Are Facebook pixels important?  Do I need them or not?

What is a Facebook Pixel?

A Facebook pixel is code that you place on your website. It helps you track conversions from Facebook ads, optimize ads based on collected data, build targeted audiences for future ads, and re-market to qualified leads—people who have already taken some kind of action on your website.

Basically a pixel is spying on the people who are visiting the pages on your website where you have a pixel code.  We want to know who they are, what they are doing, what they are like. The more we know about the kind of people visiting our page, the more we can customize our ads on Facebook to target and reach those people.

Have you ever googled something or went on a website and then you get on Facebook and scroll a little bit and then BAM there goes the ad for the same shit you were just looking at?!?!? That scary shit is pixels at work!

The Facebook Pixel helps you figure out who is your audience based on specific actions that they have taken, like completed a form, clicked a product, etc. It helps to retarget them when you create a Facebook ad.
