Manage Your Facebook Page

Manage Your Facebook Page : Business Manager is a tool developed to help businesses and agencies manage their official pages, ads accounts, product catalogue in one place without being tied to an individual personal account and also share access to the asset with their team or partners.

What is Facebook Business Manager?

Intended for use by organizations and agencies, Facebook Business Manager allows for the oversight of Facebook business assets (Pages, Ads, Applications) without the need to share personal login details. Instead, ad-hoc sign-ins are created for employees within the platform, all overseen by the owner of the Business Manager account.

This provides an excellent solution for companies to manage internal access to their Facebook Pages and Ad Manager accounts. It also provides agencies like TrendFlux the ability to run all client page access through their own Business Manager portal, a significantly more seamless approach than requesting access through personal Facebook accounts.

We highly recommend this approach to Facebook for every one of our business clients. It’s a simple way to separate the personal aspect of Facebook from the business side of the platform, and can be implemented quickly.

Why you need to use Facebook Business Manager

Are you using Facebook for your business?
Do you have a Facebook page setup for your business?
Are multiple people managing your Facebook business page?
Are you managing several Facebook business pages?
Have you ever lost access to your business’ Facebook page because an ex-employee set it up for you?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, you need to set up Facebook Business Manager. It helps you separate business issues from your personal life and allows you to associate other businesses to manage specific areas of your Facebook page. It is more secure than adding personal accounts to your Facebook page and keeps the pages you manage in one central location.

Here are a few reasons why you need Facebook Business Manager

Multiple people can access your business page, ad history, and other features without having personal access to your business’ Facebook page.
You can assign other businesses access to specific areas of your page instead of individuals. This way, if that business loses the employee that was working on your page, the business itself still has access and can assign a different employee. For example, you might grant management access to TrendFlux instead of Fanslite (even though he’s a really nice guy); then TrendFlux can assign tasks or responsibilities to the correct employees.

You can assign your employees with specific access. You may have one employee that publishes posts on your page, another that handles Facebook ads, etc.
Using Facebook Business Manager is less distracting for you and those assigned to work on your page. Since you won’t have to access your personal Facebook page to find your business page, you won’t be distracted by cute cat videos and then forget why you are there in the first place.

Projects can be difficult to keep organized, especially if you have multiple parties involved. Facebook Business Manager gives you the option to create projects and only assign them to the people or businesses working on those projects. Projects help organize your business assets, i.e. Facebook business pages, ad accounts, etc. Instead of assigning people to multiple assets, you’ll be able to give them permission to work on everything that has been organized into a project.

While you may not need all of these features, you can see how powerful they are and how they would help you better organize your business presence on Facebook. Sounds great, right? Let’s get you set up.
