What is Facebook Pixel?
Facebook Pixel is a small piece of tracking code that you add to your website. Once installed, it monitors your visitors’ behavior—like viewing products, adding items to cart, or completing a purchase.
This data is then sent back to Facebook, helping you:
* Measure ad performance accurately
* Target the right audience
* Retarget visitors who didn’t purchase
* Build “lookalike audiences” similar to your best customers
