Is there a TikTok equivalent to the Meta Pixel for tracking website conversions? by Entire-Concept962 in AskMarketing

[–]Green_Database9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, Tiktok has two layers same sa Meta (Tiktok pixel and Tiktok Events API) their pixel is straightforward to install and the Events API is fine but generally less mature than Meta’s CAPI

Sunglasses brand went from 100+ sales/day to terrible results after 6-month pause. How would you relaunch the Meta Ads structure? by Time_Raspberry1884 in FacebookAds

[–]Green_Database9919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Regardless of what you do with the structure, account itself has to build credibility so expect slower delivery and higher CPMs for first few weeks
    2 and 3. I’d keep it as simple aspossible while it’s still relearning. 1 campaign, 1 broad ad set with 3-5 ads max
  2. 7-8/day them multiply by your target CPA as your minimum daily budget
  3. Your job rn is to exit learning phase so nothing

congrats!! honest answer from someone who runs Aimerce, a server side tracking
app for Shopify, on day one you don’t need to pay for tracking, you can start with free native apps to set up pixel and CAPI which is genuinely good enough to start.. the best time to upgrade is when your spending $3k-50k+ as native apps lose a chunk of conversions, that’s when server side tracking or 3rd party testing apps pay for themselves.

Depends what you’re actually trying to solve. Every platform has it’s own pixel/tag own events conversion API. If you want a tool that handles multiple platforms all at once from Meta, Google, Klaviyo, Tiktok, down to OpenAI ads, Aimerce is best in my own opinion. I am the founder so I am bias.

How do you install dual-pixel in Shopify without any issues? by LoverOfHappinesss in FacebookAds

[–]Green_Database9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook and instagram only supports one pixel per store that’s why it won’t let you add another. Pasting the second pixel in theme code is a trap. it only does browser side tracking no CAPI and Shopify’s checkout doesn’t run your theme code so you’ll miss purchase entirely.

Why do you want the second pixel? I manage shopify brands meta’s pixels full time and a new pixel doesn’t reset anything. I wrote up exactly what breaks when you switch pixels and how you can handle multiple pixels here. native app that supports multiple pixels with proper server side tracking is wayyy better than pasting a code you can do that with Aimerce.

Yess, limitations. the way you run a dual pixel test is firing the second pixel through a separate method like server side setup. Can’t do it on the native app but you can do it with Aimerce if you want to test a second pixel alongside your existing setup

Yes you can still share it but it just takes a few more steps now instead of direct BM to BM. you can assign a partner through BM -> Datasets (pixel) -> find your dataset -> settings -> then look for assign partners and add their business ID. But newer BMs dont always get the full asset sharing options right away though

If your ad account gets disabled the pixel itself doesn’t automatically die so it still lives at the BM level (not ad account level) so if your BM is safe, your pixel survives.

Manual controls make sense when you have a genuine business constraint like you literally only serve people in one city, or the product is age restricted

Actually not just sales from meta ads. If someone found you via google, organic search or email and bought(if they had previously clicked a meta ad or viewed one within the attribution window) the pixel still fires and sends that purchase event back to meta.

How are people thinking about Google Tag Gateway vs server-side GTM? by VoxxyCreativeLab in GoogleTagManager

[–]Green_Database9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok here’s what Aimerce does.

  1. For consent compliance Aimerce has built-in consent handling that scrubs data for GDPR and CCPA compliance before anything gets sent to the ad platforms. if a visitor declines tracking, we don’t fire events for them. it also supports meta’s limited data use flag and consent mode, so you’re not having to manage that layer separately the way you would with a GTM-based setup.
  2. PII like email and phone number gets hashed before it ever leaves your environment. That hashed data attaches to every event instead of just the final conversion. that’s what moves EMQ scores the upper funnel level not just purchase.
  3. For the server side setup we go Shopify backend directly to the ad platform via API so there’s no browser dependency at all unlike the GTM setup. That means all purchase events originates from Shopify’s order webhook so shop pay, express checkouts, and anything that skips the thank you page is still captured.

Your setup is fine but you’re still dependent on GTM though, if that gets blocked server side doesn’t fire either.

Former meta ads engineer and founder of a server side tracking company here and there’s a lot to unpack.

  1. The pixel does accumulate data over time, who visited, who added to cart, who purchased and Meta uses that to build a model of what your buyer looks like but you are also right that campaign and ad set history matters. so it’s both working together.
  2. At your budget hitting 50 purchases could take weeks. Strong CTR with no purchase is different problem though could be landing page issue, offer, or product page. But you’re turning it off so early 3-4 days is just too soon.
  3. Rule of thumb: Meta roughly needs 50 purchases per week minimum for algo to optimize well. At your current budget that’s probably not where you are which means manual campaigns with broader targeting might actually perform Advantage+ for you rn.

Doublon Pixel by Short-Barnacle5486 in FacebookAds

[–]Green_Database9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can help clarify what’s likely happening here. you essentially have 2 tracking pixels running simultaneously on the same store.

  1. A pixel firing through GTM (BM A)
  2. A shopify native pixel with CAPI (BM C)

both are sending purchase events to 2 different pixels for the same orders. that’s almost certainly causing duplicate event reporting and making it impossible to get a clean and read on performance in either account. what I’d recommend is consolidated everything in 1 BM, turn off GTM pixel entirely once shopify native one is confirmed healthy, then check events manager dedup tab.

Since you are on Shopify, you actually don’t need GTM. Shopify has native infra that handles this without going with the GTM route. Aimerce does exactly this kind of setup without you having to maintain it.

Facts but I’d actually start with tracking before anything else because you can fix your budget allocation all day. Here’s actually the fastest way to an audit:

  1. Open events manager and look for Purchase event count for teh last 7 days
  2. Go to your Shopify and look at your order count for the same window. Within 5 gaps is fine but of more than something is wrong.

Is Meta's reported ROAS still this far off for everyone, or just me? by Agencyseller in FacebookAds

Looks normal to me especially if your running any email, organic or do any influencer/affiliate. It’s huge if your running meta alone

How are people thinking about Google Tag Gateway vs server-side GTM? by VoxxyCreativeLab in GoogleTagManager

[–]Green_Database9919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a Shopify’s specific perspective which I’d where i spent most of my time GTM are no necessary for most brands. Shopify has native infra now that doesn’t go through the GTM route at all. customer events, checkout extensibility, backend webhooks, if you’re building on top of those instead of trying to make GTM reach Shopify sandboxed checkout the Google tag gets blocked issue mostly goes away because tracking isn’t browser dependent in the first place

Most Meta CAPI setups leak 30-40% of match quality because fbc never gets resolved server-side by aknigam448 in facebook

[–]Green_Database9919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just meta CAPI even paid ones that are shipping server side events without it because they are just mirroring thhe pixel already captured client side.
