There are three main sources through which Facebook Pixels collects data about ads:
- Standard conversion tracking
- Custom conversion tracking
- Advanced matching
Here is the list of standard stuff that you can track using Facebook Pixels:
1. Track key page views like product page views
2. Track searches on your website
3. Track when items are added to cart
4. Track when items are added to wish list
5. Track when people enter the checkout flow
6. Track when payment information is added to the checkout flow
7. Track purchases or checkout flow completions
8. Track when a user expresses interest in your offering Track when a registration form is completed
However, with the custom conversion features you can also track much more. Define a conversion from a combination of events and parameters or traffic from specific URLs. Learn about their locations, interests and behaviors, so you can create messages that will help your business grow.
Here are a few measurement benefits of leveraging Facebook Pixels for Facebook ads:
- Cross device conversions:
- Conversion measurement lets you track actions people take after viewing your Facebook ads across multiple devices, including mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers.
- Know your prospect:
- When you create a Facebook Pixel and add it to the pages of your website where conversions happen, it works like the checkout page. You’ll be able to see who converts as a result of your Facebook Ads.
- Ad optimization:
- When you use the Facebook Pixel in combination with the bidding option “Optimize for Website Conversions”, Facebook will automatically show your ads to people who are most likely to convert. Measurement: You can measure the number of conversions your ads generate to calculate your returns on ad spend. That way you’ll see how much you’re spending for each conversion and can fine-tune your ads accordingly
Here is the entire list of information you get from Facebook through its ads reporting:
It’s not just you, but even Facebook learns this user behavior pattern and leverages it to optimize the ad campaigns for better ROAs. But then there is a limit to what Facebook can learn about the users using Pixels. However, there is a feature provided by Facebook called “Advanced Matching” which allows advertisers to leverage their own customer data such as email address, phone number etc. This enables advertisers to perfect their custom audience.
