Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for B2B LinkedIn targeting too?

Yes. Claude Code can define LinkedIn audience parameters including job title, seniority, company size, and industry filters. It also helps you estimate audience size vs. specificity tradeoffs for LinkedIn's higher CPCs.

How do I use this with my existing customer list?

Describe your customer attributes or paste anonymized demographic and behavioral data. Claude Code will identify the strongest targeting signals and recommend how to build lookalike audiences from your highest-value customer segments.

What's the right audience size for cold campaigns?

It depends on your budget. Claude Code applies the general rule of allowing at least 50 conversions per ad set per week for algorithm learning, so it calculates recommended audience sizes based on your CPM and budget inputs.
