# Audiences

{% hint style="warning" %}
Available only on **Smart sections** and **Ultimate** plans. Learn about [upgrading your plan](/section-studio/get-started/choose-subscription-plan.md).
{% endhint %}

**Audiences** are a way to group your visitors based on their traits, allowing you to show personalized content to the right visitors, at the right time. 

You can create audiences based on different criteria, like location, time and date, how visitors arrive at your site, and other data about your customers.

### Next steps

***

After creating audiences, add [section variants](/section-studio/smart-sections/section-variants.md) with alternate content and styles that are tailored to each audience. Then [assign audiences to section variants](/section-studio/smart-sections/section-variants.md#assign-audiences-to-section-variants) to activate them on your storefront.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.fluorescent.co/section-studio/smart-sections/audiences.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
