You can create a Facebook pixel and set up the events that you want it to report. For example, if you sell a product, you could set up a custom event when someone purchases a certain product. After that, you could set up custom audiences and conversions. You can even set up a second pixel if you want to track more visitors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_conversions\"><\/span>Custom conversions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add custom conversions to your pixel by following a few simple steps. First, make sure to choose all URL traffic for the conversion event. This way, you can fine-tune the rules based on specific circumstances. Choose contains, equals, and doesn&#8217;t contain to track the conversion values from each event. Then, go ahead and paste the code into your website. You can find more information about Facebook&#8217;s custom conversions in the documentation, or check out their Partner Integrations.<\/p>\n<p>Custom conversions can be used in several ways, including generating a URL for conversion confirmation and a pageview. You can create as many custom conversions as you need to measure the success of your marketing campaigns. These conversions should be targeted to those most likely to convert. For example, an online clothing store may create a carousel ad to promote its spring collection. This would raise brand awareness and convert visitors to sales by directing them to the appropriate pages in its website. Facebook pixels can help you track these actions with great precision.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_audiences\"><\/span>Custom audiences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you want to make your ads appear in front of new prospects or existing customers, Facebook&#8217;s pixel can help you reach them. Custom audiences help you tailor ads to specific groups of people and show them offers that they&#8217;re likely to buy. For example, if someone has purchased a product from your website within the past 30 days, you can exclude that person from seeing your ads. Similarly, if you want to target past customers, you can create lookalike audiences to reach them again.<\/p>\n<p>You can also create custom audiences based on your customer list. If you have enough data, you can upload your customer list to Facebook and it will match that information to those specific contacts. If your customer list is large enough, you can show ads only to those people who are already interested in your product or service. That way, you can revitalize the interest of your existing customers in your business. And if you&#8217;re using Facebook to promote your products, you can also make custom audiences based on your products.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_events\"><\/span>Custom events<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an online store, you may want to track user behavior using the Facebook Pixel. Events are when users take an action on your website. Facebook uses this data to create custom audiences and track conversion activity. For example, if a user purchases a product from your site, Facebook will send event data to your business account, including the value and currency of the purchase. If you use a standard Facebook Pixel, however, you&#8217;re leaving money on the table because it doesn&#8217;t record other actions that lead to a purchase, such as a pageview. This leads to poorer tracking and lower FB ad performance.<\/p>\n<p>To track custom data, go to your Pixel page and click on Custom Conversions. Click on this tab and you&#8217;ll see a list of events that the pixel is tracking. Each event has a name and URL, which you can click to learn more. You can also track conversions using Custom Audiences and Custom Parameters. Custom data is only available in Facebook Analytics, so you&#8217;ll need to know where to look to see what the data means.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_a_second_pixel\"><\/span>Setting up a second pixel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To set up a second Facebook pixel, you should follow the steps in the previous section. After creating the account, you must choose the type of connection you want to use and enter the name of the pixel. You may also need to paste the pixel code into your website&#8217;s global header. Be sure to paste the code in every page. This step is optional, but can help you determine if your pixel is working properly.<\/p>\n<p>A Facebook pixel can&#8217;t be used to track large numbers of visitors. Because it&#8217;s designed to track users going forward, it can only be used to track conversions going forward. As privacy concerns rise, the reach of a pixel is shortened. A website custom audience can help you improve your Facebook advertising six months from the initial installation. The Facebook pixel is unique to each page of a website and requires installing a 15-digit ID on every page.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"295\" width=\"527\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynTNs5FAUm8\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Create a Facebook Pixel If you&#8217;re new to social media marketing, you may be wondering how to create a Facebook pixel.
