How to manage multiple Facebook accounts without going crazy
Marketing companies, social media managers, and agencies are often in charge of many Facebook accounts. Even for only one company, there is a high chance that they have multiple Facebook Pages and Groups for different stores, sub-brands, or events.
Doing every step manually creates an extra operational workload for experts. And we hear and understand your concerns! As experts, you should primarily focus on strategic tasks rather than operational jobs. After all, social media management is a challenging job.
That’s why we have decided to create a guide for you to manage multiple Facebook accounts more efficiently and professionally.
Can you manage multiple Facebook accounts?
Before August 2018, you could use third-party tools to manage multiple Facebook accounts (personal profiles) on a single dashboard and schedule your posts simultaneously.
However, on August 1st, 2018, Facebook made it impossible for third-party tools to publish directly to profiles on Facebook.
But, if you want to manage multiple Facebook accounts for pages and groups, it is possible with the ultimate social media management tool, Circleboom Publish!
How to post to multiple Facebook Pages?
Anyone with a Facebook account may now manage as many pages as they want since 2019. As a result, if you’re a digital marketer or a social media expert in charge of numerous companies, things may quickly spiral out of control.
Fortunately, there are two excellent solutions to manage multiple Facebook pages.
#1 Circleboom Publish — Circleboom Publish allows you to manage multiple accounts for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google My Business through a single dashboard.

Now, let’s move on to the second method to manage multiple Facebook Pages.
How to manage multiple Facebook Pages with Facebook Business Manager?
Facebook Business Manager gives you the ability to manage multiple Facebook pages and control all your Facebook marketing projects.
Facebook Business Manager is an excellent choice if you need a single platform to manage your ads and access in-depth insights and analytics.
But if your focus is not on Facebook ads and analytics and you search for a tool to post to multiple Facebook pages, schedule your content, and keep up with your calendar, Circleboom Publish will definitely do the trick for you.
Step #1: Go to business.Facebook.com.
If you don’t have an account, click on “Create Account” to sign up for a new one.
Step #2: Create your Facebook Business Manager account by providing the necessary information.
You will be asked to give your name, business name, and business email.
Step #3: Go to the settings page to add your Facebook Pages.
Then, choose “Business assets” on the left-hand menu and click on “Pages” and “Add Pages,” respectively.
Step #4: If you use the same email to sign up for Facebook Business Manager as your Facebook Pages, you can simply add them. If not, you need to request access from the pages’ admins.
Or, you can also create a new Facebook Page on this dashboard.
Step #5: To finish the process, click ‘Next,’ and you’ll be sent to the Add Facebook page screen. In the provided space, type the name or URL of your Facebook page, then click Add Page.
Facebook will automatically accept the request for admins, and you will see the pages on your dashboard.
Step #6: Choose the primary page to request access; this page will validate your identity before granting you access. After you’ve chosen the page, click “next.”
A new window will appear, prompting you to input the name or URL of the page you wish to access.
Step #7: You can toggle the degrees of access you desire, such as creating ads, publishing material, managing jobs, and so on. Click ‘Request Access’ once you’ve decided on the access you want.
After your request is approved, you will see the page on your dashboard.
If your company has multiple locations, you can add them to the dashboard and post to multiple Facebook Pages at once. To do so, open the hamburger menu (three lines icon) at the top left corner of the page and select “Store Locations.”
- To set up your parent store page, go to the “Promote Your Stores” section and click “Get Started.” The parent store is your main store page; once you post content on this page, it will also appear on the other store location pages. If you don’t want your posts on the parent location appearing on other pages, you can change this on the settings page. This way, you can post to multiple Facebook Pages at once.
- If you want to add more stores, you should click “+ Add Store” on the dashboard. You will be presented with three options;
- Add Manually: You can fill out your store details one by one.
- Add Multiple Stores: You can submit a spreadsheet with your store’s details.
- Connect An Existing Page: If the businesses already have a page, you can easily connect them to the dashboard.
