Transcript page: https://viewrankai.com/tools/youtube-transcript/EkFkWTiN80g --- [0:00] in this video I'm going to show you how to create a meta business account what used to be called a Facebook business manager account and I'd strongly recommend that if you are going to be advertising on Facebook and Instagram that you get a proper business account set up a business account is effectively one Central Hub where you can organize all of your meta assets very easily and efficiently so things like your Facebook page your ad account your pixel your Instagram account you can also give other people access to all those elements and give them the right level of access which as you scale may become very important you might want to get [0:30] other people involved and helping you out with those various things so it's really important to get all this set up it doesn't take very long and once you've got it set up you don't have to worry about it again getting it set up right means that your ad account is less likely to be disabled your account is less likely to be hacked very good reasons to get this all set up here's how you do it okay so we're going to start right at the beginning by creating a meta business account now to do that you want to come through to this page which is business.facebook.com forward [0:54] slash overview I'll include a link to this page in the video description below and you want to go ahead and click click on create an account now in order to do this you will need to be logged in to your personal Facebook profile meta want to make sure that anyone that's going to be doing anything business related on The Meta platforms Facebook Instagram Etc that there's personal profiles associated with that helps with accountability and all that sort of stuff then you simply just want to come in and enter your business name so my business name is lead group for example your name will be automatically entered [1:25] in because you'll be logged in and then you want to enter in your business email now I can't actually go through the next few stages and show you this because my business already has a number of business accounts set up and there's only so many that matter let you set up even when your Facebook ads agency like mine and we've got tens of millions of dollars worth of AD spend across multiple different ad accounts but just enter in your business email click submit and then you just need to go through a very simple process of entering a few bits of information and once you've done that you'll be taken [1:55] through to the meta business Suite which will look something like this so the meta business Suite is a place where we can manage all of our meta related business assets so things like Facebook pages ad accounts Instagram profiles WhatsApp accounts all that sort of stuff is like a central location where you can manage everything now if you've been brought through to the meta business suite and you can't see this sort of stuff on the left hand side business assets people etc etc the way you get here is just come down and click on this settings option and you'll be brought through now because you'll have a new [2:33] um business account you won't see all this stuff down here so for example has listed all our business assets that's what we've got selected and you can see we we're multiple seven figure agencies so when we scroll down you'll see that we have hundreds and hundreds of AD accounts and Instagram accounts and Facebook pages because we have hundreds of clients at any one time I can literally just keep going on this forever which is pretty cool now obviously if I scroll back to the top and you're not going to have all this stuff right and that's absolutely fine you're probably going to have nothing added in here so what you need to do is [3:08] you need to add in your Facebook page your Instagram account and and either add in an ad account if you already have one or create a brand new ad account and that's going to show you how to do right now so to add a Facebook page into this business account we'll first go over to Pages then you want to go ahead and click on ADD assets and then select Facebook page as the top options then within here there are a few different options firstly if you haven't created a Facebook page um yet then you can absolutely go ahead and do what you will need to create one [3:34] in order to be able to run our campaigns properly so you just want to Simply click on create a new Facebook page you enter in a few simple details very straightforward and then that's all done it's already set up in here nice and easy I'm not going to go through that process because as you can see we've already got hundreds of Facebook pages in our business manager we don't need another one you can also claim an existing Facebook page so if I click on this so if you've created a Facebook page previously you need to put it into this business account and the way you do [4:02] that is exactly what I'm showing you now you claim a Facebook page simply just enter your Facebook page name in here or just go on to that page in a new tab grab the URL and pop it in here click next confirm add it in and you're all done okay so if you've already created the Facebook page this is the option that you want to select but if that's when it's your Facebook page if I just cancel out back into ad assets Facebook page and or you can request to share a Facebook page so this is if you don't want to put the Facebook page inside a [4:29] business account you don't want to put it into your own account and claim ownership of it but you want access to someone else's Facebook page in order to be able to do work so if you're offering any sort of Facebook advertising Services anything like that you can see it's best for agencies who need access to clients page this is the option that you go ahead and select if you're just getting started with Facebook advertising obviously not an option that you're going to be using okay so that's us added in the Facebook page very important next thing is an ad account so if I go over to ad account we've got [4:56] tons and tons in here as well mostly our clients ones if we go ahead and click on ADD assets and then we scroll down to this advertising section and go ahead and select add account now again if you've never run ads before and you need to create a brand new ad account that's absolutely fine you can click on this top option go through the options it'll walk you through the process including how to set up billing information adding payment details which you'll need to do in order to start running ads you can claim an exist accounts if you've already run ads before you will have a [5:28] an ad account created and you want to move it into this business account so if I click on claim an ad account what you want to do is just grab your ad account ID and I'll show you where to get that now so I've just jumped over to ads manager and if you're not familiar with this don't worry we're definitely going to get to this later on but if you have been running ads already you probably are familiar with ads manager and your ad account ID is just the number up here alongside the name of your ad account so you just want to copy that head back [5:53] into your meta business Suite add in your ad account ID confirm done and then that ad account is added in to um your business account okay very important and of course if we just quickly go back into that section here click on ADD add account you can also request to share an ad account do the exact same thing as what we talked about the page but that's more for agencies not something that I'm going to focus on right now Okay so we've got Facebook page added in we've got an ad account added in if you've got an Instagram account I'd also strongly recommend you go ahead and add that in as well so you [6:25] want to go ahead and click on ADD assets Instagram account and then you agree to terms you claim an Instagram account so there's not the option from within the meta business Suite to create one and you need to claim an existing one if you want to create a new ad a new Instagram account you'll need to head over to Instagram and do that instead but you click on this go through claim Instagram account it brings up like a new window you're just entering your Instagram login information claim the account and it go it goes ahead and gets added now there are also another of other type of assets [6:53] that you can add in to your meta business account so if I click on ADD assets we obviously got WhatsApp account we haven't discussed but there are other options in in advertising we've got custom conversions pixels all that sort of stuff you can add in catalogs a number of different options I'm not going to go through and cover everything if you're getting started with Facebook Instagram advertising a lot of that stuff is far more in-depth and detailed than you need to worry about at this point I don't want to overwhelm you with information and make it much more difficult one other thing I do want to [7:21] show you how to set up within metabusiness Suite is how to add in other people into your business account to let them do some of this stuff whether it's you know posting on your Facebook page or your Instagram account or setting up ads for you or anything like that you may well have other team members now again we're a 30 plus person company so with all sorts of people in here you're not going to see anyone in here and that's absolutely fine when you're just getting started but what you want to do is go ahead and click on ADD people now you will automatically already be added in so your profile will [7:50] automatically already be added in because you're the one who created this business account and but you very simply want to enter in an email address so we could for example have example at leadguru.co.uk Okay click next and then we can select what role they get within the business do they get employee access so they're not able to sort of add new accounts or remove them um there's certain things they're not able to do you can see that matter gives um information around that if you don't want someone to have full control over everything you want to go with employee as opposed to admin then when you click [8:24] on next you can select Which business assets that this person doesn't does not have access to so if you clicked off on the drop down and you can give them access to your page and not your Instagram account or vice versa you can give them access to your ad account but not other stuff and you can go through and you can select the various options then you just go ahead and review invitation click done and they will then receive an invite that they can accept either via email or they'll receive a notification when they're logged into their Facebook profile and then they could be added into your business [8:53] account and they can start doing the sort of stuff that I'm going to show you how to do in a minute creating ad campaigns and things like that and I've already mentioned it but just quickly worth mentioning again if I just quickly click on billing it'll open up a new tab for us and here you can add in new payment methods okay and it's really important that you do have a payment method set up meta will not let you run a Facebook ad campaign Instagram ad campaign if they don't have payment information you can see on this side account for example we've got a small outstanding balance and it gives you [9:22] some information around that you can grab invoices in here and it's a useful little tool now you should be all set up with your business manager account but that's only the first step when it comes to running Facebook ads that can get Real Results I'd strongly encourage you to check out this
