Brief summary of the video

This video explains how to create and set up a Meta (formerly Facebook) Business Manager account. Once done, it talks about creating an Ad account within the newly created Business Manager and add a payment method to the ad account.

1. What is Meta Business Manager?

   • It’s a tool for managing your business’s Facebook and Instagram pages, ad accounts, and other assets (like pixels) from one place. You need a personal Facebook account to create a business manager.

2. Steps to Set Up:

   • Step 1: Visit business.facebook.com to create an account.

   • Step 2: Use your business name and email when setting up.

   • Step 3: Add your assets like your Facebook Page, Instagram account, and ad accounts. You can also invite team members to help manage.

3. Verifying Your Business:

   • To reduce the chance of restrictions or bans, it’s recommended to verify your business. This is different from verifying your Facebook or Instagram page; it verifies that your business is real.

   • To verify, go to Business Settings > Business Info, enter your business details (like legal name and address), and match them with your official documents.

   • Upload these legal documents to complete the verification process. This makes it easier to recover your account if something goes wrong in the future.

4. Verifying via Facebook Developer Tools:

   • If the verification button doesn’t show up immediately, use a workaround by creating a dummy app in Facebook’s developer portal. This will prompt Facebook to ask you to verify your business.

   • Once verified, your business manager account will be marked as legitimate.

5. Conclusion:

   • By verifying your business, you reduce the risk of account issues and can manage your assets more securely. The video also offers a free community for more marketing tips and strategies.

In short: This summary helps you in setting up and securing a Meta Business Manager account, helping you avoid future issues when managing ads or social media assets.
