Whilst Facebook allows you to clearly see how many transactions have been generated through your paid ads on Facebook Ads Manager, it’s not always clear how to track transactions made through your organic Instagram or Facebook page content.

created the attribution model.
Facebook will
pull through data from all other channels to if you are just wanting to report on Instagram and Facebook organic conversions then you are looking for the under
‘Facebook (Organic)’ and ‘Instagram (Organic)’:
If you’re wanting to clearly see if your organic content is generating conversions, then this is a great way to analyse organic data.
