Bridge the Gap: Connecting Your Business Instagram to Facebook Business Manager

In today's digital age, a unified online presence is crucial for businesses. By connecting your Instagram account to your Facebook Business Manager, you unlock a treasure trove of benefits:

• Streamlined Ad Creation: Manage and run targeted ads across both platforms from a single hub.
• Enhanced Insights: Gain valuable audience analytics to understand how your content performs on both Instagram and Facebook.
• Cross-Promotion Opportunities: Effortlessly promote your Facebook Page on Instagram and vice versa, driving traffic and engagement.

So, how do you establish this powerful connection? Here's a straightforward guide to get you started:

‍

Prerequisites:

• A Business or Creator Instagram Account: Personal accounts cannot be linked to Facebook Business Manager. If you haven't already, switch your account to a business or creator profile in the Instagram app settings.
• A Meta Business Account (formerly Facebook Business Manager Account): This serves as your central hub for managing all your connected business assets on Facebook and Instagram. If you don't have one, head over to https://business.facebook.com/ to create a new account.

‍

Step 1: Accessing Settings in Instagram

• Open the Instagram app and navigate to your profile page. Tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner.

‍

Step 2: Selecting "Settings"

• From the menu, scroll down and tap on "Settings."

‍

Step 3:  Finding "Accounts Center"

• Within the Settings menu, locate the option labeled "Accounts Center" (or "Business Tools" on older app versions).

‍

Step 4:  Connecting to Facebook

• Tap on "Accounts Center" and then select "Add Accounts." Choose "Facebook" from the list and log in to your Facebook account associated with your Meta Business Account.

‍

Step 5: Selecting the Facebook Page to Connect

• You'll be prompted to choose which Facebook Page you want to connect your Instagram account to. Select the appropriate Page and grant the necessary permissions.

‍

Step 6:  Confirmation and Completion

• Once you've reviewed and confirmed the connection, you're all set! Your Instagram account is now successfully linked to your Facebook Business Manager.

‍

 Step 7: Verifying Your Accounts

• It is necessary to verify both your Facebook Page and your Instagram account. Verification adds a layer of legitimacy and can boost trust with your audience.
