Managing your Facebook Page, Instagram, and running ads can be a game-changer for your business. To make this process smooth, you can securely grant access to your Facebook Page, Ad Account, and Instagram using Meta Business Suite. This allows your marketing agency (like us at KGY Digital) to manage your social media presence without needing your login details.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:
1. Set Up Meta Business Suite (If You Haven’t Already)
- Visit business.facebook.com.
- Log in with your Facebook credentials.
- Follow the prompts to set up Meta Business Suite for your business.
- If you’ve already set this up, you can skip this step.
2. Add Your Facebook Page to Meta Business Suite
- In Meta Business Suite, go to “Business Settings”.
- On the left-hand menu, click “Accounts” > “Pages”.
- Click the “Add” button.
- Choose “Add a Page” if you own the page.
- Select “Request Access” if the page is managed by someone else.
- Follow the prompts to confirm your page is added.
3. Add Your Ad Account for Advertising
- In Business Settings, navigate to “Accounts” > “Ad Accounts”.
- Click “Add” and choose one of the following:
- “Add an Ad Account”: If you already have an existing ad account.
- “Create a New Ad Account”: If you don’t have one yet.
- Complete the setup as prompted.
4. Connect Your Instagram Account to Meta Business Suite
To enable access for Instagram posting and ads:
- Go to “Business Settings” in Meta Business Suite.
- On the left-hand menu, click “Accounts” > “Instagram Accounts”.
- Click the “Add” button.
- Log in with your Instagram username and password.
- Follow the prompts to connect your Instagram account.
- Make sure your Instagram account is a Professional Account (Business or Creator). If not, you can switch in the Instagram app under Settings > Account > Switch to Professional Account.
5. Grant Your Agency Access to Your Facebook Page, Ad Account, and Instagram
Grant Access to Your Page (For Organic Posting):
- In Business Settings, click on “People”.
- Click the “Add People” button.

Grant Access to Your Ad Account (For Advertising):

- Click “Assign Partners”.
- Select the option to add via Business ID.
- Contact us directly, and we will securely share our Business Manager ID with you.
- Assign the role of Ad Account Advertiser (for managing ads) or Ad Account Admin (to manage billing and settings).
Grant Access to Instagram:
Once your Instagram account is connected to Meta Business Suite:
- Go to “Instagram Accounts” in Business Settings.
- Click on the connected Instagram account.
- Click “Assign Partners”.
- Add your agency’s Business Manager ID (provided privately. Contact us for our KGY Digital Business Manager ID).
