| 104 | ## Audience Targeting Overview |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ### Platform Strengths |
| 107 | |
| 108 | | Platform | Key Targeting | Best Signals | |
| 109 | |----------|---------------|--------------| |
| 110 | | Google | Keywords, search intent | What they're searching | |
| 111 | | Meta | Interests, behaviors, lookalikes | Engagement patterns | |
| 112 | | LinkedIn | Job titles, companies, industries | Professional identity | |
| 113 | |
| 114 | ### Key Concepts |
| 115 | |
| 116 | - **Lookalikes**: Base on best customers (by LTV), not all customers |
| 117 | - **Retargeting**: Segment by funnel stage (visitors vs. cart abandoners) |
| 118 | - **Exclusions**: Exclude existing customers and recent converters — showing ads to people who already bought wastes spend |
| 119 | |
