Building Lookalike Audiences (LLAs)
How to build LLAs from your top-performing Slopeside audiences for expanded reach.
🎯 Purpose
Leverage your best-performing Slopeside audiences to reach more of the right people with Meta’s Lookalike modeling.
💡 Why It Works
Because Slopeside’s audiences are already filtered for verified behavioral intent, they make ideal seed audiences for Meta’s Lookalike engine — improving match quality and predictability.
🪜 Step-by-Step Guide
- In Meta Ads Manager, go to Audiences → Create Audience → Lookalike Audience.
- Choose your top-performing Slopeside Audience as the source.
- Select your region (start with the same country or region as your original campaign).
- Choose audience size: start with 1%–4% to maintain precision.
- Save and activate.
Pro Tip: Run your new LLA audience alongside your Slopeside audience — not as a replacement. This helps Meta learn faster while maintaining performance consistency.

4–10% | Broad awareness | Use only once ROAS targets are met |
🤖 AI-Powered Enhancement
The Slopeside platform monitors which Lookalike ranges deliver the strongest engagement and adjusts audience recommendations automatically. If a specific seed performs well, the system prioritizes it for future refreshes.
Ask the AI Assistant: “Which Lookalike range should I test next?” — It will analyze campaign history and suggest the optimal reach window.
