Creating a Facebook Meta Pixel

Not sure if you have a Facebook Meta Pixel?

Go to Meta Events Manager, or business manager, log in, and on the left-hand side, there should be your practice name and an ID. The ID number is your Meta Pixel ID.
  1. The Meta Pixel needs to be installed on both sites… or as many sites as there are in the customer’s journey
  2. The site where the actual conversion takes place must be set up to trigger a conversion event
  3. The Business Manager account, and possibly the Campaigns and Ads need to have cross-domain tracing enabled as have all of the domains specified.

It’s important to follow Meta Pixel’s set-up process.

Creating a Meta Pixel

  1.  Go to Meta Events Manager.
  2. Click the green circle with a plus sign in it and then Connect data sources and select Web.
  3. Click Connect.
  4. Enter a name for your pixel and click Create. This will create a new ID that you can view in Events Manager. Note: Events from your Meta Pixel are shared to a dataset, which groups events from different sources. Your new dataset ID is the same as your new pixel ID.
  5. Enter your website URL to check for easy partner integration setup options and click Check.
    • If a partner integration is available to you, you’ll see it on the screen. Click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to set up your pixel and events through your partner’s website.
