How To Install Facebook Pixel in Wordpress

Social Media Website Tracking WordPress

With Digital Marketing, there are several ways to market to your customers and one of the great tools is something we refer to as remarketing. Remarketing is a very powerful tool and comes with a conversion rate of up to 5%, so if your business is not remarketing to your website visitors then you’re missing out.

Facebook remarketing uses a piece of code installed on your website, otherwise known as the Meta Pixel. It can help you reach people who have previously visited your website by showing relevant ads across Facebook and Instagram.

This can take many different forms. For example, imagine you have an online store selling 4WD bull bars for major vehicle brands. A visitor views a bull bar for a Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series but leaves without making a purchase. You can then use Meta Custom Audiences to show that visitor relevant ads for the product on Facebook or Instagram, increasing the likelihood that they return to your website and complete their purchase.

Head over to Meta Business Manager and open Events Manager to begin setting up your Meta Pixel.
