How to Set up Facebook and Instagram Ads Manager
If you don't have one set up already, the first thing you want to do is create an account with Facebook Ads Manager.

Facebook's Ad Manager is a dashboard that provides users with an overview of all their Facebook and Instagram campaigns.

The dashboard is organized by columns, which makes it easy to filter through your ads so you can create a custom view of your results. Key numbers like reach, frequency, and cost are readily available, making reporting on performance very manageable.

You can't run ads through personal profiles, so, to use the Ads Manager to create Facebook campaigns, you'll need a Facebook Business Page (learn how to set one up here).

To get the Facebook Ads Manager set up, follow these steps:

* Go to https://www.facebook.com/business/tools/ads-manager.
* Click the button that says, "Go to Ads Manager."
* Confirm your information on the ad account setup page.
* Set up your payment method.
* Save changes.

Once it's all set up, the Ads Manager becomes the control center for your Facebook ads.
