How to Grant AVB Marketing Facebook Access
For AVB Marketing to run your paid and/or organic social media programs on your behalf, please follow the steps outlined below.
Part 1: Create Business Account
What is a Business Manager?
Meta Business Manager or Meta Business Suite are both tools that help you manage your Facebook Business Page and other Facebook assets. A Meta Business account is required in order to share your assets with AVB Marketing.
If your Facebook Page is already owned by a Meta Business Account, please click here to skip to next steps. Otherwise, please proceed with the instructions below to set up a business account.
Before You Begin
- Make sure you are the page creator/owner. Only the person who created the page can set up the Business Manager initially to be able to grant access to assets such as your page.
- Make sure you know your Facebook username and password.
- If you are also sharing access to an Instagram account, please ensure it is set up properly by following these instructions first.
Step 1
Make sure you are logged into your personal Facebook account in your browser. Then, in a new tab, go to Meta Business Suite.
Step 2
Click “Create Account.”
Step 3
Enter the following:
- A name for your business
- This can be the same as your Facebook page, your LLC name, or something similar.
- Your name, and your work email address.
Then, click Next.
Step 4
Enter all your business details. Then click Submit.
Once this is set up, proceed with the instructions below.
Part 2: Determine Business Account
Business Manager or Suite?
The next steps will change slightly depending on if you have Meta Business Manager or Meta Business Suite.
If you are also sharing access to an Instagram account, please ensure it is set up properly by following these instructions before proceeding.
1. Log In
If not already, please log into your Meta Business Account.
When you are logged in at the domain “business.facebook.com,” what does the logo in the top left corner say?
If it says Meta Business Suite, click here for next steps.
If it says Meta Business Settings, click here for next steps.
Part 3A: Business Suite Steps
Step 1
In the top left corner, under the Business Suite loog, look for a drop-down menu that lists the name of your Business Suite. (This is whatever name you chose for your Business Suite when setting up.)
Reminder: if you do not have Meta Business Suite, skip to the steps for Business Manager.
Step 2
Once you find your business account in the list of options, click the gear icon next to the account name.
From there, you should see the same menu options as Meta’s Business Manager. Please jump to those steps here.
Part 3B: Business Manager Steps
Step 1
In your Meta Business Manager, go to your Business Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the lower left corner.
If you do not see it there, try clicking on the dropdown menu and look for a gear icon next to your business account name.
Step 2
Click on the Partners tab.
Step 3
Click the blue Add button, then the top option: Give a partner access to your assets.
Step 4
Copy and paste AVB’s Partner Business ID: 792762174199638
Click Next.
Step 5
Choose your page as an asset to share. Scroll down and toggle Partial access to the on position.
If you do not see your page under ‘New Pages Experience,’ click on ‘Classic Pages.’
If you do not see your page listed in either the new or classic tabs, you are not the original page creator and do not have access to your business page via the Business Manager. Please ask the page creator to follow these steps instead.
Step 6
Click on Ad accounts and select your ad account (if applicable). Toggle Full control to the on position.
Step 7
Click on Pixels and select your pixel (if applicable). Toggle Full control to the on position.
Step 8
Once all of your available assets have been selected, click Save changes.
AVB Marketing can now see the assets you assigned to them in Business Manager.
Almost done..
Please proceed to Part 4 below to complete sharing your business manager with us.
Part 4: Share Business Manager with AVB
Reminder: If you are also sharing access to an Instagram account, please ensure it is set up properly by following these instructions before proceeding.

Step 1-C: Assign IG Assets
If you have an Instagram account, select that option on the left. Choose your Instagram account, and once again toggle the “Ads” item to the on position.
Finally, click “Invite.”
If your Instagram is not here, it means it has not been properly set up. Please follow these instructions first.
