Do you run Facebook ads to promote your business?
Wondering how Facebook pixel can help optimize ad delivery for specific goals?
In this presentation, you’ll discover how to install and use the Facebook pixel to track website traffic and create trackable Facebook ads.
2. What is Facebook Pixel Code?
● The Facebook pixel is a code that you place on your website.
● In other words, The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code
that allows you to track visitor activity on your website.
● It collects data that helps you track conversions from Facebook ads,
optimize ads, build targeted audiences for future ads, and
remarket to people who have already taken some kind of action on
your website.
3. How the Facebook pixel works
● When someone visits your website and takes an action (for example,
buying/View something), the Facebook pixel is triggered and reports this
action.
● This way, you'll know when a customer took an action after seeing your
Facebook ad.
● You'll also be able to reach this customer again by using a Custom Audience.
● When more and more conversions happen on your website, Facebook gets
better at delivering your ads to people who are more likely to take certain
actions.
● This is called Conversion Optimization.

tab in Events
Manager.

6. Pixel Base Code
The pixel base code tracks activity on
your website, providing a baseline for
measuring specific events. Copy the
base code below and paste it between
the header tags on every page of your
website.
7. What is Standard Event Code?
● Events are actions that happen on your website, either as a result of
Facebook ads (paid) or organic reach (unpaid).
● Standard events within the Facebook pixel code enable you to track Specific
Events, optimize for conversions and build audiences.
Simply copy the code for type of event you want to track and add it to the pixel base code
on the relevant page of your website.
