Imagine you have an important YouTube video embedded on a page of your website. You can create a custom Facebook event to track, optimize, and retarget them with Facebook ads. One of the reasons I do that is because of the ease of creating custom events like this one. Create Facebook Pixel Events for Time Spent.

But one of the most common points of confusion I see is understanding the differences between custom events and custom conversions. This became especially obvious recently as I’ve written more about custom events. Custom Events To understand custom events, we first need to define “standard events.”

You should use Meta events to track important actions that happen on your website. While there are standard events for your typical transactions (purchase, lead, contact), I also use nine custom events that fire when important engagement occurs. These events benefit Meta advertising. Create a separate event.

For the past couple of years now, I’ve used Google Tag Manager to manage the Facebook pixel and events (both standard and custom events). I wish I would have started using GTM to manage my Facebook pixel and events sooner. Go into Facebook Events Manager and select your pixel as the data source.

It’s a weakness if you expect people who perform your optimization event to also perform other actions. Your performance goal is Conversions (number or value) and the conversion event is Purchases. But, which event should be the optimization event? But the algorithm doesn’t care about those other actions.

What I do know is that among its capabilities is sending web events for Facebook Conversions API. Something I didn’t immediately understand is that Zaraz isn’t a replacement for Google Tag Manager’s client-side events. Zaraz will only send the server-side events. We’ll need to address that later.
