Importance of TikTok Pixel

Before we begin running ads, it is critical to set up the TikTok Pixel on your Shopify store. The TikTok Pixel helps track events and collect data that can be utilized to optimize our campaigns. If your pixel isn't active, your events will not track correctly, and we won't yield any valuable data from our campaigns.

Make sure you have the TikTok Pixel set up and your events are active. If your events are inactive, we must initiate our campaigns and set them to be active.

Campaign Launch Steps

  1. Create Your Campaign:

    • Once your pixel is integrated, log in to your TikTok ad account and click on the “Create” button.
    • You will be prompted to choose a campaign objective. Since we aim to drive purchases, select "Conversions."

  2. Naming Your Campaign:

    • Always choose a descriptive name so you can analyze it later easily. For example, if today’s campaign is for shoes, label the campaign "Face Zero - Shoes."

  3. Setting Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO):

    • You have the option to utilize CBO, which allows you to set your budget at the campaign level instead of the ad set level. I recommend keeping it off at the start, especially if this is your first campaign.

  4. Ad Group Configuration:

    • Next, you need to create your Ad Group. Here, you will set your target audience. For the very first campaign, it is best to keep the audience broad without any specific interests to test your creatives effectively.
    • You will find options for audience targeting based on country, age, gender, and interests.

  5. Add Your Creative:

    • In this section, you will upload your video ad. Ensure it’s engaging and corresponds to your product, in this case, shoes.
    • Add text that highlights your offer, but remember that TikTok’s style leans towards visual content.

  6. Website & Conversion Tracking:

    • Link your website as the destination for the ads. You can also set up action buttons like “Shop Now.”
    • Ensure you select the appropriate events for conversion tracking. For new campaigns, I recommend starting with “Complete Payment” to give your pixel robust learning data.

  7. Ad Placement and Budget:

    • Always choose automatic placements initially. Set your budget to a reasonable amount – starting with $ 20 is a good practice.

  8. Final Review and Launch:

    • Review all settings, double-check your ads, and submit your campaign. Once your campaign is live, monitor its performance and make necessary adjustments.

Throughout the upcoming series, we’ll delve deeper into each strategy for scaling your ads and optimizing your creatives and targeting. Make sure to stay tuned and join our community for support!
