How to Connect Your Instagram Account to Meta Business Suite (And Save a Ton of Time)

If you’re serious about growing your Instagram presence and saving time while doing it, then Meta Business Suite is your new best friend. It’s the all-in-one tool that lets you create, manage, and monetize your content from one central dashboard.

Whether you’re a solo creator or managing multiple brands, here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Make Sure You Have the Right Instagram Account

Before you dive in, make sure your Instagram account is either a Business or Creator account. If you’re still on a personal profile, go switch it now — it’s quick and essential if you want access to full features.

Managing Instagram Without a Facebook Page? Here’s What to Do:

Yes, you can use Meta Business Suite even if your Instagram isn’t linked to a Facebook Page. Here’s how:

Go to Meta Business Suite
Log in using your Instagram username and password

Trouble Logging In?

If Meta is asking you to connect to a Facebook Page (and you don’t want to), try this:

Option 1: Log out of your Facebook profile, then go back to Meta Business Suite and log in with Instagram only.
Option 2: Use a private or Incognito browser, then log in using your Instagram credentials.

Want to Manage Instagram AND a Facebook Page Together?

Smart move. When you connect both your Instagram account and Facebook Page, you can manage everything in one seamless workflow. Here’s what you can do:

Option 1: Connect Instagram to Your Facebook Page

Once connected, they’ll appear as one unified profile inside Meta Business Suite. You can set this up from:

The Instagram app
Your Facebook Page settings

Option 2: Add Both Accounts to a Business Portfolio

Not ready to connect them directly? You can still add them under the same business portfolio. This way, they stay separate but are still manageable under one roof in Meta Business Suite.

⚠️ Heads up: Adding your Instagram account to a business portfolio doesn’t automatically link it to your Facebook Page.
