If you are having trouble tracking and controlling your performance on Facebook, then you should consider using the Facebook Business Manager. This is the place from where you can manage all of your Facebook advertising as well as marketing endeavors. In this article, we will briefly cover how you can use the Facebook Business Manager to get more Facebook likes, followers, etc.
But first, let’s understand why you should use Facebook Business Manager in the first place-
- It will help keep your business activities separated from your activities on Facebook.
- You can easily track your Facebook ads and get detailed reports on the same.

If any of this seems appealing, here’s how you can use the manager-

You will be required to fill out a form with information about your company, your business mail, website, etc. You also get the option to specify if you want to promote your business on facebook or you wish to cater services to other businesses.
2. Add your Business Page
Now, you can also add multiple pages in this next step, and if you like, you can also create a new page here itself. You can also click on ‘Request Access’ if you want to manage your client’s Facebook page. However, if you want some ownership of another page, then you have to go with the ‘Add Page’ command. Similarly, if you are operating your page, then you shall use the add page option.
3. Add Facebook ad Account
Here’s the important thing- to use the Facebook business manager, you need to have a Facebook ad account. It can be a separate account, or you can transform an old account into an ad account. You can create a Facebook ad Account from the manager itself. Just go to the dashboard, click on ‘Add ad account’ and then ‘Create account’. You can only have one ad account till the time your ad expenditure reaches a certain amount as tracked by Facebook.
4. Add your Team
