The PixelYourSite plugin allows us to embed the pixels of Facebook Ads, Google Ads (only in the paid version), and Google Analytics automatically, and without friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, you can download the plugin itself from the WordPress plugin library for free<\/a>. For additional features, such as the Google Ads integration, you’ll need to purchase the PRO version<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Facebook pixel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who do not yet have a pixel – you’ll need to first create a new pixel and embed it on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to Facebook Events Manager<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately afterward we click on the plus sign “+”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Web <\/em>and continue by clicking Get Started<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select Facebook Pixel<\/em> and click Connect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Give your pixel a descriptive name and you are set to go. Now, copy the Facebook pixel number so you can install it using the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will proceed to install the PIxelYourSite plugin on our WordPress site. You can get the free version here<\/a> or the PRO version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the installation, we can edit the plugin’s settings by clicking on the Dashboard link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embedding the Facebook pixel to your site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to embed the Facebook pixel into your site, all  you have to do is add the ID of the Facebook pixel in the dedicated field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important: We do not need the full code, only the ID (the number we copied in the first step).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding the Facebook Pixel ID<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do not forget to click Save Settings after pasting the ID of the pixel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can adjust additional settings by clicking on Facebook Settings in the plugin’s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling Enable Advanced Matching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When Advanced Matching is enabled, the plugin will send additional match data for site visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a feature of Facebook that allows you to safely send additional information about your visitors. This information helps Facebook identify and match the visitor with an actual Facebook account. This is useful in cases where Facebook can’t handle it otherwise, such as a device with multiple accounts (e.g. a family PC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plugin will send information such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
