Key takeaways
- Install base pixel
- Use Pixel Helper
- Track conversions
Try it yourself first
Install via GTM when possible - easier to maintain than editing theme header repeatedly.
Running Meta ads without a verified pixel means flying blind on conversions - and hurts optimization after iOS privacy changes.
