As businesses continue to recover from the pandemic, attracting new customers is a top priority for many. At Vivial we often talk about social media’s value and its ability to build awareness and drive engagement with your target audience. But did you know that Facebook Ads are also an excellent tool for increasing conversions and bringing in new leads through your website?
Let’s break it down and discuss exactly what a conversion ad is and share examples of how conversion ads can be used.
What Is a Conversion Ad Objective?
The goal of a conversion ad is to drive a set action. This action can take place on your website, app, messenger, or WhatsApp.
Can Actions on Your Website Be Tracked as Conversions?
Yes! There are endless possibilities as to what can constitute a conversion action on your website. It all simply depends on the goal you are trying to achieve.
How Does Facebook Track Conversion Actions on Your Website?
Queue the Facebook pixel. Facebook’s pixel is a piece of code installed on your website that lets you measure, optimize, and build audiences for your Facebook Ad campaigns.
To set up conversion tracking, you need to first set up Facebook Business Manager. Once complete, you will have the ability to generate your pixel tracking code and identify actions you want to track in the Events Manager.
Common Conversion Actions
There are three frequently used conversion actions:
1. FORM FILLS: Using a form fill as a conversion action is great for any business with a product or service that requires a conversation first.
2. PURCHASE: Using a purchase as a conversion action is ideal for businesses that have eCommerce options on their website.
3. REGISTRATION: While you may think of an event registration as a form fill, many companies use 3rd party platforms to manage the event attendees.
If the platform gives you the option to forward users after completing the registration to a webpage of your choice, it can be re-directed to a “thank you for registering” landing page. Visiting that unique URL can then be tracked as an event with Facebook Pixel.
