Facebook pixel, a piece of JavaScript code that allows you to measure, optimize, and build an audience for your campaign, allows you to monitor conversions by tracking actions as a result of an ad. Consider this the backbone of nearly all successful Facebook ads. It also allows you to market to those who interact with their website and to create a lookalike audience after the pixel has tracked a minimum of 100 conversions.
Benefits of the Facebook Pixel
Benefits of the Facebook Pixel
Facebook Pixel has four main benefits:
1) It obtains basic analytics on website visitors, providing a secondary resource to google analytics or other large analytics companies.
2) It allows you to re-market towards visitors who have visited specific pages of your site. For example, you can show couch related ads only to those who have viewed couches on your website.
3) You can run custom audience insights on the visitors of your website. This allows you to access never before seen demographic information on users such as age, gender, location, interest, and behaviors.
4) It allows you to run Dynamic Product Ads or re-marketing ads on Instagram.
