If you are doing online business, you already know how significant Facebook Advertising is. And if you don't know, then you are missing something very important!

So, how do you make the best use of Facebook Ads?

The answer is very simple – run some ads on Facebook, right?

Well, trust me, my friend! It's not that easy.

Running or creating ads is easy, but the main thing that brings success is targeting the right people.

In today's blog, we will show you how you can target the right people for your WooCommerce store on Facebook.

Facebook Pixel for Your eCommerce Store

Facebook has its own pixel feature that allows you to collect behavioral data of customers and use them while creating ads.

It is simply a piece of code that drops cookies to track visitors on your website so that you can reconnect with them later and show your advertisements. As you may already know, this is called retargeting. When you show something to a person that they are interested about and has already seen them before, it is more like to convince them to buy that product or service.

Tracking Facebook Pixel Conversion for Your Store

As a marketer and also a business owner, you must know – how your visitors, users, and customers are interacting with your website. If you can feed this data to Facebook, targeting those people over the social media becomes easier.
