About Facebook Business Manager

Your marketing partner or team may ask you to create a Business Manager account for your Facebook Business Page.  Here is what you need to know.

Facebook began as a social site, where people would have profiles, and other people could find them.  Businesses started creating profiles, which was confusing, so Facebook created a special “Business Profile Page”.  When they realized that they could start making money by allowing businesses to pay to show ads to users, Facebook created an ads management tool.  Users who owned the business page could invite “friends” to manage the page.

The problem was that people who worked together didn’t necessarily want to be friends on Facebook.  For this reason, Facebook created a “Business Manager” container account that would allow multiple people to manage a business without them needing to be “friends”.

Then along came Business Suite.  If you get confused, you are not alone.  Business Suite can do everything that Business Manager can, plus a few more things such as creating and scheduling posts, and also there is a phone app.
