A Facebook pixel is a piece of code that you can add to your website to track conversions, optimize ads, and build audiences for future ad campaigns. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up a new Facebook pixel.
Step 1: Create a Facebook Business Account
If you don’t already have a Facebook business account, create one by going to Facebook for Business. Once you have created your account, log in and navigate to the Ads Manager section.
Step 2: Create a New Facebook Pixel
In the Ads Manager section, click on the “Pixels” tab. If you don’t already have a pixel, click on the “Create a Pixel” button. Give your pixel a name and select the website you want to track.
Step 3: Install the Facebook Pixel Code
After creating your pixel, Facebook will provide you with a piece of code that you need to add to your website. Copy this code and paste it into the <head> section of your website’s HTML code.
Step 4: Verify Your Pixel
Once you have installed the pixel code, Facebook will need to verify that it is working correctly. To do this, Facebook will send a test event to your pixel. You can check if your pixel is working by going to the “Pixels” tab in the Ads Manager section and clicking on the “Verify Pixel” button.
Step 5: Create Events
To track specific actions on your website, you will need to create events. To do this, go to the “Pixels” tab in the Ads Manager section and click on the “Events” button. From here, you can create custom events or use Facebook’s predefined events.
Step 6: Create Audiences
Once you have created your events, you can start building audiences based on these events. To do this, go to the “Audiences” tab in the Ads Manager section and click on the “Create Audience” button. From here, you can create custom audiences or use Facebook’s predefined audiences.
Step 7: Create Ad Campaigns
Now that you have your pixel set up and your audiences created, you can start creating ad campaigns. To do this, go to the “Campaigns” tab in the Ads Manager section and click on the “Create Campaign” button. From here, you can create a new campaign or use Facebook’s predefined campaign types.
