Facebook Business Manager - Creating Excellence Marketing Agency

Disclaimer: Please note that Facebook is continually updating their interface and layouts. This is provided as a general guideline for set-up of a Business Manager account. While we do our best to update these on a regular basis, your visuals may not be identical to what is shown below. If you have concerns, please contact Creating Excellence.

Note: If you have lost access to your business manager facebook account or have someone that was the sole admin of your page and they have left your organization, contact us as we have experience in Admin Dispute claims with Meta.

Why use Business Manager?

•When you have a central hub like BM, your biz maintains control of your Facebook assets and securely manages other people’s access to the right people and credit lines.

•Facebook created the tool as a way to help advertisers integrate their marketing efforts across their biz and with partners. The platform can be used to track ads, manage assets (such as pages) and collaborate with agencies or partners to manage their business.

•Business Manager is separate from your personal Facebook account. Facebook will ensure that you have a personal Facebook account to confirm your identity, but your email address associated with your Business Manager can/should be the email you use for work purposes as emails and notifications will be delivered there.

SIMPLY PUT: Better, tighter control of all assets and people
