audiences, select all the audiences you want to include. You can pick multiple.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got a list of past customers and another of recent website visitors. If so, you can target both at once. When you add more than one custom audience, Meta can use those audiences in the ad set. In the Advantage+ audience, some audience choices may act as suggestions unless they are set as controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When setting this up, just make sure each audience member shows \u201cReady\u201d before using it, or it won\u2019t work properly in your ad set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also continue to optimize by using exclusion targeting. This is great if you are trying to reach new leads, so they don&#8217;t overlap with your current customers. To exclude certain audiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the ad set, go to Audience. Open Show more controls. Add the Custom Audiences you want to exclude under custom audience exclusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Show more options, and add any custom audiences you want to leave out under Exclude these custom audiences.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up the rest of your ad as usual, including budget, placements, creative, etc.<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everything looks good, publish the ad set. Your campaign will go live after Meta reviews it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"55-8-how-to-share-a-custom-audience-on-facebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. How to share a custom audience on Facebook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shared audiences let others access the audiences you&#8217;ve created for your ads. You can share custom audience lists between ad accounts if both accounts are tied to a business portfolio and have an audience-sharing connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin, you must meet these requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both ad accounts should be connected through business portfolios, and a person with full control may need to approve the sharing relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A person with full control of the business portfolio must start the sharing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accept Facebook&#8217;s terms of service if sharing for the first time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the actual steps to share an audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Go to <strong>Audiences<\/strong> in Ads Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Tick the boxes next to the audiences you want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Click the <strong>Share<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Enter the ad account numbers you want to share the audiences with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Click the <strong>Share<\/strong> button again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this sharing process to be completed, the recipient\u2019s business portfolio needs to accept the partnership request.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once accepted, you can share additional audiences with those ad accounts. Also, remember that shared audiences can\u2019t be used to create lookalike audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"56-9-how-to-accept-custom-audience-terms-on-facebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

Use this link for each ad account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/ads\/manage\/customaudiences\/tos.php?business_id={BUSINESS_ID}\">https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/ads\/manage\/customaudiences\/tos.php?business_id={BUSINESS_ID}<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace {ACCOUNT_ID} with the specific ID of each ad account (in the format act_xxxx). This way, you can make sure that each ad account is authorized to use custom audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use {BUSINESS_ID} or change the URL to use {ACCOUNT_ID} if that is intended<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"59-reconnecting-your-account-if-needed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reconnecting your account (if needed)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re using third-party integrations (like LeadsBridge), refresh your access token after accepting the terms. To do this, disconnect and then reconnect your Facebook account within the platform to update your access and apply the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"60-10-how-to-exclude-a-custom-audience-in-meta-ads-manager\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. How to exclude a custom audience in Meta Ads Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add multiple exclusions and still target the people you want. If you use lookalikes, exclude the source list too to prevent overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how to exclude a custom audience on Facebook in a simple three-step approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Meta Ads Manager and edit your Ad Set.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Audience, click Exclude and select Custom audiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then pick the list you don\u2019t want to see your ads (e.g., past purchasers, employees, recent site visitors).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to apply exclusions at the Ad Set so all ads inherit them. Also, make sure you refresh customer lists regularly to keep exclusions accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"61-11-can-i-create-a-custom-audience-using-facebook-user-ids\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Can I create a custom audience using Facebook user IDs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can use supported Meta identifiers, such as email, phone, mobile advertiser ID, app user ID, and certain app- or page-scoped IDs when allowed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, do not use scraped Facebook profile IDs or data from people who do not have a permitted relationship with your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you must only use IDs for people you already have a real relationship with (for example, customers or users of your app), and you must follow <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/terms\/dfc_platform_terms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meta\u2019s Platform Terms<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/devpolicy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Developer Policies<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/terms\/customaudience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Custom Audience Terms of Service.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also have to respect the newer rules about sensitive data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta has restricted Custom Audiences, Lookalike Audiences, and custom conversions that suggest sensitive health or financial information. Avoid audience names, event names, and segment labels that mention conditions, income, credit scores, debt, or other sensitive traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you advertise housing, jobs, credit, financial products, social issues, elections, or politics, Meta may limit targeting and audience options. Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/documentation\/ads-commerce\/marketing-api\/audiences\/special-ad-category\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rules for special ad categories<\/a> before using custom audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your audience is flagged, it may get an error code (like 471), your ad set may show \u201cwith issues\u201d, and that audience cannot be used to run ads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fix a flagged audience, review the audience, remove any data or labels that hint at health or financial information, or create a new audience that follows the rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that has happened to you and you think Meta made a mistake, you can request a review inside Ads Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"62-final-thoughts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facebook custom audiences are a perfect tool for all businesses. Custom audiences work even better alongside cold campaigns, letting you blend prospecting and retargeting while keeping your ad spend more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implementing custom audiences can boost your leads and sales by targeting individuals who are likely to convert, driving traffic to both your online and offline stores through retargeting activities. Additionally, having an app for your business can help increase installs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At LeadsBridge, we can help sync custom audiences with your CRM, email tool, spreadsheet, or customer database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With LeadsBridge integrations, you can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/integrations\/facebook-custom-audiences\/\">integrate Facebook\u2019s custom audiences<\/a> with the rest of your marketing stack. <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/pricing\/\">Sign up <\/a>now or <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/demo\/\">request a demo,<\/a> to test out our tool for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lb-banner lb-banner-42918\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/signup\" title=\"signup\" target=\"_self\">\n    <picture>\n                <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 2x\">\n                        <source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 2x\">\n        <img data-src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                <noscript>\n                        <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 2x\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 2x\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                    <\/noscript>\n    <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR One of Meta\u2019s most attractive ad features is its targeting tools, such as custom audiences.&nbsp; Facebook custom audiences help advertisers reach people who already know their business, such as customers, leads, website visitors, app users, and people who engaged with their content.
