4/24/2025

What is Facebook Pixel?
The Facebook Pixel is a powerful tracking code that helps you understand how users interact with your website after viewing your Facebook or Instagram ads. It tracks conversions, optimizes campaigns, and builds high-converting retargeting audiences.

🔧 Step 1: Create a Facebook Pixel

Go to Events Manager
Navigate to Facebook Events Manager.
Click “Connect Data Sources” > “Web”
Select “Facebook Pixel” and Click “Connect”
Name Your Pixel
Choose a name that reflects your business or website.
Enter Your Website URL
This helps Facebook offer setup instructions tailored to your site.

🧩 Step 2: Install the Pixel on Your Website
Option 1: Manual Installation

Copy the Pixel base code provided by Facebook.
Paste the code into your website’s <head> section—on every page you want to track.
Click “Continue” in Events Manager.

Option 2: Use a Partner Integration (Recommended)
If you use platforms like Shopify, WordPress, or Wix, follow these steps:

In Events Manager, choose your platform under “Use a Partner.”
Log into your platform and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Facebook automatically installs and verifies the Pixel.

✅ Step 3: Verify Your Pixel Is Working

Use the Facebook Pixel Helper Chrome extension to test your site.
Visit your website and check that the Pixel fires correctly.
In Events Manager, look for “Active” status with real-time activity.

🎯 Step 4: Set Up Events to Track Key Actions
Facebook Pixel tracks key interactions called “events”—such as:

ViewContent – When someone views a product or content
AddToCart – When a product is added to the cart
Purchase – When a transaction is completed
Lead – When a form is submitted

Set Up Events:

Use Event Setup Tool (no coding needed)
- In Events Manager, select your Pixel > “Add Events” > “From the Pixel”
- Enter your URL and use the visual editor to choose buttons or fields to track

Add event code manually if you prefer deeper customization.

🚀 Step 5: Use Facebook Pixel to Improve Your Ads

2. Optimize Ad DeliveryFacebook uses Pixel data to show ads to users most likely to convert.
3. Create Custom AudiencesRetarget people who visited your site, added products to the cart, or started checkout but didn’t convert.
