Providing Facebook Ad Access to Your Agency Partner

Facebook Ad Access for your Agency Partner

So, you started doing Facebook Ads.

Congratulations!

Now you need to provide Facebook Ad access to your Agency Partner so they can help with managing and optimize your Ads. You’ll want to do this so you can get the most out of your Ad spend. We’ll use Business Manager so your agency can make changes and work on your account for you without having to give them your facebook login.

To provide Facebook Ad Access you need to add the Partner Business ID into your account and provide access to the various parts of the account.
