Business Challenges
Starting a marketing campaign, every marketing specialist or e-commerce business owner wants to track their results. Meanwhile, tracking ad views, product page visits, and other parameters showing users’ activity, is related to some access to private details of every customer visiting the website.
App Tracking Transparency framework allows users to select if their activity on websites will be tracked; therefore, some part of marketing data remains out of statistics. Facebook pixel cannot gather necessary information on user’s behaviour in Meta marketing campaigns, demonstrating incomplete data and preventing marketing specialists and business owners from proper targeting.
So, an app solving this problem was necessary.
Solution
A solution is centered around Facebook pixel replacement and utilizing first-party endpoint for tracking. The application intergrates with Shopify gathering statistics on events, and with Facebook ad campaigns to track user’s activity, allowing to compare and monitor campaign results and search for optimization opportunities.
Design
As the project itself originated from the own idea of the company, all design and development work was performed internally. Design of MaximizeX interface is laconic and visually consists of many dashboards and lists, displaying monitoring data. The style of the app is low-key and minimalistic, allowing to focus on valuable information and analyze events.
Technologies
Frontend development was performed using Vite ReactJS code for a seamless user experience with the app needing fast updates and tracking. NextJS code was used in backend development, with support of MongoDB as a database. The landing page was created based on WordPress (PHP).
Functions
This app allows users to perform the following:
- Connect Facebook and Shopify accounts for further activity monitoring. The app provides especially designed code snippets for these purposes;
- Connect Shopfy plugins;
- Set up event tracking and adapt the statistics display to user’s needs;
- Add brands for further tracking;
- Create multiple business accounts;
- Review users’ activity through various dashboards;
- The app allows filtering by different parameters to define detailed characteristics of customer activity and their reaction to ad campaings;
- It also displays detailed financial and tax statistics where required;
- Connect analytics collection systems;
- Manage billing and payments;
A Chrome extension for MaximizeX is also available to assist event tracking on a website.
Result
The application assists marketing specialists, Shopify online shops and brand owners with relevant marketing statistics bridging the gap created by privacy-related limitations on iOS-based devices.
