Topics Discussed

  • Having success on the Facebook platform
  • Standard Facebook Events and Custom Conversions
  • Google Tag Manager

Key Takeaways

  • The number one element that we need to effectively use the Facebook platform for our businesses is the Facebook pixel. It will allow you to do three main things:
    • Track analytical data on your Facebook ads
    • Optimize your Facebook ads
    • Retarget audiences
  • The tracking code will be place on the page immediately after the desired action is taken. If someone is purchasing a product, the purchase event will go on the thank you page for that product.
  • Google Tag Manager allows you to have a dashboard to manage all your tracking events for your site in one single place rather than having to add unique event codes throughout your site.
  • Inside Tag Manager, you’ll be able to
    • Create a Tag (names: 30 seconds on a page, button click, etc.)
    • Input the Standard Facebook Event code inside the tag
    • Set a trigger (ie: when Tag Manager should fire that event to Facebook)
