A business page is a page that represents your company or brand on Facebook. With it, you can run advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. To create a business page, go to your personal Facebook page and click on the dot icon in the top right menu. Then select "Page".

Name the business page, select a category, and create a description. Then click "Create Page" - "Save". Optionally, add a cover image, an action button, and set a unique URL. If you need a business page on Facebook solely to run ads on Instagram, secure your profile and add it to LiveDune tracking, you can skip this.

How to link Instagram to Facebook: business account

If you want to link a client or company account, first check if you are the administrator of the Facebook business page to which you want to link your Instagram account, otherwise the link will not work. To do this, click on the icon with dots in the upper left menu - “Pages” and check if there is a page in the list in which you want to link your Instagram account. If the required page does not exist, request access from the owner (client/manager).

On a Facebook business page that you have access to (or that you created yourself), in the left side menu, go to "Settings" - "Instagram". Click "Connect Instagram" and enter the username and password from your Instagram account.

If you had a personal account type, follow the prompts and switch to a professional account type (we recommend "Business" so as not to limit yourself in processing Direct messages). Next, confirm the link by re-entering the password from your Instagram account and refresh the page. Binding completed.

You can change or create a new Facebook page on Instagram. To do this, log into your account, click Edit . Next select Page in section Public company information and select the page you want to connect to or create a new one. If the Page you want isn't in the section, check to see if you've been assigned as an administrator for the Page.
