Facebook Pixel is a game-changing tool that empowers businesses to use data for effective advertising. In this blog post, we will demystify Facebook Pixel and explore how it can revolutionize your advertising efforts.

What is Facebook Pixel?

Facebook Pixel is a small piece of code provided by Facebook that you place on your website. It acts as a tracking tool, collecting valuable data about your website visitors and their interactions. It's like a storage where the data of your customers is collected to optimize your Facebook ads. This data helps you optimize your targeting, track conversions, and measure your ad effectiveness.

Facebook Pixel Base Code

You can utilize the Facebook pixel for the following purposes

1. Create website custom audiences Retarget constituents, voters, or supporters who have visited a specific page or taken a desired action on your organization’s website.

2. Reach people most likely to take actions Use automatic bidding to reach individuals who are more likely to take an action you care about, such as making a purchase from your virtual campaign store, making a donation on your website, or signing up for a government service.

3. Measure the results of your ads Gain a better understanding of the impact of your ads by measuring the actions taken when people see them, such as determining if people are taking the desired action

How the Facebook pixel works

Once the Facebook pixel is set up, it will activate when someone takes an action on your website, including visiting your website. The pixel receives these actions, or events, which you can view on your Facebook pixel page in Events Manager. From there, you’ll be able to see the actions that your constituents, voters, or supporters take. You’ll also have options to reach your community again through future Facebook ads by retargeting those who have interacted with your website.

Leveraging the Facebook pixel helper

The Facebook pixel helper is a troubleshooting tool that helps you determine if your pixel is working correctly. You will need to install this Chrome plugin to check for errors and understand the actions that your pixel is receiving.

• Install the Pixel Helper extension from the Chrome Store

Once you’ve set up the Facebook pixel helper, a small icon will appear next to your address bar. The pop-up will show what pixels and events were found on the page, and whether they have loaded successfully.

Note: Apple’s announced iOS 14 changes require that all apps in the App Store show a prompt to iOS 14 users in accordance with their AppTrackingTransparency framework. These changes will impact how Facebook receives and processes events from tools like the Facebook pixel. If you optimize, target, or report on web events from Facebook pixel or any of our other business tools, you can take steps to update your event setup and manage these changes.
