As more and more people are getting frustrated with Facebook ads and their Google ad performance, they're looking into things like X (Twitter) ads for their business. In this post, I'm going to walk you through how to find the perfect audience for you and your business on X.

Hey there, my name is Brad Smith, owner of AutomationLinks. I've been doing this marketing stuff for the last 10 years and helped over 25 people. If you stick with me to the end, I'm going to show you the exact blueprint that we use to:

1. Find the ideal audience
2. Set up the right ads to get the most conversions

Building Your Ideal Audience

This is where you build your ads. If you aren't familiar with setting up X and Twitter ads, this is when you get to your campaign and your ad group level.

Using Autopilot

What we really want to recommend is using the Autopilot feature. Autopilot is a Chrome extension you can download from the Chrome Store. It's free to use and will allow you to build your perfect audience to target on X.

Steps to use Autopilot:

1. Set up Autopilot
2. Go through their targeting list
3. Use AI to build your audience (Say something like "I want a list of CEOs in United States". That's going to be my example for the AI to take over and start building that list for us.")
4. Add more relevant keywords (Depending on your type of business, go ahead and type in whatever you want there. The more clear and specific you are, the better the results)

Refining Your Audience

For me, I like to just keep it to the countries that people would buy from, so United States or Canada would be the best for me. I'm good with all the cities and states, and with men and women. My only thing is I want them to be over 21.

Steps:

1. Click on "next"
2. Target based on:

• Country
• State
• Gender
• Age

Pro tip: You can always come back and test these as well. They save as lists so you can test with your ads and see which ones work best.

Manual Audience Building

If you don't want to use Autopilot, you can build your audience manually:

1. Set your budget and check your estimated audience size
2. Focus on follower look-alikes and keywords
3. For keywords, think about what your ideal audience might be typing or commenting about
