Don’t Forget to Use the Pixel if Running Facebook Ads Apr212021
Are you making use of Facebook ads?
If not, do you see Facebook ads in your future?
The Pixel is a beneficial element for businesses currently running Facebook ads, and for those who may run them in the future.
What is the Facebook Pixel?
The Pixel is a code that’s placed on a website to collect visitor data, and interacts with both your Facebook ads and your site. It allows you to see how people interact with your website after viewing your Facebook ad.
Viewing the collective data lets you easily track Facebook ad conversions, tweak ads for improved performance, configure targeted audiences for future ads, and define remarketing to those who’ve already taken action on your site.
The Facebook Pixel is for company owners who have a Facebook Business page.
Why is the Facebook Pixel Data Invaluable?
The Facebook Pixel establishes criteria so your Facebook ads are seen by those who are most likely to act on the desired action you’ve defined.
Using the Pixel data as a guideline allows for improved conversion rates, and prevents your business from spending excess money on ads that have no chance of performing.
Install the Facebook Pixel Before You Need It
For those business owners who aren’t currently running Facebook ads, the advantage to installing the Pixel now is so it can begin collecting data as soon as possible.
When you start running ads, you’ll have useful data to base your ad direction upon. If the Pixel isn’t installed until you’re ready to create ads - you’ll have to wait weeks/months for data to accumulate, and you’ll be placing ads blindly.
