Pixel Installation

First, get your pixel code from Events Manager.

Click the "Add Events" button in Events Manager, and then press "From a New Website" in the dropdown menu.

In the pop-up, select "Install Code Manually" and then copy the code to Notepad, as you will need to make adjustments:

The next steps will depend upon the website builder you are using, whether it's ClickFunnels, LeadPages, WordPress, Squarespace, etc... but you will need to perform it in the same manner.

For the Landing Page, the page that people first visit after clicking your ad, the initial code you copied into Notepad does not need adjustments. Add it to the landing page, whether in a "Custom HTML" block, or the header, etc.

For the Special Offer page or "Thank You For Signing Up" page, you will need to insert an extra line of code.

Copy and paste the line "fbq('track', 'PageView');" immediately below it, and change the word "PageView" to "Lead" on the new line:

Copy this new pixel code script into the "Thank You For Signing Up" page or Special Offer page.

After a customer makes a purchase, such as for a VIP Reservation that costs $1, you will want to modify the pixel script again with "fbq('track', 'Purchase');" and insert it into the "Thank You For Your Purchase" page.

Your pixel is now installed on your site! 

Verify your pixel is working with the "Meta Pixel Helper" browser-plugin:
