After that think about what kinds of things your audience ‘likes’, what tools and services do they use, who is there favourite influencer, what brands do they like and so on. What you’re looking for is trying to find some ‘like’ pages where your audience will hang out. Therefore you have defined your target market by what they like similar to your product perhaps. Depending on your audience this is a very effective way to target your market, rather than other demographics or behaviours.

So what you can now do with graph search is find similar pages. So just try searching for a similar page to what you have already found using this key phrase: pages liked by people who like (then your similar ‘like’ page). Here’s an example below.
