Integrating the conversion pixel has two main interests:

Retargeting capabilities through custom audiences.
8. Use the reports
There is a feature we are talking about quite a few on the Facebook Ads platform; these are the reports. They are easily accessible and provide valuable data to track and optimize your campaign.

9. The relevance score
The ad relevance score is one of the latest additions to the Facebook Ads platform. Indeed, for a few months now, Facebook indicates a relevance score for ads. To put it simply, relevance indicates a level of quality of ads about your audience.

Ultimately, this pertinence works like Google Adwords, namely, the higher your relevance, the higher your cost will be low. However, Facebook also says that if your index of relevance is low and your ads are broadcast correctly with a correct cost, it is better not to change anything (and keep a low-quality level).

Clearly, the tool is neither instinctive nor ergonomic! However, it allows you to edit a large number of ads easily. It takes violence to use the tool but after a few hours and a little sweat, everything clears up.
The tool is available here from Chrome.
11. Planning
As with all advertising platforms, consider setting up your campaign schedules to start exactly the time you want (end date).
Also remember to schedule broadcast schedules to optimize the visibility of your campaigns. Depending on your targets and the activity on your page, you can set the time ranges most suitable for your goal.
