How To Accurately Target Facebook’s Core Audience?

Definition of core audience:

The core audience is a Facebook targeting option that allows advertisers to target precise audiences based on four main types of targeting: geographic location, audience characteristics, interests, and behavior. Facebook extracts data from the information shared by users on their profiles and the behavior they display online and offline.

What data is used to target the core audience

Regions: Advertise in countries, cities, and communities where you want to conduct business.
Behavior: Target advertising audiences based on consumer behavior, such as past shopping and device usage.
Demographics: Select audiences based on age, gender, education, occupation, and other conditions. You can track the types of people covered by your ads, but Facebook will not share their personally identifiable information with you.
Network: Choose to add users who are already connected to your Facebook public homepage or event, or exclude them from your target audience to find new audiences.
Interests: Set target audiences for advertisements based on interests and hobbies (such as love for organic food or action movies, etc.) to achieve precise targeting of advertisements and improve their relevance.

How to Target Core Audience on Facebook Ad Manager:

1. Find the location of the audience and create a new audience

Open Ad Manager, find “Ad Set” on the left, we will see “Audience”. Then create a new audience.

2. Choose the right location

When choosing a core audience, the first step is to determine the geographic location of the ad and limit the audience area. There are four regional options here, which restrict users in more detail. If you want to reach the most audiences, you can keep the default option “All users in this region”.
Then we need to use the map, or enter the city, city, state, province, country, or region name to set the audience area. You can use the radius slider to expand or shrink the target area. You can also choose to include other regions or exclude some regions with the “Exclude” option.

Facebook’s default location is the United States. If you target another country, make sure to change this setting.
If you do n’t have enough data for the selected country and the sections are blank, please switch back to the United States.
Although this is less relevant, a larger audience will allow you to access more data to start exploring interests.

3. Age and Gender

Facebook users generally range in age from 25 to 54.
The default gender option is “unlimited”, of course, you can also choose only “male” or only “female”.
