Meta unveils Event Coverage stats for advertisers

Meta introduces statistics for Conversions API users, allowing advertisers to view and compare browser and server event data.

Chat with SearchBot

Meta rolled out a new feature for advertisers using its Conversions API, offering insights into event data transmission.

Why we care. This tool provides advertisers with a clearer picture of how their data is being captured and sent to Meta, potentially improving ad targeting and performance measurement.

The details:

  • The “Event Coverage” feature shows the total count of browser and server events sent to Meta.
  • It’s accessible through the Events Manager in Meta Business Manager.

Best practices:

  1. Use both sources: Meta recommends sending events from both the browser Pixel and Conversions API.
  2. Compare counts: Server events should equal or exceed browser events.

How to access:

  1. Open Events Manager in Meta Business Manager
  2. Navigate to events “Overview”
  3. Choose a specific event
  4. Click “View details”
  5. Select “Event coverage”
