This article is for Facebook media buyers that have a need to manually add the WickedID tag to their Facebook ads.
Wicked Reports tracks Facebook ad clicks and ties that activity to leads and sales in your CRM. The crucial first step of this process is to have Wicked ID on your Facebook Ads. Without the WickedID, or a clean UTM tagging structure, it will be challenging to have success.
Fortunately, Wicked Reports has auto-tagging of Facebook ads with WickedID. This allows Wicked to automatically set the correct campaign, adset, and ad details on all clicks so you can get a very detailed view of Facebook ROI over time.
