Why Set Up a Facebook Business Manager?

The Facebook Business Manager platform is essential for managing multiple pages and ad accounts under one roof. It provides the tools needed to safely assign roles to your employees or contractors, ensuring that your business’s social media efforts are coordinated and secure. By setting up a Business Manager, you’re creating a centralized hub for your Facebook marketing activities.

Step 1: Creating Your Business Manager Account

  • Navigate to Facebook Business Manager: Start by visiting business.facebook.com.
  • Account Creation: Click on “Create an Account” at the bottom of the page. If you’re not already logged into Facebook, you’ll need to do so using your personal account.
  • Enter Business Details: Provide your business name, your name, and business email. Ensure that the business name is appropriately chosen as it will be visible to your team.
  • Email Verification: After submitting your information, check your email for a confirmation link. Click it to verify your account.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Ad Account

  • Accessing Ad Accounts: On your Business Manager homepage, find and click on “Ad accounts” under the “Accounts” section.
  • Creating a New Ad Account: Click the “Add” dropdown, then select “Create a New Ad Account”.
  • Ad Account Details: Fill in your new Ad Account’s details, paying close attention to the selected currency as it cannot be changed later.
  • Assign Roles: Initially, add yourself. You can add more team members as needed later on.

Step 3: Configuring Payment Methods

  • Add Payment Information: Click on “Add Payment Info” in your Ad Account settings.
  • Setting Preferences: Choose your location, currency, and fill in your tax details if necessary.
  • Select your payment method and proceed.
  • Finalizing Setup: Input your business address details to complete the setup.

Checking Your Facebook Payment Settings
To ensure everything is configured correctly:
  • Navigate to Payment Settings: Go to your Meta Ad Account Settings and select “Payment settings”.
  • Verify Payment Methods: Confirm that your payment details are correctly entered and displayed.
With your Facebook Business Manager and Ad Account now set up, you’re ready to start creating and managing your Facebook advertising campaigns.
