Lookalike Audiences
Lookalike Audiences are a powerful marketing tool that allows advertisers to reach new people who share similar characteristics and behaviors with their existing customers, helping to expand their target audience and improve campaign performance.
What is Lookalike Audiences?
Lookalike Audiences enable B2B marketers to scale prospecting by algorithmically identifying net-new accounts and buyers who mirror the attributes of high-value customers. By training models on first-party conversion, retention, and revenue data, platforms surface segments with comparable firmographics, technographics, and behavioral signals across channels. This precision extends reach without diluting relevance, improving match quality, CPM efficiency, and downstream metrics such as qualified pipeline and customer acquisition cost. Unlike broad targeting, lookalikes preserve intent while expanding coverage, supporting ABM, product-led growth, and partner motions. Think of it as finding counterparts to your best clients—familiar needs, similar journeys, and likelihood to convert.
Example
As a marketer, first upload your existing customer list to the advertising platform. Then create a Lookalike Audience based on that list, targeting users who share similar demographics and behaviors. Finally, run your ad campaign targeting this Lookalike Audience to reach new potential customers likely interested in your product.
RMIQ helps brands build, scale, and continuously refine high-performing Lookalike Audiences by unifying retail media data across Walmart, Instacart, Amazon, Target, Sprouts, Thrive Market, Uber, and more into a single, AI-driven platform that plans, executes, and measures expansion strategies end to end. Its multi-agent architecture transforms seeds from first‑party purchasers, SKU‑level converters, and high‑LTV cohorts into privacy‑safe lookalikes, while specialized agents automate feature engineering, propensity scoring, budget allocation, and bid optimization to find incremental shoppers at the lowest effective CAC. Cross‑network learning transfers winning audience attributes and keyword signals between retailers in real time, amplifying reach across more than twenty networks that collectively touch up to 85% of the U.S. retail audience.
A/B testing agents systematically compare seed compositions, similarity thresholds, creative variants, and suppression lists, then adapt campaigns based on statistically valid lift, enabling faster cycles and compounding efficiency gains without manual babysitting. Granular SKU insights steer lookalike expansion toward high‑margin products and profitable baskets, while pacing agents rebalance spend by retailer, placement, and daypart to sustain ROAS during scale. Unified dashboards collapse fragmented reporting, exposing cohort performance, incrementality, and contribution to revenue so commercial teams can prioritize what works and sunset what doesn’t. Customers report average ROAS lifts exceeding 50% and up to five dollars in new sales per dollar invested, driven by real‑time bidding and adaptive strategies that target the right shoppers with precision. Whether you manage hundreds or thousands of SKUs, RMIQ onboards in minutes, supports rapid audience experimentation, and integrates with existing workflows to minimize change management.
The outcome is predictable, efficient lookalike growth that compounds over time, outpacing manual, siloed approaches. Backed by enterprise-grade support, governance, and transparent reporting, RMIQ gives B2B marketers a defensible engine for demand creation and retention, aligning spend to revenue while de-risking scale across retailers, categories, and seasonal volatility.
