Where do I find my Meta Pixel ID?

How to Find or Create a Meta Pixel ID


Meta Pixel (formerly known as Facebook Pixel) is a powerful tool for tracking website visitors and their actions. This guide will walk you through the process of finding your existing Meta Pixel ID or creating a new one if you don't have one yet.


Finding Your Existing Meta Pixel ID


If you've already set up a Meta Pixel for your website, here's how to find its ID:


  1. Go to Meta Business Suite.
  2. Click on "All Tools" in the sidebar.
  3. Under the "Measure & Report" section, click on "Events Manager".
  4. In the left sidebar, click on "Pixels".
  5. You should see a list of your pixels. The Pixel ID is displayed next to each pixel's name.


If you can't find your Pixel ID through these steps, it's possible that you haven't created one yet. In that case, follow the instructions below to create a new Meta Pixel.


Creating a New Meta Pixel


To create a new Meta Pixel:


  1. Go to Meta Business Suite.
  2. Click on "All Tools" in the sidebar.
  3. Under the "Measure & Report" section, click on "Events Manager".
  4. Click the "+" button and select "Web" from the dropdown menu.
  5. Select "Facebook Pixel" and click "Connect".
  6. Enter a name for your pixel and click "Create Pixel".


Once you've created your new pixel, you'll be provided with a Pixel ID. Make sure to save this ID as you'll need it to implement the pixel on your website.


Implementing Your Meta Pixel


After finding or creating your Meta Pixel ID, you'll need to add it to your website. Here are the general steps:


  1. Copy the Pixel base code (which includes your Pixel ID).
  2. Paste this code into the <head> section of your website's HTML.
  3. Add event codes to track specific actions on your site.


For detailed implementation instructions, refer to Meta's official documentation or consult with your web developer.


Best Practices


  • Only use one Meta Pixel per website to avoid data duplication.
  • Regularly check your pixel's status in the Events Manager to ensure it's working correctly.
  • Comply with Meta's policies and obtain necessary user consent for data collection.


Remember, proper use of Meta Pixel can significantly enhance your marketing efforts by providing valuable insights into your website visitors and their behaviors.
