What Messaging Works Best in a Lookalike Campaign?

Last updated: August 6, 2025

Once you've dialed in the filters and identified the right leads using the Lookalike Search, the next key to success is getting your messaging right.

To truly maximize your outreach performance, your message needs to resonate with the audience - and the best way to do that is by showing them proof that looks just like them.

🎯 Best Practice: Use Relevant Case Studies

Why It Works:

If you're targeting leads that resemble your most successful customers, referencing those very customers in your messaging creates instant relevance and credibility.

đź§  Example:
If your Lookalike search is based on marketing agencies, highlight a successful result you've delivered to another marketing agency.

This technique has consistently delivered strong reply rates across AiSDR campaigns. It creates a natural alignment between your offer and the lead’s world.

đź›  How to Add Those Case Studies in Your Messaging?

To integrate these case studies into your outreach:

1. Navigate to the Personas Tab

  • In the AiSDR menu, go to Personas.

2. Click Create Persona

  • Use the Create Persona button at the top.

3. Choose a Messaging Style

  • Select the tone or structure that fits your brand (e.g., consultative, results-driven, friendly).

4. Add Case Study Details

📌 In the Company Details → Social Proof Section, Include:

1) đź”— Case Study Links

  • Add URLs to published case studies from your website.

  • Make sure they closely match the companies you're targeting in your Lookalike search (same industry, product category, or customer profile).

OR

2) 📝 Plain Text Summaries

If you don’t have a public case study, include a brief written version with:

  • Client names (if you have permission)

  • Quantifiable results (e.g., “increased SQLs by 40%”)

  • Pain points solved (e.g., “manual outreach was time-consuming and ineffective”)
