14.3.2023

In this article we will talk about what conversion is, how to properly track conversions and other important things that will help you achieve your goals.

If you have already used the system Facebook's advertising And going through the types of campaigns that Facebook offers us to advertise with, surely you have come to the conclusion at some point that the conversion campaign is the campaign that brings you the most purchases or leads on the site.

I'm here to put things in order and that's why I've put together a detailed guide explaining the types of conversions that can be tracked with Facebook's Pixel and how to set them up.

What is conversion?

Conversion is an action that a surfer performs and is considered the achievement of some goal according to the definitions of the objectives of the business.
For example — an ecommerce website will define as conversion in-store purchases and newsletter signups.
Another example — a service provider's image site will define a conversion that the user will leave next to (fill out a form on the site).

How do we track Facebook conversions?

Conversion tracking is done using a pixel embedded in the site code and tracks user activity.

Actions such as:

PAGE VIEWS, PRODUCT PAGE VIEWS, CART ADDITIONS, CHECKOUT, PURCHASES AND MORE CONVERSIONS THAT CAN BE GENERATED AND CUSTOMIZED LIKE CLICKING ON A SPECIFIC LINK/BUTTON, CERTAIN BEHAVIOR YOU WANT TO TRACK ON THE SITE, ETC.

Attention! BECAUSE AFTER THE IOS UPDATE, EMBEDDING THE FACEBOOK PIXEL IN THE WAY THAT YOUR USUAL RECOGNITION NO LONGER DOES THE JOB WELL AND MAKES YOU MISS A LOT OF SURFERS!

It is possible using the plug-in of Pixel Your Site Which I personally use myself and also with my clients, the pro version of the plugin simplifies the process and helps you set up not only tracking conversions such as purchases, adding to cart, leads.. But far beyond that. Embed Facebook's Pixel in a way where it will track all conversions and all this in a few simple clicks and also have a video tutorial on how to do step by step.

Likewise, The plugin gives us Whole-shell and the option to track Icomers events or other Google leads The new Analytics 4, TikTok, Google Ads and more, so as I said its use is not exclusively for Facebook but for the rest of the popular advertising platforms and all in one plug-in and in a few individual minutes of setting.

Using the Pixel Ur Site plugin for tracking:

Log in to the site pixelyoursite.com

ONCE A YEAR THERE IS A BUNDLE AND THE SUPPLEMENT IS OFFERED AT AN ATTRACTIVE LIFETIME PRICE RATHER THAN FOR A YEAR ONLY.

It is important to note that even after a year you have the option to use the plugin but you will not have updates/support.

Choose what is right for you, if you are doing it using Patti and one website then go for the PixelYourSite Professional

If you are an agency or are doing this for use on more than one site and would like the rest of the company's familiar plugins go for the bandwagon as well.

Choose the right package for you according to the number of sites you need the plugin

After payment, you will receive the extension for download and you can also download it from your personal area.

In addition, you will find in the email you receive and in the personal area the license number that will be used by you after installing the extension to activate it.

In addition if you go further down you will find another amazing option that will set you up a lot of ivants with the click of a button for Google Analytics and also for the rest of the platforms if you want easily and quickly. (SUCH IVANTS WHEN SET UP MANUALLY CAN TAKE MANY HOURS OF WORK)

As you can see in the image with the click of a button you can follow the following events:

  • Clicks on internal links within the site
  • CLICKS ON LINKS LEADING OFFSITE
  • Video views
  • Clicks on phone calls
  • Clicking on email addresses
  • Tracking the leaving of details in forms on the site
  • Track enrollments
  • Tracking user logins
  • Download Tracking
  • responses
  • Adsense
  • Scrolling of site users by percentage
  • Surfers Stays
  • Searches by surfers

In addition, instead of generating iVents in Manager Tag or Analytics 4 directly, you can simply create an Ivant directly in the plugin and decide where you want to send it!

For example — If we want to track a button click on a website, we can generate an Ivant based on a specific action of the browser on the button and send this event to Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel and Google Ads in the simplest way possible!

Take note — If you use the plugin, then there is no need to proceed with the pixel embedding form as detailed later in the article.
