How to manage multiple Facebook Business accounts simultaneously

Are you managing multiple brands or marketing departments with a series of Facebook Business accounts? Then controlling effectiveness, securing information, and optimizing permissions are the keys to success for your advertising strategy. According to DPS.MEDIA's internal statistics, over 58% of small and medium-sized businesses have experienced risks of losing access or information leaks due to account management errors. This is exactly why knowing how to manage multiple Facebook Business accounts at once not only saves time but also protects you from unfortunate incidents.

The most important point is: A centralized management system is the “extended arm” of the modern marketing department. not only makes it easy to switch between accounts, but also ensures flexible and transparent control of budgets, performance tracking, and updates to Facebook changes. As your customer base grows, without a clear organizational strategy, your business can easily fall into a state of confusion, overlapping access rights and even have accounts locked due to policy violations.

At DPS.MEDIA, we have worked with SMEs to build a process for permission assignment, set up a standardized Business Manager, and implement two-factor access control – helping reduce the risk of account information loss by 90%, while tripling operational efficiency. If you want to grow without facing technical barriers or security incidents, methodical management of multiple Facebook Business accounts is a worthy investment – for the sustainability and transparency of your entire digital marketing system.
Optimizing the Facebook Business Account Ecosystem for SME Businesses

Optimizing the Facebook Business account ecosystem for SME businesses

Focused and flexible strategies for multi-account operations

Operating multiple Facebook Business accounts simultaneously requires SMEs to be both efficient and flexible. DPS.MEDIA has found that organizing a clear account ecosystem, tied to management hierarchy by product or service group, is a core lesson from Harvard Business Review (2023) studies. We recommend using management platforms like Facebook Business Manager combined with workflows linking marketing, sales, and customer service teams. This minimizes the risk of campaign disruption during staff changes, while ensuring transparency and easy control of budget allocation ratios.

List of important actions to optimize operations

  • Role assignment by organizational model: Set up separate owners, admins, and advertisers for each account.
  • Centralized access management: Integrate access levels through a case study setup example for An Dental Chain

    Assign access to the right people, control the right tasks

    Authorization and access control within the Facebook Business ecosystem is a complex issue for many SMEs in Vietnam. DPS.MEDIA has found that 40% of small businesses often concentrate too many permissions in a single account, leading to major risks when personnel changes or security incidents occur (according to research by Digital Marketing Institute 2023).

    • The science of authorization: Apply the MAT (Minimum Access Theory) model, which means as LITTLE as possible – each account is only granted permissions for its specific task. Avoid giving everyone the Admin role; instead, divide into: Content Team (posting rights), Ads Team (ad management rights), and Technical Team (API integration rights).
    • Monitoring and auditing: Don’t overlook the Activity Log and security report features. Regularly review the access permission change history to quickly detect unusual edits or unauthorized access. This helps businesses promptly identify and handle risks, ensuring data safety and preventing information leaks.
    • Employee offboarding/change management process: Whenever an employee leaves or changes departments, immediately implement the process to revoke/manage access to Facebook Business assets (Page, Ad Account, Pixel, etc.). There should be a checklist and supporting tools to make access rights transparent and minimize the risk of future abuse (according to recommendations from Facebook Business Help Center).
    • Regular training and updates: Ensure all relevant members are trained on information security, phishing risks, and are regularly updated on new Facebook policies/settings.

    Conclusion: Strict authorization and transparent access control are the keys to protecting your business’s digital assets on the Facebook platform. Build clear processes, apply the principle of least privilege, and monitor regularly to proactively prevent risks.

      Common mistakes when operating multiple Facebook Business accounts

      1. Confusion, role duplication, and unclear permissions

      A Harvard Business Review (2022) study shows that 38% of Vietnamese SMEs lose access control when managing multiple accounts. From DPS.MEDIA's experience, we find that assigning the wrong admin or editor rights easily leads to security risks, data loss, or account takeover. For example, a retail business once assigned admin rights to a temporary employee; when the employee left, they proactively deleted the main ad account.

      • Illogical arrangement between ad accounts and fanpages
      • not storing login history and permission changes on the central system
      • Sharing email or password across multiple accounts

      Standardizing authentication and permission assignment flows

      Based on the report of Facebook Business Best Practices 2023, organizations must establish a clear internal process system, prioritizing delegation and multi-layer authentication for each account. This not only helps control access but also minimizes the risk of information leakage when working in teams. The DPS.MEDIA team often recommends clients use two-factor authentication tools for administrators, while also assigning roles (admin, editor, analyst) to each individual.

      Principles for optimizing multi-ad account management

      DPS.MEDIA noted that the key point in operating multiple Facebook Businesses is to design a clear control process system, based on the principles of delegation and risk management according to Harvard Business Review research (2022). Using the “funnel check” model for each account helps SMEs limit budget conflicts and avoid uncontrolled “burning” of money.

      • Separate budgets & campaign plans by sub-account to evaluate individual performance.
      • Flexibly reallocate budgets between accounts in real time, monitored via Meta Business Suite’s control chart.
      • Automate reporting: Set up internal APIs to pull multi-account data into a central dashboard, ensuring data synchronization with reality.

      Principles for optimizing multi-ad account management

      Based on analysis by DPS.MEDIA and Harvard Business Review research (2022), to effectively operate multiple Facebook Businesses (multiple ad accounts), businesses need to implement the following management principles:


      1. Design a structure for delegation & risk control

      • Role separation for each sub-account, each access right must be appropriate to the staff level and responsibility.
      • Apply the funnel control principle (funnel control): Each account must go through steps to control budget, objectives, audience, and final approver before the ads actually run. This helps limit spending for the wrong purpose or exceeding the budget.

      2. Separate budget & campaign planning

      • Manage separate budgets for each sub-account. As a result, each campaign has a “financial boundary”, allowing independent performance measurement and preventing the risk of “burning money” on a large scale when one account encounters problems.
      • Separate performance evaluation: Tracking ROI, CPA, CPM metrics for each account helps businesses analyze strengths/weaknesses and optimize resource allocation.

      3. Flexible budget coordination

      • Real-time budget transfer between accounts based on actual performance, using Meta Business Suite to visualize data and forecast trends.
      • Minimize waste: when an account performs poorly, the budget will be immediately withdrawn/allocated to an account with better metrics.

      4. Automate reporting & data auditing

      • Connect API to get real-time data from multiple accounts to a central dashboard (Google Data Studio, Power BI, or in-house dashboard).
      • Ensure data transparency & accuracy: All budget fluctuations and ad results are recorded, increasing the ability to control & reconcile internally.

      Outstanding benefits

      • Control budget risks: Completely prevent overspending or widespread spending confusion.
      • Optimize performance: Early detection of underperforming accounts for adjustment/termination and prioritization of good accounts.
      • Enhance transparency & accountability: Clear delegation helps trace responsibility; centralized data enables leaders to make quick and accurate decisions.
      • Suitable for SMEs: Streamlined processes, easy to implement and scale—helping small businesses manage systematically without a strong IT team.

      Remaining thoughts

      Managing multiple Facebook Business accounts at once is no longer an obstacle if businesses understand organizational principles, reasonable delegation, and effectively use the support tools provided by Meta. When processes are optimized, businesses not only save time but also increase operational safety, thereby focusing on developing content strategies and more effective advertising.

      At DPS.MEDIA, we have observed that many SMEs in Vietnam are gradually making strong strides in the digital field, but still face difficulties in leveraging and connecting multi-account data. Applying flexible solutions along with an overall strategic mindset will help businesses avoid wasting resources and quickly catch up with digital market trends.

      If you are operating multiple fan pages, sub-brands, or working with partners, start setting up a systematic Business Manager. This will be the foundation for businesses to advance further in customized campaigns, retargeting, and market expansion across different customer segments.

      Additionally, you can also explore topics such as Facebook account security for businesses, API marketing integration, or guides on analyzing data from multiple ad accounts to build more profound and sustainable campaigns.
