In this video, I show you exactly how to test your Meta Pixel events using the Test Events tool inside Meta Ads Manager.
Most advertisers install the Meta Pixel and assume it’s working correctly, but in reality, we find that 50–60% of ad accounts we audit have broken or misfiring event tracking.
Sometimes events don’t fire at all.
Sometimes events fire twice.
And sometimes the wrong events trigger completely.
When that happens, Meta’s algorithm starts optimising campaigns using incorrect data, which can quietly burn through your ad spend without you realising.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to:
• Test Meta Pixel events using Events Manager
• Check whether events are firing correctly
• Identify duplicate or incorrect events
• Ensure conversions are tracked properly before launching campaigns
If you run Meta Ads, testing your events before launching campaigns is absolutely essential.
Broken tracking data leads to poor optimisation and wasted ad spend, so make sure your events are firing correctly first.
