How can I create additional custom or lookalike audience in addition to the one Peasy automatically creates #
Peasy already creates your custom audience and lookalike audiences once you upload your contacts into Peasy. However, Peasy will only create a custom audience and lookalike audience provided that there is more than 100 contacts or when there is a sufficient amount. But if you have more specific requirements, you can create your very own custom audience, a lookalike audience will be automatically generated as well based on your newly created custom audience. Do ensure that the custom audience you create is defined based on categories, product, LTV, etc and not based on status as Peasy will automatically create status based segmentation once your custom audience is created.
- In your Peasy Dashboard, click on “Custom Audience”.
- In custom audience, click on “Create Custom Audience”.
- Name your custom audience.
- Configure your custom audience accordingly.
- Add Fact if there is a specific field from your contact list that you would like to use.
- Click “Get Estimated Contact Count”, ensure that the estimate is more than 100. For best performance, we recommend to have an estimate that is about 1,000 or more.
- Once satisfied, click on create.
Peasy will automatically create your custom audience and have it segmented based on contact status provided that there are enough numbers to support its creation.

FAQ #
What is a Fact? #
A Fact is what Peasy uses to specify and configure a custom audience. A fact is based on an existing field in your contacts list. For example; if you contact list includes information of what product a customer has purchased, you can create a fact based on this. Using this fact in your custom audience will have a custom audience and lookalike audience created specifically to target potential customer and customers who has already purchased that specific product.

How do I know if my custom audience is created successfully? #
Within your custom audience, Peasy will show the created custom audience. In the event that you do not see your custom audience that you have just created, please check back after 24 hours. As the creation of the custom audience depends on the complexity and the amount of contacts it is based on.
Where are my lookalike audiences? #
Your lookalike audience can be seen in your Facebook Audience Manager. Within Facebook Business Manager, click on the 3 line icon located at the top left section and select “Audiences”. The lookalike audience will be named as “LAL_(Your Brand Profile Name)_(Your Custom Audience Name)_(Lookalike Range + Status)”
What is a lookalike range? #
A lookalike range is depicted in percentage (%). This tells you how closely similar you would like your lookalike audience to be to your custom audience.
On Facebook you are given a range between 1% to 10%, while on Peasy, you have a range of 1% to 20%.
Closer towards the left of the scale, your lookalike audience would be highly similar to your custom audience. Towards the right of the scale, you lookalike audience is less similar to you custom audience. But in terms of targeting accuracy, even though it is less similar to your custom audience, it is far more accurate compared to broad based targeting.
