How Do You Mark People With the Facebook Pixel?
If we are being technical about it, actually the code doesn’t do any targeting. Instead, it is the substance for targeting.
It’s up to you to instruct Facebook on how to target.
Inside of your Facebook Business Manager, you can generate “Custom Audiences” with rules ranging from elementary to super compound.
Facebook Pixel’s Additional Targeting Options
Lookalike Audiences
One of the nice things about Facebook advertising is “Lookalike Audiences”. You can design Lookalike audiences to reflect the character of your best customers.
The code will know about who did what on your website, and the Facebook platform can use that data to recognize the people who share the alike traits as your visitors.
Standard and Custom Events
One can also use it to create what are called “custom events,” which are the more evolved relative of “standard events.” The standard events are the actions that the Facebook Pixel tracks automatically, like “add to cart” and “purchase. This could be all sorts of different stuff – scroll depth, button clicks, and video tracking also.
Custom Conversions
Another fascinating thing about the Facebook Pixel is the ability to create Custom Conversions. For example, one can use and encourage by saying “thank you for subscribing, here’s your 20% discount coupon.” And because the tracking pixel is already running on your website, it can track when and where someone arrives on a completion page.
One can also select a conversion category and enter a monetary value for the custom conversion. For an instance, if you create one that tracks people to a product confirmation page, you can include the cost of the product.
The real take in this matter is that whether you’re using out of the box events or customising more advanced events, the custom audiences you create are pinned by Facebook Pixel data.
Technical Details
You can always dig around with Google Chrome’s “Developer Tools” which is a standard form in the Chrome Browser. That’s the tool we used earlier to look at all of the code firings during our shopping trips at any leading brand.
Keep not: You can run retargeting campaigns without knowing about this stuff. a heads up that there are some tools existing if you want to dig around.
