What’s Advanced Matching in Facebook Pixel? Why to Consider it?

Facebook launched its Advanced Matching feature for Pixel 2 years ago. Surprisingly, many people are not using it and don’t know its benefits. Saying by experience, once you know about it, you will definitely get excited and start creating your campaigns with it at the first chance! What’s the Big Deal?

The power of Facebook Pixel is that it helps advertisers understand users across devices. This not only enables accurate conversion tracking but also helps build a better target audience. The only challenge over here is that the user must be logged into Facebook to track the data.

With Advanced Matching feature, Pixel sends hashed data of email, name, city, date of birth as additional Pixel tracking parameters. The new Facebook Advanced Matching Pixel allows brands to use even more parameters to track consumer actions and conversions in a sharper way.
