# Overview

Primer gives you the ability to create high match rate Facebook custom audiences.

Meta Ads can drive powerful B2B lead generation when paired with precise audience targeting. Primer lets you build custom audiences based on your Ideal Customer Profile—such as company size, department, and seniority—and sync them directly to Facebook and Instagram. This approach helps you overcome Meta’s broad native targeting, improving lead quality and campaign efficiency. 

Learn more with a detailed guide and best practices, by visiting Primer’s [Meta Lead Gen Guide](https://www.sayprimer.com/use-cases/primer-meta).

#### Getting Started

These audiences can be used across Facebook and Instagram ad placements.

#### Recommended Audience Size

Facebook prefers an overabundance of data. It provides an advantage for their algorithm, which identifies those users most likely to act in accordance with your campaign objective. Their minimum audience size requirement is meant to protect the privacy of the audience members, reducing the likelihood of identifying individuals via Facebook pixels or their actions on ads.

It takes up to **12 hours** for a Meta audience to fully match.

**Based on extensive testing, we recommend the following audience sizes:**

| Awareness building for outbound        | >5,000 users  |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Direct-response, last-click conversion | >30,000 users |
| Lookalike                              | >500 users    |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.sayprimer.com/primer/primer-support-legacy/ad-destinations/facebook-ads/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
