Pixel + Conversion API setup

We install and set up conversion tracking: the ad pixel + server-side Conversion API (CAPI) — Meta CAPI, Yandex/VK events, events via GTM/server. Honestly and bluntly upfront: this is the setup of MEASUREMENT, NOT advertising and NOT a guarantee of sales. Correct tracking helps to optimize and count, but by itself it does not create sales. And critically about privacy: we set up data collection accounting for user consent (152-FZ/GDPR, cookie banner) — without hidden surveillance. Platform availability (e.g. Meta in the RF) is checked honestly. Without promises of sales growth from the setup itself.

Pixel + Conversion API setup — overview

Pixel + Conversion API setup — price, timeline & scope

Pixel + Conversion API setup is the configuration of a conversion measurement system: installing the ad pixel (browser event collection) and the server-side Conversion API/CAPI (sending events from the server, resilient to blockers/cookie restrictions), setting up events (view, cart, lead, purchase, value), browser+server deduplication, checking via debuggers, linking to ad accounts, basic analytics. The work: site/goals audit, an event plan, installation (often via GTM/a server container), validation, documentation. Honestly about 'this is measurement, not advertising and not sales', this is key: tracking is about correct data for optimization and analytics. By itself the pixel/CAPI does not bring sales and does not launch advertising; it helps ad algorithms learn and count the result. 'We will install the pixel — sales will grow' = a lie. Honestly about privacy and consent, this is critical: we set up user data collection accounting for the law (152-FZ/GDPR), consent (cookie banner/policy), without hidden surveillance and without transmitting sensitive data that cannot be transmitted. We will honestly say what is legally required (cookie consent, privacy policy). Honestly about platform availability: some pixels/APIs are tied to platforms with restrictions (e.g. Meta is unavailable for advertising in the RF — the Meta pixel makes sense only when working on available markets); we check availability honestly. Honestly about 'depends on correctness': incorrectly set up events/duplicates distort data and optimization worse than their absence; that is why we validate. Honestly about 'does not replace end-to-end analytics': the pixel/CAPI measures events on the site, but full attribution/end-to-end analytics is a separate task. Honestly about the effect: it installs and validates the pixel + Conversion API with correct events and privacy consideration, giving data for optimization/analytics, but it is not advertising and not a guarantee of sales; sales are not created by tracking; we account for consent and platform availability. Honestly about access: access to the site/GTM/server, ad accounts, a legal basis (cookie consent/policy) are needed. An important boundary: this is tracking setup; ad management — channels 437-456; audiences — 459; end-to-end analytics/dashboards — adjacent (analytics group). The base price starts from 20,000 ₽ for setup (depends on the number of events/platforms).

Problems we solve

  • There is no correct conversion tracking — advertising is optimized blindly.
  • A misconception that installing the pixel by itself increases sales.
  • Data collection without accounting for consent/the law (152-FZ/GDPR) — a risk of a fine/block.
  • Incorrectly set up events/duplicates distort data worse than their absence.

FAQ

  • Will you install the pixel — and sales will grow?

    No, honestly: tracking is about correct measurement for optimization and analytics. By itself the pixel/CAPI does not bring sales and does not launch advertising; it helps algorithms learn and count the result. 'We will install the pixel — sales will grow' is a deception. We will honestly set up measurement and say that sales are created by advertising, the offer and the product, not tracking.

  • Is data collection legal? Is a cookie banner needed?

    We set it up accounting for the law, honestly: collecting user data requires consent and compliance (152-FZ/GDPR, cookie consent, privacy policy). We do not do hidden surveillance and do not transmit data that cannot be transmitted. We will honestly say what is legally needed — usually a cookie banner and a policy; without them there is a risk of a fine/block.

  • Will the Meta pixel suit me?

    It depends on the market, honestly: Meta advertising is unavailable in the RF, so the Meta pixel makes sense only when working on available markets. We will honestly check which pixels/APIs are relevant for your geo and platforms (Yandex/VK/Meta, etc.) and will not install what will not work for you.
