Meta Business Suite Setup - The Complete Guide For 2023 (Formerly Facebook Business Manager)

[@cristinatudor6045]

Hi Andrew, I am watching your Meta Business Suite Guide and I want to say Than You! I am the founder of a new/small non-profit organization and needed to setup the FB Meta Business Manager. I searched for over one hour trying to find a good tutorial, and got disappointed to find many guides that either are to old for how FB looks today, or hard to understand/follow. Finally I found your posting and could follow your step by step guide with successful outcome on my end. Your guide is very clear, with good examples, the right audio speed for a new person to assimilate the information, and enough time on the visual so we can follow along. Thank you Andrew ! You have a new follower in me, as I am positive I will need to comeback to your site and learn some more. Sincerely, Cristina :)

Thank you for such lovely and detailed how-to video... I can't believe you covered all that in just 8-9 mins.

Glad it was helpful!

[@yorkshirelass8786]

Very helpful, thank you. I've been tasked with improving my employers social media marketing and setting this up is first on my list.

[@nestorinchina]

Thank you! It helped me to finally understand this otherwise complicated thing for me. now I get it, it is just a hub to manage and organize all your Facebook stuff, including ads, etc.

[@Dwijii_]

Brilliant stuff, I do work as a CSM for an Ad agency and most of my issues are clients navigating the Meta Business manager accounts and setups.

Hey Andrew, thanks so much for this - very helpful. I have an issue I need help with plllease! Does the billing page show Instagram & Facebook bills together or are they separated? If so, how can you see the billing separated / itemised so you know what you spent on either FB or Insta platform? I am lost as i cannot understand how billing works! The billing section looks diferent to my bank account charges. I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial / youtube / detailed info on this very crucial information!!! Please help me understand this part of Meta Business!!! I would love a quick written note but perhaps a video on explaining this in detail would be VERY helpful! It is so confusing!!!

thanks for the video that was really good explanation

[@natsferguson2566]

Thank you. Very helpful. Well done and easy to follow.

[@michaelx3553]

Please if anyone can answer me, I will be so grateful. Thanks! Anytime that I want to create a meta business account, they keep telling me that ad access is restricted. I read multiple articles but everyone including meta kept telling me to verify my Identity. If i do this, I won't be allowed access at all as I am 16 year old trying to learn Facebook advertising. Also anytime I try to create a facebook page I am greeted with the you have created too many facebook pages error, and I have not created any facebook page at all.. ever. So my four questions are: 1. If I verify my identity, will I be able to access meta business as a 16 year old? 2. do I have to verify my Identity or is it something else? 3. If the above questions are not in my favor, how else can I learn and practice facebook advertising. 4. Why is my facebook saying I have too many pages when I have never created one, and how do I solve this? Thanks to you all :)

[@DragonflyHenna]

Hello! Great video! Thanks for such an excellent walkthrough. Search as I might, I was unable to find the "business asset" option... just a "business app" menu option, that did not lead me to the same places you had traveled to. LOL! I'm wondering though, do you have any content that you can link me to that might help me understand how to add / link a calendar to the new Meta Business Suite Appointment feature? I have Services added, and I have gone through all the setting options under Appointments... but can only find a general M-S availability setting... nothing I can find that would allow me to block off specific times / dates where I might already be booked... Any hints? Kia Ora from Canada! :)

[@brayden7993]

Have you found the solution to this? I too could not find the business asset option because of the new UI by Meta

Great for you. I have tried over and over to delete my meta business, which I think has not loaded properly. I do not have the same settings that everyone else has. I just wanted to keep my regular facebook and fix or delete my meta business but I cannot find anyone who can sort this out. I am reasonably new to facebook but just no help.

[@DanaDudley-p5e]

This video was so helpful. I have a question: In my facebook account I have more than one profile. When I added my facebook page to meta business suite, it chose a profile. But this isn't the profile I use. I have searched all over to find out how to change the profile in MBS. Do you know how?

[@margarethlov]

hi, first of all thanks for the explanation.. just wondering why my partner can't access the 'planning ' on meta business suite? like i have no idea about that.. thankyou for your response 🙏🏻

Thank you! This was very helpful. What program do you use to record your screen and yourself at the same time?

[@stillcloud4964]

Hi Andrew, what happens if I get an alert that the page already belongs to another business? Does that mean I should cancel this suite, because I already have one? I'm not an agency and there is no separate owner to the business.

[@amaliadempsey]

Hey Andrew, thanks for your content. I'm confused- are we supposed to be using Business Suite or Business Manager? What's the difference? Will Suite eventually fully replace Manager??

[@AndrewHubbard1]

Hi Amalia! Basically Business Suite is replacing Business Manager, so if and when you get Business Suite I would use that. You can still force it to switch back to Business Manager but eventually Business Suite will be the only option

[@ЭмирЭдельвейс]

When I upload a cover on a video and plan to upload it via meta suite, that cover disappears from the video. It wasn't just once. And when I fill it immediately through instagram, then everything is in order. Please tell me what should I do?

I somehow ended up w 2 accounts under my name and the one I want to use to manage it, isn't tied to my FB/Instan to form a shop, it's in the other one. I'm so frustrated with this. Can I just delete it all and start over or will that delete my fb and insta pages that I have going on? I can't seem to find a chat to actually talk to someone.

Is the new business suite WAY more limited in its data or am I missing something? I can't see impressions, let alone engagement, only reach, and I can't event see page likes by date, only the number of page likes on the day I'm looking at the dashboard. I also can only export page reach numbers? Please tell me I'm missing something, because this is terrible.

excellent tutorial - I'm having some issues with tagging accounts and pages of artists in posts that we are scheduling for a music festival. Could you point me to one of your tutorials that would explain this process? They look like they appear when I do "tag people" and then hit save, and I look at the preview and they are in - but when they go live - they are often missing - or in some cases a completely different person's account or page is tagged (that was super odd! - just a random person none of us know was tagged instead of an artist we are working with). Much appreciation in advance for any help.

Hi Andrew, it is a great tutorial you made about the business suite 😊. I have been using it for a while and I am constantly overlooking or missing some of the Facebook and IG comments especially when they are not as a direct response to a post but in the thread. I always open a “Newest” instead of “Most relevant” and I got a few newest. But whenever I scroll down, I can see many more responses which didn’t appear as the newest ones. Do I miss something?
