Lookalikes settings

This feature allows you to leverage your customer data to identify new prospects who resemble your best customers. By selecting specific attributes that describe your customer profiles, our algorithm creates lookalike audiences, enabling you to target potential customers more effectively.

Enabling Lookalike Segments

The Administration/LookalikeLookalikes tab allows setting attributes to enable the possibility of creating lookalike segments under the Segments tab. Configurations are usually done by the Meiro technical consultant. Ensure your role grants you permission to view and edit Lookalike settings.

Select under Lookalike settings up to 10 string attributes or compound attributes with string dimensions without any specific order. These selections will help create lookalike segments by identifying profiles with similar attribute values. At least one attribute must be selected to activate the creation of a lookalike segment within the Segments tab.
