What are conversions?

A conversion is a completed desired action by a user on a website. This could be anything from making a purchase, to signing up for a newsletter, to downloading a white paper. In paid social advertising, conversions are generally tracked as events that happen after a user clicks on an ad. The most common conversion tracking pixel is the Facebook pixel, which is a piece of code that is placed on a website to track conversions. There are also other third-party conversion tracking pixels that can be used, such as the Google Analytics conversion tracking code.

Why are conversions important?

Conversions are important because they represent the success of a paid social advertising campaign in achieving its objectives. For example, if the objective of a campaign is to generate leads, then the number of leads generated will be tracked as a conversion. If the objective of a campaign is to increase sales, then the number of sales will be tracked as a conversion. Conversions are also important because they can be used to calculate return on investment (ROI) for a paid social advertising campaign.
