How to grant Facebook access to your ad agency

When your business begins advertising on Facebook, it is very common that you may need to give access to your Facebook Business Page and Facebook Ads Manager to a third party, such as your advertising/marketing agency.

At Web Works of Kansas City, we install the Facebook pixel on every client’s website, whether or not they plan to advertise on Facebook right away. The Facebook pixel is a snippet of code that is added to the website and allows businesses to measure, optimize and build custom audiences for Facebook advertising campaigns. The Facebook pixel allows business owners to target people who have visited specific pages on their website, visited their website from specific devices, and much more. Basically, the business will be WAY ahead if/when they decide to begin advertising on Facebook – if they install the Facebook pixel from the beginning.

To setup and install the Facebook pixel, WebWorks of KC needs access to the client’s Facebook Ads Manager and Facebook business page. This article provides easy step-by-step instructions to grant and agency access to your Facebook Ads Manager and Facebook business page.

Grant access for an agency to manage your business’s Facebook page

Your advertising agency will also need access to manage your business’s Facebook page. This process is much more simple than giving access to your Facebook AdAccount. Your advertising agency will simply request access to your business page, using your Facebook page’s URL.

You will get a notification on your personal Facebook account (and an email) to let you know your agency has requested access to manage your business’s Facebook page.

1 – Click the “requested access to your page” notification

Facebook AdAccount and Facebook page access granted

You have now granted access to allow your advertising agency to manage your Facebook ads and Facebook business page. Your agency can now create a Facebook pixel for your website and begin to manage ads for your business. As well, your agency can manage your Facebook business page by posting updates, replying to comments and every other aspect of Facebook social media management.

Do your Facebook account details look different than the steps above?

If your Facebook profile and/or steps are different than the steps outlined above, there is a good chance that you have previously added your Facebook business page to the Facebook Business Manager. If you are a WebWorks of KC client, send us an email and we will walk you through the process to grant us access to your AdAccount.

If you are not a WebWorks of KC client, please contact your ad agency and ask them for direction.
