Business Suite for Facebook and Instagram

Meta Business Suite is a free tool that Facebook page admins can use to manage their pages and linked Instagram accounts. Note that you can't manage Facebook groups with it.

💡 A more detailed video tutorial is coming! We hope that the screenshots will help you navigate Business Suite for the time being.

There is a phone version of Business Suite but we're only covering the desktop version here.

Accessing Business Suite

You can either follow this link: https://business.facebook.com or got to your Facebook Page and

  1. Make sure you're logged in as your page
  2. Click on Meta Business Suite on the left-hand side column

Dashboard

The dashboard gives you an overview of your account.

From there you can:

  1. Switch between different accounts (if you're the admin of multiple Facebook pages)
  2. See where your attention is needed when there is a red dot (meaning you have new notifications such as messages, comments etc.)
  3. Check if your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook page

On the screenshot below you can see that there isn't an Instagram account linked (the logo remains grey). It can be because it hasn't been connected yet, a problem with the connection, or just because you don't have an Instagram account (which is the case here).

Notifications

To access the notifications, hover your pointer over the left-hand side column until it appears more detailed, then click "notifications".

That will give you an overview of the most recent interactions people had with your page.

From time to time, you will see a blue button that says "Send 20 invitations". If you click it, it will send a notification to 20 people who recently interacted with your page to invite them to follow it. This way you might gain more followers, yay!
