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

  1. Go to business.facebook.com and click Create Account
  2. 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). 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.

  2. Assign the level of access you want them to have: choose either Employee access or Admin access
