Tracking Conversions

Tracking Conversions

URL Tags tell Google Analytics what you want it to know about your conversions.

1) Type utm_source=facebook as a minimum but consider using the Google URL builder https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en#using_the_url_builder

Conversion Tracking Pixels are a fantastic little know function of Facebook.  Much like the Website Custom Audiences that we created earlier, they sit on your landing pages and tell Facebook all sorts of information that it uses to make your campaigns convert better.

2) Choose Track all conversions from my Facebook pixel. Make sure you have used the Extension to place your Landing Page and Thank You page pixels.

Edit the Adset

Edit the Adset

The Thank You Page

This is an optional but really important page.

If you’re using Instapage, you’ll need to upgrade your account to have a 2nd landing page but the need is really high in my opinion.

Firstly, you can instruct your new subscriber to check their SPAM folder for your email which increases conversions.

Secondly, you can install an Optimized Tracking Pixel which gets triggered if someone subscribes, which tells Facebook the type of person likely to convert.  This helps it increase conversions.

Thirdly, you can create a lookalike audience from pixels too, which means once you get over 100 subscribers, Facebook can create an audience of people who are likely to subscribe from you.  Which means more highly targeted prospects to put back into the top of your marketing funnel.

In short, for the sake of one extra landing page, you can complete a full circle of prospects turning into leads to find more prospects to turn into leads.

Go to Instapage and upgrade (or make one where ever you can).
