What is a Facebook pixel?

Facebook Pixel is an excellent opportunity to show your website to people who are already interested in your website. How does it do that?

Well, Facebook pixel is a way to retarget visitors by sending them a cookie that tells us that these people are interested in your website.

When they are on Facebook, they get sent new ads from your website, and since they have already visited your website, they’re more likely to engage.

This is called retargeting marketing.

Adding the Facebook pixel doesn’t affect your site in any way – the pixel is completely invisible to visitors.

Why use Facebook Pixel to boost your social media reach?

Here’s why you should consider Facebook Pixel:

  • Conversion tracking: you can use the pixel to understand how effectively your ads get signups or sales.
  • Remarketing: with the data collected by the Facebook pixel, you can show targeted ads to people who have already visited your website.
  • Optimized ads: you can optimize your Facebook ads for specific conversion events.

We hope this article helped you with the installation of the Facebook remarketing/retargeting pixel in Framer.
