Facebook Ads Tracking Tips

Use Facebook's Dynamic Parameters

Facebook supports dynamic UTM parameters like {{ad.name}} and {{campaign.name}} that auto-fill with your ad details.

Separate Paid from Organic

Use "paid_social" for ads and "social" for organic posts. This keeps your analytics clean and attribution accurate.

Track Ad Sets and Ads

Use utm_content to differentiate between ad variations within the same campaign for A/B testing insights.
