Linking your accounts makes it easier to run ads; to unify content and upload it to both platforms simultaneously; to open a shop and create a product catalog; and to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/blog\/en\/instagram-giveaways-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">giveaways<\/a>&nbsp;and get your first Facebook followers. And there are plenty more reasons <strong>why it\u2019s a good idea to connect the two accounts<\/strong>. Don\u2019t worry if this all seems a little complicated at first. You\u2019ll soon see that it\u2019s actually very simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pointless or profitable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever tried putting music to your reels before realizing that you can only do so if you integrate your accounts  and change your category from Facebook? Have you ever wanted to advertise on Instagram but were told it\u2019s better to do so from Facebook Business Manager? Maybe you keep posting the same content manually on each social network and have yet to take advantage of Facebook Creator Studio. Or perhaps you\u2019ve spent your valuable time trying to set up your product store on Instagram to no avail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could describe plenty more situations, but one thing you can be sure of is that, whatever the scenario, linking your accounts will help you <strong>design and execute a more effective Facebook and Instagram strategy.<\/strong> In addition to helping you solve technical problems, <strong>linking your accounts will provide you with greater brand recognition <\/strong>and help you reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of linking Facebook and Instagram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, to really make the most of <strong>Instagram for business <\/strong>it\u2019s not enough to just integrate your account with Facebook. Integration is important if you want to really make the most of both platforms, but that alone is no guarantee of success. Also vital when it comes to <strong>making an impact on Instagram and Facebook<\/strong>&nbsp;is posting valued content, being constant, innovating, answering users\u2019 messages in the shortest time possible, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/instagram-giveaway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organizing free giveaways<\/a>, and using the relevant hashtags. However, integrating both social networks can certainly help you achieve better results when it comes to <strong>optimizing time and resources.<\/strong> Let\u2019s have a look at some of the key benefits to <strong>linking Facebook and Instagram<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carry out more strategic advertising campaigns. From Facebook you can <strong>launch advertising campaigns on both social media platforms simultaneously<\/strong>. One of the main advantages of doing this with Facebook\u2019s&nbsp;Business Manager&nbsp;(a free tool that can help you carry out the company\u2019s marketing actions more easily) is that you can finetune every tiny detail when it comes to&nbsp;<strong>audience segmentation <\/strong>and other variables such as budget, targeting, formats, and where you want your ads to appear.&nbsp;<strong>The metrics you obtain in Facebook about campaign performance are far more complete <\/strong>than those provided by Instagram alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook still has a far more powerful database than Instagram, so linking both accounts means that your posts and ads will reach more users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For an <strong>Instagram sales strategy<\/strong> to really be effective you should link both social networks. This is because it is from the Tools panel of the Fan Page&nbsp;that you must <strong>set up your catalog and shop:<\/strong> uploading products, creating cards, and providing the information and documents that Facebook requires in order to approve the store.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save time and energy when publishing. Although <strong>Easypromos<\/strong>&nbsp;doesn\u2019t usually recommend posting exactly the same content to Instagram and Facebook, we understand that you may have a strategy that involves sharing \u201cmirror content\u201d or that, on occasion, you may identify content that deserves to coexist on both social networks. In such cases, it\u2019s in your best interest to link them so that you can <strong>publish or schedule them to be published simultaneously<\/strong>, without having to publish them separately on each platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition to being able to <strong>integrate third-party applications <\/strong>more easily,&nbsp;<strong>connecting Facebook with Instagram<\/strong>&nbsp;enables you to manage Instagram DMs from the inbox of your Facebook page. That\u2019s a real time-saver!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple steps for linking your Facebook to an Instagram business account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start, <strong>make sure your Instagram account is a business one. <\/strong>If it\u2019s not, this is easily rectified by clicking on Edit Profile and selecting \u201cSwitch to Professional account\u201d. You must also be the&nbsp;<strong>business administrator of the Facebook page<\/strong> you wish to connect to. Once you\u2019ve done this, follow these steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to your Instagram profile and tap \u201cEdit Profile\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to \u201cPublic Business Information\u201d and select \u201cPage\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cCreate a new Facebook Page\u201d or \u201cConnect to an Existing Page\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now choose the page you wish to connect to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s it! As you can see, it\u2019s a very simple process, but you\u2019ll soon see how beneficial it is to your <strong>Facebook and Instagram strategy.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<strong>One more thing:&nbsp;<\/strong>if, after you\u2019ve followed these steps, the page you wish to connect still doesn\u2019t appear in the drop-down menu of your profile, then maybe you\u2019re not listed as the admin of that page. Fix this in the page settings and make sure you have permission to add the page to your Instagram business account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We expect you\u2019ve heard about linking Facebook and Instagram accounts, right?
