Essentially, it's a strategic tool to optimize marketing investments.

From a marketing perspective, adopting look-alike modeling techniques proves beneficial for businesses aiming to sell products and services.

 Step 3: Building the Audience Database

Build the look-alike customer base in the demand-side platform (DSP) or data management platform (DMP), depending on the platform used. Tailor your approach based on campaign goals. For broad brand awareness, a more lenient attribute definition generates a larger audience database.

Choose look-alike modeling algorithms aligned with your marketing campaign goals. For targeted initiatives, use narrowly defined behavioral traits to maximize reach and outcomes.
