The Facebook Business Manager has been created with the goal of making your Facebook ads account and Facebook pages more secure. For instance, some companies often need to share their Facebook pages and Facebook ad accounts with employees, third-parties or even contractors.
Sharing this information with such people is always risky and there needs to be a certain amount of control in order to stay safe. What if an employee decides to spend $10,000 in a day? How would you react? Probably not well.
Prior to having the Facebook business manager, most Facebook ad accounts had low budgets. People even had the option of linking their personal Facebook accounts with their Facebook pages and Facebook ad accounts.
In reality, even for small companies, this created a problem. For instance, if the Facebook ad manager left the company then the company in question was forced to create a new ad account from scratch. All the data & optimization of the old Facebook ad account is gone.
What you should know about updating to the Facebook Business Manager?
Here are the situations in which we highly recommend you switch your company to the Facebook Business Manager (although all companies should):
- Facebook pages where there are multiple locations of the same company such as a franchise
- Facebook pages where a contractor or an advertising agency is managing your Facebook ads and Facebook page
- Facebook pages with more than one person managing the Facebook page or ad account
- Facebook pages with multiple ads account for different purposes requiring different credit cards
