Use AI to Create a Target Audience for Your Facebook Boost

Boosting a post on Facebook can work wonders - but only if it reaches the right people.

Here’s the truth: it’s not just about pressing “boost.”
It’s about knowing who you’re talking to - and telling Meta exactly who to show it to.

The good news? You don’t have to guess.
With the right AI prompt, you can define your perfect audience in minutes.

✅ Why Audience Targeting Matters (Even for Boosts)

When you boost a post without direction, Meta tries to figure it out for you - but often sends it to people who scroll past without thinking.

But when you customise the targeting, you can:

• Get more meaningful engagement

• Reach potential buyers, not just browsers

• Spend less, get more results

💬 The Target Audience AI Prompt

Use this before you boost any post. It’ll help you define exactly who your content is for - so you can plug those details into Meta and see better returns.

“Act as a Facebook Ads strategist.
I’m about to boost a post for my business. I help [describe your audience] with [describe your offer or service]. 

Suggest a custom audience profile for boosting this post. Include:
– Ideal age range
– Location(s)
– Interests and behaviours
– Job titles or industries (if relevant)
– Any audience exclusions

Keep the targeting broad enough for reach but specific enough for relevance. Also suggest when and how long to run the boost for best results.

I want you to ask me questions until you have enough information to complete this task.”

✅ Example Output

If you’re a fitness coach offering online programmes:

• Age: 25–45

• Location: NI (with focus on urban areas)

• Interests: Fitness, weight loss, home workouts, healthy eating

• Behaviours: Engaged shoppers, follows fitness influencers, uses fitness apps

• Exclusions: People interested in extreme bodybuilding or gym-only plans

• Boost Duration: 4–5 days, starting Thursday (when people plan their week)

You can plug these directly into Facebook's audience settings when boosting. It turns a random boost into a strategic micro-ad.
