How do I set up a Facebook Business Manager?
Here are 5 expert tips to get you started with Facebook Business Manager.
Tip 1: Create a Facebook Business Manager account
- Go to business.facebook.com and click Create Account.
- Log in using your username and password for your personal Facebook account (don’t worry, other team members can’t access or view your personal Facebook profile from this page).
- Enter the name of your hair salon, spa or beauty clinic, your name, and the business email address you want to use for your new Business Manager account.
- Add details of your business including address, phone number and website.
Tip 2: Add your Facebook business page
Next, you’ll need to ensure you have an existing Facebook business page for your salon or create a new one. Then you’ll need to add it to your Facebook Business Manager. Make sure you are an admin in your Business Manager account. If you are creating a new Facebook business page, check out handy tips about the Facebook basics.

- Click Add Page from the Facebook Business Manager dashboard. Then click Add Page again in the pop-up window.
2. Enter the name of your Facebook business page or URL and it will pop up on the screen. Then click Add Page. You should then see your Page on the next screen.
Tip 3: Add people to your Facebook business page
Facebook Business Manager allows you to add other users to help you manage your Facebook business page and advertising campaigns. This can be your staff, a business partner, or a marketing freelancer.
- To get started, go to Business Settings. Click People, then Add. Enter the work email address of the person you wish to add.
- Assign the level of access you want them to have: choose either Employee access or Admin access.
- Select Pages from the left-hand menu. Then, choose your salon’s or clinic’s page. Use toggle switches to customise their access. Click Invite.
- Next, your team member will receive an email from Facebook with a link to accept your invitation and instructions on how to get started.
When an employee leaves your salon, spa or clinic, you can revoke their permissions. Here’s how it works:
- Click Business Settings in the top left corner of your Business Manager dashboard.
- Click People on your left.
- Now choose the name of the user you’d like to revoke permission and click Remove.
Tip 4: Connect your Instagram account
It’s a good idea to connect the Instagram account of your salon, spa or clinic to your new Facebook Business Manager. It will allow you to respond to all comments, get insights and track ads on both platforms conveniently in one spot. Here’s how to do it:
- When you are in Business Manager, click Business Setting at the top left.
- Choose Instagram Account and then click Add.
- Enter your Instagram login details in the pop-up window and click Log In.
Now you will be able to see information and activity from both of your accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
Tip 5: Keep your account secure
To keep your Facebook Business Manager account safe and secure, set up two-factor authentication. Follow these steps:
- Go to your Business Manager and click Business Settings.
- Select Security Center from the left menu. Go to Business Info and click Edit.
- Below two-factor authentication, choose Required for everyone or Required for Admins only. Click Save.
