How It is working
- The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that allows you to track visitor activity on your website which is used to monitor the product visits and event logs.
- It works by loading a small library of functions which you can use whenever a site visitor takes action (called an event) that you want to track (called a conversion).
- Tracked conversions appear in the Facebook Ads Manager and in the Facebook Analytics dashboard, where they can be used to measure the effectiveness of ads, to define custom audiences for ad targeting, for dynamic ads campaigns, and to analyze that effectiveness of your website’s conversion funnels.
- Mainly facebook pixel is used to create an analysis of your customer’s actions, i.e. product visited/searched, product added to cart, the product sold, Add to wish-list, etc. Based on this statistics facebook pixel shows that content in Facebook ads manager and the user can advertise according to that statistics.
