What it does
Create B2B company firmographic audiences for targeted advertising campaigns.
Build audiences based on company attributes (industry, size, revenue) and contact-level criteria.
ESTIMATE-ONLY MODE:
Pass estimate_only=true to preview audience size (companies + contacts) WITHOUT creating the audience.
In this mode the tool returns expectedNumberOfCompanies,
expectedNumberOfContacts, and cappedContactCount. Default is false (audience is created).
PREFERRED AUDIENCE TYPE:
This is the DEFAULT and most commonly used audience type on the Metadata platform.
When the user asks to create an audience without specifying a type, prefer this tool.
Only suggest Bombora audiences if get_intent_topics returns available topics.
Only suggest G2 audiences if G2 is confirmed as connected via get_integrations_status
and the user specifically requests G2 targeting.

- Revenue: "$1M - $10M", "$10M - $50M", "$50M - $100M", "$100M - $200M", "$500M - $1B", "$1B+"
CONTACTS CRITERIA:
Use the following parameters to filter and target specific contacts within accounts:
GEOGRAPHIC TARGETING:
- location_country_ids: Array of country IDs (e.g., [29] for Brazil, [229] for United States)
- location_state_ids: Array of state IDs (e.g., [5] for California, [32] for New York)
JOB TITLES:

- job_function_include_ids: Array of job function IDs to include (e.g., [9] for Engineering)
- job_function_exclude_ids: Array of job function IDs to exclude
SENIORITY LEVELS:
Valid seniority IDs and their labels:
- 2: Manager, 3: Director, 4: VP, 5: CXO, 6: Unpaid, 7: Training
- 8: Senior, 9: Owner, 10: Entry, 11: Partner

- seniority_exclude_ids: Array of seniority level IDs to exclude
CONTACT LIMITS:
- contacts_per_company_limit: Maximum number of contacts to target per company (optional). Example: 20
USAGE NOTES:
- All ID fields (countries, states, job functions, seniorities) use numeric IDs from the platform
- Job titles are free text strings, not IDs
- Use include parameters to specify which criteria to target
- Use exclude parameters to filter out contacts matching specific criteria
- Combine multiple criteria for precise targeting (e.g., Senior Engineers in California)
- Criteria are combined with AND logic, so all conditions must be met
CONTACTS CRITERIA PARAMETERS(Usually after other initial audience parameters to be described next):
- location_country_ids: Array of country IDs (optional)
- location_state_ids: Array of state IDs (optional)
- job_title_includes: Array of job title keywords to include (optional)
- job_title_excludes: Array of job title keywords to exclude (optional)
- job_function_include_ids: Array of job function IDs (optional)
- job_function_exclude_ids: Array of job function IDs (optional)
- seniority_include_ids: Array of seniority level IDs (optional)
- seniority_exclude_ids: Array of seniority level IDs (optional)
- contacts_per_company_limit: Maximum contacts per company (optional)
PARAMETERS:
- name: Audience name (required) - **IMPORTANT: Name MUST NOT exceed 50 characters. This is a mandatory requirement.**
- industries: Array of industry IDs (optional)
- employees: Array of employee count ranges (optional)
- revenue: Array of revenue ranges (optional)
RETURNS:
Audience details with ID, size estimation, and creation status.
COMMON USE CASES:
- Target software companies with 50-500 employees
- Find companies in specific industries with revenue ranges
- Build audiences with contact-level filtering (seniority, job function, location)
- Combine firmographic and contact criteria for precise B2B targeting
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- **CRITICAL: Audience name MUST NOT exceed 50 characters - this is mandatory and will cause creation to fail if exceeded**
- name is the only required parameter
- All other parameters are optional for flexible audience creation
- Contact criteria fields work the same as in G2 metadata dynamic audiences
- Audience size depends on firmographic filters and applied contacts criteriaArguments
