The Meta Pixel (formerly known as the Facebook Pixel) is a small piece of code you add to your website. This code allows Facebook to track user interactions with your business on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, giving you insights into how your audience engages with your content.
When you install a Meta Pixel on your website, it sends a signal to Facebook every time a user interacts with your content on your website or social media channels, such as liking a post or clicking on a link.
One of the key features of the Meta Pixel is that it uses cookies to track user interactions. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a user's device, such as their browser history or location data. By collecting this data, the Meta Pixel can provide insights into your audience's behavior and interests, ultimately allowing you to target them more effectively.
Installing a Meta Pixel is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Check your eligibility: You must meet the commerce eligibility requirements and have a Facebook Business account.
2. Create the Facebook pixel: Go to your “Business Settings” then “Events Manager” and navigate to “Connect Data Sources” on the left-hand side.
There, you’ll select “Web,” which will bring you to the "Create a Pixel" section. Enter all necessary information as prompted by Meta.
3. Add the Facebook pixel code to your website: Once you've created your pixel, copy the code provided and add it to the head section of your website's HTML code.
If you’re using your Fourthwall site, this will be super simple. Head to your admin dashboard and navigate to “Site design” and then “Analytics”. You can paste the code there, and then you’re all set!
