As you know, I take my job as an ad manager very seriously. I’m invested in my client businesses and I want them (and you) to succeed.
You’ve probably already heard some people talking about how they have their accounts being hacked on FB and they’re losing thousands of dollars and the way in is through their ad manager.
This isn’t always the case, but it is something we need to make sure is addressed.
I’m going to give you some very easy steps to follow and I want to make sure you do them. This protects you but will ultimately save you the headache that a friend of mine has been dealing with for the past 6 months. She’s lost $23,000 because of fraud on her FB account and she still can’t get any answers or access to her account.
Please. Let’s work together to make sure this doesn’t happen to any of us.
I’ve been doing a lot of research and these action steps will have explanations with them so you know why we’re doing what we’re doing. If we’re working together, you will have already seen this in every email, but if you have someone else running your ads and they’re doing so FROM YOUR ACCOUNT, do this ASAP.
Steps To Strengthening Your Facebook Ad Account Security
Step 1:
1. Please, go into your AD ACCOUNT and change the ad manager/marketer’s role to ADVERTISER. This is a role FB has supplied and/or been rolling out over the last year or so and it will give your manager the access they need while protecting your payment options, and all of that. Previously, admin was the only role that could see analytics. I’m so glad that’s not the case anymore. The first step is by using ADVERTISER as the role option.
Here are directions to make it easier.
If you have a business account: https://www.facebook.com/
Find the Ad Account Roles section.
Find the person whose role you want to update and select Remove User.
In the same section, select Add People and add the same person to your ad account. Choose their new role before you add them.
Select Confirm.
Step 2:
To remove a person from your ad account:
Go to Ads Manager Settings. You may be asked to re-enter your password.
Find the Ad Account Roles section.
Find the person you want to remove and select Remove User.
- Go to Business Settings.
- Click Users.
- Click People.
- Select the person you want to remove.
- Click and click Remove.
If you have a personal account:
If you’re not already there, go to Manage Admins. Once there, click Remove to the right of the personal profiles. Remove the personal profiles.
