Account creation

Use this section if you are missing any component to continue with Meta Ads.

Create a Business Manager (Meta Business)

If no Business Manager appears when configuring Meta, it is usually because one does not exist yet.

1. Go to business.facebook.com

2. Click on "Create account"

3. Complete your company details

4. Verify your email (if Meta asks)

5. Wait 2-5 minutes

6. Return to SaleAds.ai

7. Disconnect and reconnect Meta so that it appears in the list

Note: If a Business Manager already exists but you don't see it, reconnect Meta and in permissions select ALL the Business Managers.

Create and connect your Facebook account

Here you can create your business page on Facebook.

Create and connect your Instagram account

You need an Instagram account business or creator. Then you must link it to your Facebook Page for it to appear in the configuration.

Below you have a guide to do it:

After Connecting

Once connected, your status will change to "Connected - Configuration pending". This means you need to complete the configuration by selecting:

1. Business Manager - Required

3. Optional assets - Page, Pixel, WhatsApp, Instagram

Next step: Select Business Manager →
