FAQ’s
1. What is the Facebook Pixel, and why is it important?
The Facebook Pixel is a piece of code that you add to your website to track visitor behavior, such as page views, clicks, or conversions. It allows you to gather data that can help you optimize your Facebook ads, measure performance, and create retargeting campaigns based on user behavior.
2. How do I add the Facebook Pixel code to my website?
To add the Facebook Pixel code:
Go to your website builder and select the funnel or page where you want to track events.
In the funnel or page overview, go to the "Events" tab, click “Add event,” and enter your Pixel ID.
You can choose to track events at the funnel/website level or on specific pages.
For individual page tracking, add the event-specific code in the tracking code section of that page (usually in the footer).
3. What is the Facebook Conversion API, and how does it work?
The Facebook Conversion API allows you to send events directly from your server to Facebook, providing a more reliable way to track events that may not be captured by the browser Pixel (e.g., due to ad blockers). You can enable this by selecting the Conversion API option and entering your access token.
4. Can I track events at both the funnel level and specific page level?
Yes, you can. Funnel-level tracking monitors events across the entire customer journey, while page-specific tracking focuses on particular actions taken on individual pages. You can configure both depending on your needs.
5. How do I track multiple events or use multiple Pixel IDs?
You can manage multiple Pixel IDs by adding them in the “Events” section. Each ID can be configured separately, and you can view and manage them all in a summary table for easy access.
6. What events can I track using the Facebook Pixel?
You can track standard events like page views, leads, purchases, and custom events. The standard events include actions like ‘Add to Cart,’ ‘Initiate Checkout,’ and more. You can find a full list of Facebook’s standard events here.
7. What’s the difference between using the Facebook Pixel and the Conversion API?
The Facebook Pixel tracks events using the browser, which can be affected by ad blockers or other restrictions. The Conversion API sends data directly from your server, ensuring more accurate tracking. Combining both provides the most comprehensive tracking setup.
