Short answer

HubSpot can turn a contact segment into an ad audience to re-engage contacts on that network. For Meta, a lookalike audience targets people similar to website visitors or a contact segment, but HubSpot's KB says the source audience must already have synced to Meta. HubSpot's own lookalike segments are a separate CRM feature you can use in emails and ads.

1. Connect first

Audiences need a connected ad account. My demo portal has none, so the ads page shows the connect prompt.

2. Audience types

  • Contact segment audiences.
  • Website visitor audiences.
  • Lookalikes (Meta) from a synced audience.
