Feature details

Segment expansion lets you find similar customers in your customer base using artificial intelligence. A binary classification machine learning model assigns a similarity score to customers in the expanded segment. The score is based on the similarity to customers in the source segment. Depending on the similarity score, customer profiles are added to a newly created segment.

Sometimes referred to as lookalike modeling in digital marketing, it uses an AI model to help find customers who are similar to another segment of your customers by factoring in additional attributes. It not only allows you to pick the attributes but also allows you to specify the maximum number of customers who should be in this new segment. The AI model will then compute similarity scores for each customer based on your selected attributes and find customers with the higher average similarity score. The resulting segment will include customers who look similar to the customer in your original segment.
