Create a Meta lookalike audience in the IQ chat
Updated 2026-10-19
In CustomIQ, creating a Meta lookalike audience from the IQ chat is not available yet. Once it is, you'll type "Create a lookalike of my customers" and the chat will create in Meta the 1% of Spain's population most like them, free and without adding it to any campaign.
What does the IQ chat create when you ask for a lookalike?
Once available, the CustomIQ IQ chat will create in Meta a lookalike of the source you pick: a segment's leads, your customers or your website visitors. It's the 1% of Spain's population most like them. It isn't available yet; today you create it in Meta Ads Manager. You'll ask for it in the IQ chat.
Does it add it to my campaigns?
No. It only creates it; you use it when you create or edit a campaign.
What if Meta is still processing the source?
A new list or website visitors can take a few hours. The chat says so and, when you ask again, finishes the audience without uploading anything again.
Steps
- Once it's available. You'll type "Create a lookalike of my customers" or "…of the leads of Freelancers".
- Pick the source. A segment's leads, your customers or your website visitors.
- Confirm. The chat says how many contacts it starts from and creates nothing until your "yes".
- Use it in a campaign. It shows in Meta Ads Manager under Audiences, to use when you create or edit a campaign.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost?
- Nothing.
- What data goes to Meta?
- Only your contacts' email and phone, encrypted before they leave CustomIQ.
- Why can't I create one for my clinic?
- Since 2025 Meta blocks audiences that imply health topics from new campaigns, and a lookalike inherits that.
- How many contacts do I need?
- At least 100 with an email or phone.
