How to Add Your Consultant to Your Facebook Ad Account

You finally have help - a digital marketing consultant. The next step is setting them up to do their best work.  But you also need to keep some control. That means you don't want to share your login and password. Instead, add your digital marketing consultant to your Facebook Ad Manager account.  It's easy. Here are the steps. [The directions below assume you have a Facebook page for your business or service and that your consultant has a Facebook account. Both things are required.]

To Add a Consultant to your Personal Ad Manager Ad Account:

1. Log into Facebook and send your consultant a friend request.

2. Once your consultant has accepted your friend request, navigate to your Ad Manager Settings and click on Add People. Enter their name and click confirm.

To Add a Consultant to your Business Suite/Business Manager Ad Manager Ad Account:

1. Log into Facebook and send your consultant a friend request.

2. Once your consultant has accepted your friend request, navigate to https://business.facebook.com/settings/ad-accounts and click on Add People to add your consultant.

3. You will need to give them full control in order for them to manage your ads properly.

That's it. After the engagement is done, you can remove them from your account by going back to the ad account settings page and deleting them.

This will give your consultant the ability to edit and set up ad campaigns and the billing will be under your account.  This does not give them the ability to edit your Page.
