What Is Facebook Pixel?

The Facebook Pixel is a small, but powerful piece of code that gives you analytics about your Leadpages (or any other) page.

Here are a few things the Facebook Pixel makes possible:

  • Remarketing – showing ads to people who have visited your website, but haven’t taken action yet (remarketing)
  • Track conversions and people who signed up for your offers
  • Understand your website traffic better – who the visitors are and what they’re doing on your website

It’s similar to Google Analytics, but more specifically helps you optimize your Facebook Ads campaigns.
