How to Set Up Your Business Account on Facebook for Lead Generation

Setting up your business account on Facebook is a crucial step towards generating leads effectively. Below is a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth setup process. This guide is especially useful if you don't already have a business Facebook page and a business ad account.

Go to business.facebook.com. If you're not logged in, the site will prompt you to log in using your personal Facebook credentials.

Initiate Page Creation Once logged in, locate the left toolbar, click the down arrow, and select "Create".

Name your business account after your business. Ensure the first and last name fields match those on your identification (such as a driver's license or passport). This is crucial as Facebook may request identification verification. Set Your Business Email

Fill in the account name as your business name. Select the correct time zone and currency for your country to ensure accurate billing. Specify Account Purpose Choose "My business" to indicate the ad account is for your business. Click "Create".

Assign Yourself to the Account Find and select your name. Assign yourself the role to "Manage Ad Account" granting full control over the business Facebook page and ad account. Confirm by clicking "Assign".

Step 3: Adding Payment Information
